Taylor is on the show today for a first date follow-up, and she's getting ghosted by a guy named Jake. So in a few minutes, we'll call him and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting her and maybe get her another date. But first, Taylor, how long has it been since you

talked to Jake? Hi, it's been six days. Oh, okay. That's not terrible. Almost a week. It felt like forever, though, guys. I'm, like, freaking out. I've been freaking out. Yeah. It's the worst feeling. How many times have you tried to reach out to him?

I haven't, like, reached out to him. I'm just waiting to hear back. Did he tell you that he was going to hit you up after the date? Oh, yeah. We had planned for a whole date and everything. Oh. But then after the date, our first date, you know, it's been radio silence. Okay.

It's so stupid. It makes me feel so stupid. No, you're not stupid. Yeah, that's not your fault. You know, unfortunately it happens, but we'll see if we can figure out why. We don't know. It's not your fault, but we'll figure it. Tell us about the date.

Well, so we actually met at a mutual friend's birthday party. And just from that, like, that wasn't our first date, but that whole night, I mean, I spent the entire night talking him. I barely even said happy birthday to my friend. But we were just in the kitchen, like, making stupid. good jokes and that kind of led to us talking the entire night and um I just had a really great time with them then and I haven't really felt that in a long time and so we we planned a date and then we got ramen and we walked around a park and it was like exactly like the moment that we met it was just like just I don't know sparks I get I don't it sounds so

Chemistry. No, people have chemistry. It's real. I mean, we were just laughing is the thing. I don't know. It's like, I felt like immediately I could be so silly and stupid with him and everything felt very comfortable and natural right from the start. I don't know. It's like, I mean, he's just really, I mean, he's also very cute. So like that doesn't hurt, you know, but it's not even about like looks or anything. It was just this feeling of comfort and being, silly and I'm such a silly stupid person and I love being silly and stupid

and I feel like so often when I'm talking to guys it's like they're I don't know they're expecting me to be a certain way and I didn't feel like that with Jake at all and he's very funny too and I was one that makes me laugh and I'm just

I was laughing so much I was just laughing the whole time I mean by the end of the first date we already have so many inside jokes and you know when you find that I'm just like, I don't get that often. No, totally. But what do you think could have gone wrong?

Okay. So I do think it is my fault, actually. And I feel like it's the, I mean, I'm a clumsy person, but this is like the worst thing that I've ever done. I think it's very embarrassing. So you know that, you know, when you like check in with your best friend in the middle of the date and you just give them like the, you know, the text, it's like, okay. your vibes are good or whatever or whatever So actually

I I did send that text to him instead You texted him? Oh no What did it say? Let me just read it to you Okay

So he said I said He's cute But if he says Vibes unironically one more time I might combust Oh What kind of is

So are you kind of a joke. It was kind of a joke because it was actually, I was going to tell her later that that was actually like an inside joke between like me and Jake that we were, because we were talking, like, we were being like bros and I don't know, we were just pretending to be bros and doing

all this stuff and so it was kind of a funny thing to me that I was just going to tell her about later and then, yeah, I sent that to him and then reading it back, I'm like, oh, that actually sounds like I actually am making a dig at him or something and that's not at all what it was

oh my god but yeah so I sent that to him what did he say when he got it like did he call you out like did you just send a message or I didn't know I he didn't see it because like I sent it while we were still on the date and so I mean he's such a sweetheart like you didn't even look at his phone the entire date so he didn't even see it until after we had already parted ways and I don't know like the date I did so well we kissed and we yeah we made that plan to meet again and then after the date that's when I saw that I sent that him and stuff. Oh my gosh

I'd be freaking out right now too. Oh no. We'll see if that is the reason. We'll play a song, come back, and then call him and see if he'll tell us why he's ghosting you and maybe get you a second date, okay? Okay. Thank you guys. All right.

I don't. I don't listen. No, not actively. All right. Well, no worries. The reason we're calling you today is because of a segment that we do-do on the show. You said do-do. Sorry about that. Wow. Both of you. Are you serious? You should really listen because that's the high-calibre kind of stuff you get on the show, you know? That was really funny to me. It was funny to me, too. Because do-do, Victoria. Anyway.

Oh, my God. Jake, I'm sorry. We do a segment on the show. called the first date follow-up. That's where if you go on a date with somebody and then you end up ghosting them, that person can email us and get you on the phone to ask you why you're ghosting. So we got an email about you from somebody.

Yeah. Is that Taylor? Is it Taylor? Yes, it is Taylor. You knew that fast. Yeah. Do you have a few minutes to talk to us about it and tell us why you're ghosting?

100%. Totally. I'd love to. Oh, okay. Hey, now this just makes it even worse. Um, I, she was, she was fantastic. She, no, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, I don't know, I met her not too long ago or at a birthday party. It was just like, you know, we just like,

we just, like, I don't know, I don't know, you meet somebody and it's just like, yeah, this makes sense. Yeah. It's, like, flows really well and it was great. Um, and I mean, she did, she, she, she, she, she she texted me this thing about about vibes and combust in, which I honestly thought it was, I thought it was so funny. Um, I just didn't reply. I, um, it's kind of really stupid. Um, so my roommate got a VR headset,

you know, you put them on, you know, like go into, you can play games and, like, yeah, that's cool.

Yeah. No, you're crazy, but like, and I've never used it before, so I kind of got like really, really addicted to virtual reality ping pong. Okay.

Dope. And I've been going crazy in it. And I stood too close to, to the corner of this wall and fractured my wrist as I was playing. Oh. You fractured your wrist

playing VR. Okay. That's funny. I'm sorry. I shouldn't laugh at that. That hurts. No, it's okay. I mean, it's stupid.

I feel so stupid about it. And now, like, because I fractured it, it hurts to hold my phone. Like, my phone's sitting on my desk right now and I'm just speaking into it. I can't type. I can't text.

I can't play virtual reality ping pong. I can't do it. anything so and okay oh it's just tough so like i've tried to i've tried to verbalize my text you know and like speak them out so that Siri picks them up yeah voice the text yeah vibes are snorting and brahman's destiny and it like it doesn't make sense okay so because you hurt your wrist you can't communicate with people i just kind of feel dumb okay honestly okay that's why you're ghosting a little bit because like I don't know how to it's frustrating when I can't text

and I don't know how to be like hey I haven't talked to you because I broke my wrist playing virtual reality ping pong I didn't even anything Oh well if you guys hit it off like you think you did I don't know that she'd think it was dumb Maybe she thinks it's cute

I guess maybe I didn't really think about that Can I say something? Can I say something? Yes you can Hey Jake that's Taylor She's been on the phone listening Wait, what? Yeah, no doubt.

Taylor? Yeah. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. Like, I just, I thought I totally humiliated myself. I've been spiraling for the past six days, but you've got a VR ping pong wrist injury? What? Yeah. That's what this is all about.

Yeah, kind of. I'm so sorry. No, I mean, like, that's so random and adorable, but also, like, it's been six days, and I thought that you hated me. I don't know of him right now. I don't hate you. I literally, I could never hate you. I was, I've been, like, really happy that we met and beating myself up that I feel like I can't just, like,

be an adult and just do the adult thing and tell you I broke my wrist playing ping pong. What hell do you play it like that? VR ping pong. Oh, I don't know. I would play VR ping pong with you, Jake. I'd play that with me.

You know, once you're a field. I mean, I can just swap to my left hand and you can use your right. Okay. You probably shouldn't say you can use your left hand. Otherwise, she's going to get even more mad. You could have texted with your left hand. I can't.

Oh, Jake. I can't. No, I don't know. I'm sorry. Guys, Jake, he's a very cute human. I actually say that at him. Oh, okay. Well, that's cute.

Jake, would you like to go out on another date with Taylor? We'll pay for it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. 100%. Okay.
