First date follow-up. A guy named Cal is on the phone for a first date follow-up today. And he said the end of his date ended with a magical kiss in the parking lot. Was it magical? Because

Cal is actually the name of Superman. Did you know that? That's a real name. Cal L. Yeah, so short. Right. No, this is C-A-L. Nothing to do with Superman. Like California. Nothing to do with Superman. Never mind. Okay. He apparently shared a in his email said it was a magical moonlit kiss in the parking lot.

Well, it doesn't always go down like that. With the girl that's not calling him back. Her name is Layla. And I guess we'll ask Cal about it. Cal, how do you have a magical moonlit kiss in a parking lot with a woman and then she just ghosts you? I mean, that's, I guess why I'm talking to you guys. Um, I don't know. I had a great, great date and, um, I just not hearing from her anymore and I just can't figure it out. Well, before we get into everything and find out about the date,

um, how'd you meet her? Oh, do you know the classic way now these days is online, you know, it's the only way to do it. Um, but you know, one of the apps and, um, you know the classic way now these days is online? You know, it's the only way to do it. Um, but you know, one of the apps and, um, you know, we chatted for a while and then, you know, turned into texting and then turned into a date. And then, you know, uh, I thought everything went great. Okay. Um, I've never done this or anything like this before. It's like, I thought this was like, I've never is pretty cool. You've never done anything like what before?

Chase to, you know, follow up with a woman. Oh, like email the radio show to try to get a hold of someone who's not calling you back? Okay. I thought you'd never been on a date before. No, no.

Plenty of those, but what I'm saying is like, she was quality. Like, she's funny. She's smart. She's very attractive. Like, and I thought I brought my A game, you know? Well, what did you guys end up doing for your date?

We went to dinner. I think that's just the best way to share a meal together. You can chat. Nothing too fancy, but upscale. So it was just nice. But we got to know each other. She was funny. She laughed at my jokes.

What type of food was it? Seafood. Seafood. That's a bold move on the first date. Yeah, it is. Smelly breath. I mean, I know that all too well because one time I went on a date and because everybody loves sushi, he took me to sushi, which I hate. Oh, you hate sushi? And I didn't want to tell him because I felt bad, so I just choked it down. Like I'm a

kid with like a mouthful of nasty food trying to wash it down with water. At least you were a trooper. Do you think that maybe your date was pretending to like seafood the whole time? No, no, no. We dug it. I mean, we had a good time and the food was great.

We were sharing each other like, oh, you want to try some of mine? You want to try some of mine? Jubal mentioned something about a moonlight kiss. So can you describe that? In detail? I mean, it sounds like your day went pretty well based on your email. And yes, please describe for us the kiss, everything about it. Dinner ran long.

You know, we got up. It was like, where'd the time go? I walked to her car and, you know, we were just standing there, and the moon was just, like, reflecting right off of her face. It was just that beautiful soft light, and I just went in for a kiss, and it was just instant butterflies. I haven't felt that in a long time. Nice.

So the kiss was just highlight of the night. Okay. Well, it sounds like she might not have been. I don't want to bum you out. It sounds like she might not have felt the same butterflies because now she's not calling you back. How long has it been since you guys have talked? Well, we did text after and it was like, we agreed. It was like fun and we didn't want to do it again.

And we texted here and there and it just kind of like faded out. Her responses just became thinner and thinner. And then now it's been about a week. Okay. Did you actually make plans to do anything else? Yeah, yeah. I texted her like three times the week after, asking her out for different things. And, you know, it was just always never concrete.

You know, she never made it concrete. And I just kept going back. But I don't know what's going on. All right. And there's nothing you can think of that was weird, either in your text after or on the date? I'm telling you, I can't figure it out. Okay, cool.

Cal is on the phone right now for a first date follow-up. He went out with a girl named Layla. They met online, went out for dinner. He thought everything was amazing. They even ended with what he calls a beautiful moonlight kiss. And the way he described it was pretty amazing. He said he got butterflies as soon as they started making out and he was really into where they texted for a little while after their date and then she just sort of ghosted him and he doesn't know why we're about to see if

we can call her get her on the phone and figure it out for him all right cal you ready i i am ready okay one sec. Hello? Hey, I was looking for Layla. This is she. Layla, how are you? This is The Jubal Show. My name's Jubal. Mine's Alex. My name's Evan.

Hi. Do you know what The Jubal. Mine's Alex. My name's Evan. Hi. Do you know what the Jubal show is? Yeah. So it's a radio show. I just want to make sure you're clear. There's not another Jubal show out there that you might be thinking of. No, I know the radio show. That's why I'm like, why are you calling?

Okay, good question. Well, we're calling you because we do a segment on the show called the First Date Follow-Up. I'm not sure if you heard what that is. I heard that before. But what that is, is if you go out on a date with someone and then end up not calling them back, they can email us to get you on the phone and find out why. And you recently ghosted somebody and then they emailed us. And then we took their email and then we talked to them about your date. And then we called you to ask you why you ghosted them. I've heard your show before, but I've never been a part of it. So do you know who we're talking about?

I think it's Cal. Yes, it's Cal. Yes. Congratulations. You got it right. It's Cal. Why aren't you talking to Cal anymore? Well, Cal was cool.

We had a really good time, but I just didn't really feel like he was a gentleman after the end. Like we actually kissed goodnight. He was very, um, respectful. Yeah, he told us, he said that he really was into you and he described your first kiss. I like, I heard music, like romantic music as he was describing your first kiss. For him it was magical. For you? It's like you guys were in the middle of New York City Times Square,

and everything was just like circling around you guys, and nothing else mattered. Right, and then it started raining on just the two of you. I don't remember all of that. Was it not that special for you? No, it was actually very good. We had chemistry. We had a great conversation, great food.

But the next couple of days, he just kind of texted me a couple of times. And I don't know. I was really kind of raised that the man calls you, you know, like he calls you and asks you out again. And he just never did. And it just kind of rubbed me wrong. I was like, I don't know if I want somebody who just hides behind text messages. Okay. He said he did ask you out.

He did through text, but he never called me and he never asked me personally, do you want to go out with me again? And that's just kind of something I've been raised with and expecting and it just didn't happen. And I, I don't know. I just, I kind of felt like maybe it wasn't the right fit i can't tell are you joking or no i'm very serious like i don't texting i think is a weak way of showing your emotion so you don't want to see him again because this is weird to

me because nobody picks up the phone and calls anybody anymore. If someone calls me, I'm like, oh, what's wrong? Who died? I don't know. That's kind of why I think it's more special. Like he took the time to call me, even though it's not the norm, it's not the regular. And it was almost like, if he calls you, then he's actually serious. It's not a booty call. It's not just a let's chat when I have time. No, he took the time out for me to call me. And I just when he didn't do that, it just kind of made the magic kind of fizzle out a little bit. Alex, does that make sense to you as a female? No, I mean, not really. Like to me, I wouldn't care.

And I also don't like to talk on the phone. So really, you've never like felt that a phone call is way more personal and special and they single you out to talk to you for an extended period of time instead of just, oh, I'm in the bathroom and I'm texting you. Like, I don't want your bathroom text. Yeah, I just don't really care. I feel like most people don't. But hey, you know, that's your thing. So that's why you're not calling him back because he didn't actually pick up the phone and call you. Yeah, I didn't feel like he cared enough to put that time for me. Okay.

All right. Well, guess what? He did put the time in to be on the phone right now to have a conversation with you. He's been listening this whole time and would like to talk to you, like on the phone, not via text. Oh, what? He's here, like on the phone? Hi.

Oh, hey. Hey. Really? Like, that's the reason you didn't, you know, text me back? That's why you ghosted me? Because I didn't call you? Yeah. Yeah. I expect a gentleman to, I, you know, actually back. That's why, why you ghosted me. Cause I didn't call you. Yeah.

I expect a gentleman to, I don't know, call me and take time out of his day to see how I'm doing. I thought that's what I was doing. Very disrespectful. I don't see how disrespectful is saying, Hey, would you like to do these three things? Which I looked into and try to make plans with you immediately. I don't see that as disrespectful. Then if you took the time to look for all these plans, why couldn't you have just called me like we did forever and ever before texting became the norm? And you could have asked me personally, voice to voice, you know, like, I just feel like it was very lazy. Well, I mean,

when we met on the app, I asked you out when we were messaging. So like, I don't understand how this is different. Because that was in the app. We had moved on from the app. We'd actually had a date. You kissed me. It was wonderful. And I thought, wow, maybe this guy will call me and show me that I matter and that I'm not just another girl. He texts because, listen, I know how it is. I know I have friends who've been on dates and they went to hide behind your true feelings or emotions or intentions. And I expect my intentions and your intentions to be clear. Okay. Well, that's a lot. I mean, that sounds like you're pretty serious about that. Would you like to go on another date with Cal?

We will pay for it. He's on the phone right now. He can ask you in person. I mean, I know this probably is an awkward start, but we did have a good date. And obviously you thought I was special enough to email a place. So I guess you did do the work and I was standing corrected on that. I would like to go out with you again, Cal, if you are willing to go out with me. Honestly, the last five minutes have been such a turnoff of me disrespecting you and

all that stuff so i am no longer interested and that's fine now you know very much but i feel like you're a person that i'll never ever be able to make happy good luck you couldn't even make me happy after the first date so i guess you're right. That is apparent. And I'm not going to apologize for having high standards because another guy thinks I'm hard to please. Sorry. Maybe you guys are lazy. Thank you for your honesty. Appreciate it. And hopefully you'll find a dude

that will be able to date you right. I don't think he will. Cal, thank you for your email. Sorry you don't get another date, man. Get back out there. You guys saved me a lot of time and a lot of money. Cal, thank you for your email. Sorry you don't get another date, man, but get back out there. Oh, no. You guys saved me a lot of time and a lot of money. Jubal's First Date Follow-Up.
