Be more you this year and find them on Bumble. The Indicator is a podcast where daily economic news is about what matters to you. And we're guessing most days, that's money.

First date follow-up. You know, they don't do blind dates anymore. People don't really do, like, true blind dates anymore because of social media. Right. Even if someone sets you up with a friend that you've never seen, you can

still find them and find out what they look like. It didn't used to be like that. It didn't used to be like that. I don't know what you guys are talking about. It wasn't even that long ago. It wasn't that long ago, English heaven. You could be set up on a date. One of your friends could set you up with someone and you'd never see what they look like

until you showed up. Whoa. You'd sit down at the table and you'd be like hi that's what you look like huh I didn't know you had three noses that's an interesting thing let's talk about it that's a good discussion piece if you have three noses by the way but I feel like actual real blind dates might be better than what goes on with dating now because Probably. Because you see them online. You might meet them online, like on Tinder, which is where Danielle, who's on the phone for her first date follow-up, met the guy she wants to call today. She met him on Tinder. But the thing is, if you meet someone online, they're putting their best pictures out there

and a lot of times when they show up, they don't look like what they were supposed to look like. So now you think they're a liar. You know? Instead of just being like, oh, okay, I had no idea what you look like and I'm not a fan or I am a fan. Now you're like, you lied to me about how you look. You just posted like a good picture of yourself or angles.

Yeah. Lighting. So Danielle is on the phone. And like I just said, she met a dude off of Tinder. And what's his name, Danielle? Hi, his name is Andrew. Andrew. Okay.

Tell us about Andrew. Yeah. So I met Andrew on Tinder and we started messaging each other and the conversation on the text was like really good. Like he seemed funny and like it just was like natural. Like I would text and he would text back like it just flowed. You said it seemed funny on text. Like what sort of things was he was he throwing your way? I don't really have a specific example. He was just really funny and personable.

And then he just seemed totally different on the date. Okay. What did he do differently? Or like, do you just not have a good personality and you thought he did over text? Yeah. It was like he just really wasn't talkative. Maybe he was nervous.

I don't know. It was just like the only time he really talked was when I would ask a question, and then he would respond. We went out to dinner, and it just seemed like I was out to dinner with a completely different person. So your recap of things doesn't sound awesome. Why do you want to do a first-day follow-up? Why do you want to call him?

I don't know. I just think that maybe he was disappointed. The only thing I can think of is my pictures because I mean, what else could there be? So maybe I didn't look enough like my pictures. I don't really know. I mean, unless like you think that you look a lot different than your pictures. I don't see why that would be the reason. That wouldn't even come across my mind, really. Was there anything that he brought up or that you guys didn't agree upon as far as a conversation or anything else that you can think of?

No, I really can't. That's why I'm like, what's going on? And I thought we had something cool going on in the text and then in person it just was weird. Okay, and the only thing you can think of is maybe he thought you were different than what you appeared to be online, which you're also telling us he was different than what he appeared to be online, it sounds like. Yeah, I guess it does sound weird. But yeah, that's the only thing I can think of.

Okay, so how long has it been since the date? It's been three days since our date, and I've texted him several times in different things, like, hey, how was your day? Or even like oh this is what I'm doing today or I'm watching this and it's so funny what are you watching and you've had no response

no response all right so we're gonna call him and see if we can figure out what went wrong but I can't even tell do you want another date with him yeah because like it sounds like a really bad date no I do if it's the same guy from the text, you know what I mean?

Like I, and I like more than anything at this point too, I just really want to know like what happened. Like you all said like maybe it was first date jitters and now I'm like, oh, maybe it was, but now three days of not texting me. It's like, what? Yeah. What happened?

Something happened. He would respond by now. I feel like for sure. I mean, mean yeah and if someone blows you off like that and they've been awesome leading up to the day and then you meet them in person and they seem like something's bothering them and then they just like ghost you i'd be curious no matter what just like you are yes thank you that's that's exactly what i want to find out all right well we'll play a song come back and then we'll call them and get your first day follow-up. All right? Cool.

Thanks, guys. Yep. We'll do it next. It's a Jubal show. Right in the middle of a first date follow-up, and if you're just joining us, Danielle is on the phone, and she can't figure out why she's not getting a call back from some dude named Andrew. Andrew. And her date with Andrew wasn't the best.

Yeah. But she met him on Tinder and said that he was awesome until they actually met in person. Then he wasn't so awesome, but it seemed like something about her was bothering him. And then he hasn't talked to her in three days since they went out. So she's pretty sure something happened and something went wrong. And just to be clear again with people, you don't care if you get another date. You just want to find out what could have been so terrible that he was completely different than how he was when you met him online. Yeah. I mean, if he's really liked the terrible that he was completely different than how he was when you met him online yeah i mean if he's really like the guy that i was texting then yeah i want another date but if he's like the guy that was on the date then no i i'm good okay i really want to know what

happened though all right well call him right now and see if we can find out what guy what guy he is all right here we go okay all right here we go i'm. All right, here we go. I'm dialing this phone number right now. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Andrew, please? This is Andrew. Hey, Andrew, how are you? This is the Jubal show. Wait, did you say this is Jubal, like from the Jubal show? Yes. I'm confused. Who is it? Why are you calling me? This is Jubal from the Jubal show. Obviously, you know the show. It's me, Jubel. Me, Alex. Me, Evan.

Oh, hey, guys. Hey. Hey. How's it going today, Andrew? I'm doing okay. How are you guys? Good. I mean, it sounds like you know the show. Is that right or no? I've heard you guys a couple times. Yeah. Yeah. Time to time, I retune in. Okay, great.

Thanks for listening. Yeah. We got an email about you from someone named Danielle. Oh, okay. So this is one of those first date things. Yes, the first date follow-up. Danielle told us about your date, said that she really thought you were pretty cool at first when she met you on Tinder. And then, you know, your date was kind of interesting.

Seemed like someone was bothering you when you guys went out and you haven't talked to her since. So she asked us if we could call you and try to find out what happened. Yeah, she said she texted you a couple times and you didn't respond. Yeah, what the hell? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I didn't end up responding. Why not, Andrew? All right, so this is going to sound a little weird, but I kind of got not so good vibes from her on the date. Why not Andrew?

She lied to you? About what? About what? I don't even know. She might be 18. Like she's definitely younger than she said she was. And you know, like starting something off like that. Wait, wait, wait. So how old did she say she was?

She told me she was 24. She told you she was 24. And you think she's how old? Maybe 18. Okay. But based on what though, like her appearance, like, because I i mean some people look

really young or could look really old and could be young yeah she looked younger but it was just like her demeanor like i made some references you know just in conversation and like she didn't have any idea what i was talking about like i mentioned just something about like i had to switch my 401k provider when i got a new job. It was a pain in the ass. And like, she was like, wait, what's that? What? I mean, she told me she works, but I feel like, you know, someone who's a little bit older knows at least what that is. Yeah, that would be something that someone who was younger, maybe 18 or younger, wouldn't really necessarily understand what a 401k is.

Yeah. 18 or younger wouldn't really necessarily understand what a 401k is yeah i mean i don't even know the ins and outs of it how it works but i i've not i know what it is yeah that's just one example but things just sort of throughout the night just seemed like she was really young so i kind of got the sense that she was lying to me about her age and i didn't think that was cool yeah okay is that and is that why she said that when you guys met up, you were different than you were when you guys were talking on Tinder or texting? She said you were super personable and funny, and on the date, it seemed like something was bothering you.

Did you feel that way from jump, like right when she walked in, you felt like she was lying about her age? After a few minutes after the date started, yeah. I was just taken back, and I kind of felt deceived. Like, I wasn't talking to the person that I was chatting with on Tinder. And then, you know, at the end of the date, she went in for the kiss, and I kind of pulled back. I was like, I can't kiss this girl.

Like, she may end up putting me in jail. Oh. That's the last thing you need. Exactly. Thank you for being honest with us. I appreciate it. Also, now, Andrew, I do want to remind you of something. What?

She's on the phone listening and wants to talk to you. Hi, Andrew. Oh, my God. Yeah. Hi. This is weird. I am not 18. Okay. So how old are you? I'm 21. Oh, so you did lie. I did

lie, but that's just because sometimes guys won't go on a date with me because I'm 21. But, like, I have my stuff together. I'm used to seeing people that are older. I hang out with older people anyway. Like, so I didn't think it was that big of a deal. It's just three years. Oh, well, I just think this is a, like, I don't like to start first dates off by lying about stuff. What if I didn't notice? When were you planning on telling me? I mean,

if there was a second date, but I mean, also if that's what you? When were you planning on telling me? I mean, if there was a second date. But I mean, also, if that's what you were thinking, you should have said something on the date or in the text. Like, to ghost somebody is, like, really rude. But to lie to somebody else is rude. But to, like, ghost me or anybody, like, ignore somebody, that's really rude. Yeah, but you lied to me. But three years, that's not a big

deal i'm of age i'm legal it's not like it's not like i really was 18 i'm 21 like but you still lied to me yeah well you still ignored me so okay well i don't know i feel like i had a reason to ignore you i mean that's a pretty my, that's a pretty big lie. So, I mean, yeah, I'm totally turned off by this. Can I help you guys with anything else or is this it? Yeah, you can. I just need to ask you a real quick question. Would you like to go out on another date with Danielle? We'll pay for it. Sounds like you guys are hitting it off great. And she's of age.

Yeah. Honestly, no. I prefer honestly on a date, so I'm really not that interested. I don't blame you. Yeah, Andrew, the feeling is likewise. I don't want to go out with you again. I don't like how you didn't respond to me, and the stuff that you said today is just, like, real turn off. So, no thanks.

I mean, yeah, I guess this is sometimes what happens on Tinder. I will say I don't think it sounds like you two are meant for each other. Really? I don't think so either. I wasn't getting those vibes. I Tinder. I will say I don't think it sounds like you two are meant for each other. Really? I don't think so either. I wasn't getting those vibes. I agree. I thought you guys were. Maybe it's because she doesn't have a 401k.

Maybe. I don't know what it is. Yeah. Jubal's First Date Follow-Up. We're so done with New Year, New You. This year, it's more you on Bumble. More of you shamelessly sending playlists, especially that one filled with show tunes. More of you finding Gemini's because you know you always like them.
