First date of follow-up powered by the advocates injury attorneys online at advocateslaw.com Jenna is on the phone today and she's getting ghosted by a dude named Pete and we're gonna help her find out why in just A second, but first Jenna, how long has it been since you heard from Pete? It's been a week or so I'd say and how many times have you reached out to him? I reached out a few times I haven't heard anything, you know, we had a great first date. We met at a sports bar. I met him on Hinge. And then we found out that we have some mutual friends.

And you know, they were like, yeah, you guys definitely need to hang out. So you met him on Hinge, and then you found out you had mutual friends, and then you told your friends and they were like, yeah, you guys would be a good fit. Yeah. Okay.

So tell us about the date. So we went to a sports bar. You know, our mutual friends both said that we're laid back. So we both decided to just go to a sports bar, get some wings and some beers. And, you know, he was such a gentleman the whole time. He opened, um, the door for me and he even let out my chair. That's never happened before. And I just don't know.

He's super hot. He's like a 10 out of 10, a gentleman and super good looking. So I'm really into him. I was a personality. Great personality. I mean, his mannerisms were a one, you know, the thing is I noticed he was using a napkin when eating the wings. And the only thing I can think about why he goes to me was maybe I was like licking my fingers when I was eating my wings. That might have grossed him. Rather than using a napkin or like washing them?

Yeah. He was like using a napkin. He was really like prim and proper. I don't want him to think like I'm this gross girl. He's the weird one in my opinion. You're supposed to lick your fingers after you eat wings. Right? Right? Yeah. He's this down nabby.

Right? I mean, give me some tea with that way. I was in my limits for everything. They were good. That's the only thing you can think of is maybe he thought that you were a barbarian because you were licking your fingers instead of using a napkin. Like a classy lad. That's the only thing I can think about.

So what was your last interaction like? I texted him to let him know like what a great date and he just never responded. I mean the end of the day it was great you know. Did you like kiss or anything? We did. We had a little small it wasn wasn't like, you know, tongue in down, but the conversation was really well. I mean, he talked about his grandparents and how he admired their relationship. And we talked about music. We have a lot of artists that we like, some of the same artists and music compatibility is really important on a day

Right. I mean it was pretty lightly back. I mean what really got me is that he was just such a gentleman Yeah, I've never had that before okay never and he completely ghosted me Okay, well see we can figure it out We'll play a song come back back, and then call him, and then ask him why he's ghosting you, and see if he tells us, and then maybe get you another date if you still want one, okay? Okay. All right, play a song, come back, and get your first date follow-up next. First date follow-up powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys, online at AdvocatesLaw.com. If you're just joining us for today's first date follow-up, Jenna is on the phone, and she's getting ghosted by Pete, so we're about to call him and, Jenna is on the phone and she's getting ghosted by Pete.

So we're about to call him and see if we can figure out why he's getting ghosted and maybe get her another date if she's still into it after she hears the reason. Before we do that though, Jenna, why don't you catch everybody up on your time with Pete? My time with Pete was incredible. He's an awesome guy. He's everything that I'm looking for in a man. He's really awesome guy. He's everything that I'm looking for in a man. He's really good looking and I just don't know what happened. I text him and never heard anything back from him.

We just have so much in common, common friends, common music. I mean, except for he's a napkin user. Yeah. Okay. That's for he's a napkin user, you know. Yeah. That's for he's a napkin user, right? So I think that that was the issue. If I had to assume I was licking my fingers when I was eating my chicken wings, he was using the napkin. So.

Yeah. I mean, the only weird thing about that would have been if you would have grabbed his napkin and then licked the napkin clean as well. That would have been weird. But those fingers, I don't see that as a weird thing. All right. We're about to call him. You ready? Yeah, I'm ready.

OK, here we go. Hello. Hi, may I speak to Pete, please? Yeah, yeah, this is Pete. Hey, Pete, how are you? My name is Jubal. I host a radio show and it's called The Jubal Show. Yeah, hi Pete. is Pete. Hey Pete, how are you? My name is Jubal. I host a radio show and it's called The Jubal Show. Yeah, hi Pete.

The show is here as well. My name is Nina. Hi, and I'm Victoria. Hi. How's it going? Yeah, I mean, it's going okay. What's going on? Have you ever listened to the show before?

Yeah, no, I've listened to the show and I mean, did I win something? I mean, that would be great Maybe you could have won something. I'm not really sure yet Okay I'm not sure if you've ever heard a first date follow-up before but that's where if you go out on a date with somebody and Then you get ghosted you can email us to get that person on the phone and ask Why you're getting ghosted. So you are currently ghosting somebody and they want to know why oh Okay you're getting ghosted. So you are currently ghosting somebody and they want to know why. Oh, okay. Who am I ghosting?

You don't know who you're ghosting? Have you gone on any dates and just stopped talking to somebody recently? Oh, you guys are talking about Jenna, aren't you? Yes. So yeah, no, Jenna, I mean, don't get me wrong. I had a lot of fun on the date. You know, I I thought we shared a bunch of mutual interests and she seemed very engaged in everything. But I don't know what happened, but a couple drinks in and she starts calling me

Steve and I understand that, you know, Pete and Steve kind of sound the same. Definitely have, you know, certain consonants at play here. So I don't know why. And I kind of, I was trying to like write it off, you know, but yeah, no, she, she kept calling me Steve. And it was, it was a turnoff. It kind of, it seemed disrespectful. I don't know if she has a thing for a guy named Steve, still hung up on somebody. I don't know. Did you say anything to her when she called you Steve? Did you correct her? Did you ask who Steve was?

And first she was like slurring her words a little bit and don't get me wrong. Like I, you know, I can hold my own when it comes to alcohol and I've dealt with a couple of lightweights in my day. So I didn't think much of it, but then I realized, you know, yeah, it wasn't any kind of mistake. She was, she was definitely saying Steve over and over again. So I just, it really started to wear on me. I didn't want to say anything and I wouldn't didn't want to also like cause any kind of scene.

I didn't want to be disrespectful of her because she was getting more and more intoxicated and whatnot. So I just decided to call it there. One time I was trying to get things back on track and I was telling her a story about trying to throw my name in there. A friend was like, hey Pete. And I was like, yeah. And they were like, Pete, can you do this for me?

I was trying to reiterate and she wasn't getting the hint. I don't know. So that's why I haven't followed up. That's why I haven't like returned any texts or anything just because I felt a bit disrespected, a bit dejected because you know, I don't want her to stay and wait for some other dude, you know. That's fair.

All right. Well, thanks for telling us, Steve. Appreciate that. Pete, we know. Thank you. Thanks for thanks for telling us Steve. Appreciate that Thank you for that that's great now your entire listenership I appreciate that my name is Pete on the record Got you Pete. Well, I guess what on the record Jenna is actually on the phone too, and she's listening and wants to talk to you She's been listening. Oh goodness Brilliant. Yeah. Hi. Hi, Jenna. It's Pete. Hi, Pete.

I'm so sorry. I was super nervous on our date and I apologize completely. Steve is my boss and I'm with. Oh, okay. All day. And it's just kind of by default. I don't want to say anything because we're on the radio and he might be listening in. So great boss, but yeah, I, I, I work a lot and I, I'm, I try to do my job as best as I can. So I'm, I'm a little bit of a workaholic.

So please forgive me. I know your name is Pete and I just asked for a second chance to get it right. I'm sorry. I can't get over this boss thing. Victoria, can you imagine going on a date and calling somebody jubil? Absolutely not. If you text me to ask me a question, I purposely. I know Jenna when you're nervous things happen, but that's so funny. I know. I would have never imagined that was the reason. I'm so sorry.

How many times did I call you Steve? I mean, I lost count after the first 11. You went in on the Steve. Oh my God. You probably called him Steve more times than you called them Pete. Admittedly, no, I, I can appreciate, you know, the, the work ethic and everything and I can appreciate having a hard boss. So, um, that is, I'm, I'm glad it's not next. That is, that's understandable.

Yeah. I'm not into anybody. Uh, I have no one in my life. I'm totally interested in, in seeing where things go with you and I. So just to make that clear. Pete, would you like to go out with Jenna again on another day? We'll pay for it. You know, that sounds like a lot of fun. I did have fun on the day with Jenna and you know, just as long as there are no other names tossed around besides Pete and Jenna, then I'm okay.

That's fine. We'll find a place to send you that involves name tags. Just be safe. Just bring your own. Hello, my name is. Yeah, please. Let's go. Jubil's first date follow-up powered by the Advocates Injury Attorney.
