First Date Follow Up - The Jubal Show - Why should you pick the perfect place to go on in the first date!?

Episode Date: February 8, 2023

First Date Follow Up is when we get an email from someone who went on a date and the other person isn't calling back. We get that other person on the phone to see why they're "ghosting".This First Date Follow Up proves that you should be very careful about what you decide to do on the first date because where you go on the date could mean you may never go on another!

First day follow-up. Lucas is on the phone today for a first day follow-up, and he's being ghosted by a woman named Grace. Hey, Lucas, thank you for your email, man. Appreciate it.

Hey, guys. Before we get into the date and stuff and why you think you're getting ghosted, how long has it been since your date with Grace? Like about almost two weeks now, I think. How many times have you tried to reach out to her in that two weeks? I mean, I'd say at least, I mean, at least three, you know, which I'm already feeling a little, you know, a little like loony toony. Tell us a little bit about your day. What'd you guys do? So, uh, we went out on a hike. Um, I hadn't gone on a hike before, but I was close. I was close. Once I was close. Once we got to the entrance of it, and it looked like the location was closed or something of that nature. So I got lucky.

I didn't have to go. I got lucky and didn't have to go. Okay, so you didn't really want to go hiking. Oh, no. Did you want to go hiking this time? Absolutely not. Why did you go hiking then? I just thought it would be like

you know to explore new horizons a lot of women are supposed to be into that a lot of my friends are into it that's why I try you know. At dinner it's like pretty boring. If I was going to boil down what I think you just said, you said you went hiking because chicks dig hiking. Yeah.

I mean hiking is in everybody's dating profile right? Everybody says they love hiking on dating profiles. I'm like not this many people can love hiking so hiking. Yeah. I mean, hiking is in everybody's dating profile, right? Everybody says they love hiking on dating profiles. I'm like, not this many people can love hiking so much. Yeah. It was her idea. No, it was my idea. Oh, wow. Hmm.

Yeah. Well, I started off a little fraudulent, but you know what I mean? Like, I wanted to try this new thing. You know what I mean? I was like, I didn't want to try it. Well, how was that new weird thing called hiking for you? It was pretty boring for the most part.

I thought it was going to be climbing on rocks and traversing rivers and stuff of that nature, but you just kind of walk on a path. Yeah, that's what a lot of hiking is. It went well, though, I feel like. It was weird. It was sort of in and out. She was ADD out for a second, but she snapped back into conversation. We were vibing. The energy was weird. It was sort of in and out. She was ADD out for a second. But it was like she snapped back into conversation. We were vibing.

The energy was cool. We were laughing. It was flowing. Stream of conversation type deal. But then it would just stop for a second or two or maybe 30 seconds. It was these weird intermittent stopping starting. It was just very strange. But by the end, I was still like, you know maybe she's just got like wild add or um or maybe like there's something else like

on her mind like but i don't know okay so do you feel like she had a good time i i really do which is um which is the strange part so maybe she has like a boyfriend or something that like she broke up with and then immediately felt bad about and got back together. That's what's running through my head right now. I have a good read on energy. I have a very good read on energy. I feel like I'm rarely

wrong in that sense. I don't know what's happening now. That's why I called you guys. What pops up in my head is maybe you think you sold the fact that you don't think that hiking is fun maybe it looked like you really didn't enjoy yourself like you said it was boring so maybe that showed i mean that's definitely a viable thought so how did things end with her then oh and great that's I'm at the point right now where I'm calling you guys where it's like, okay, cool.

I'd love to hang and see this chick again. But I also am not afraid to make a fool of myself on the radio just because I really want to know. I'm also very, curious like what's happening like it's at that point where those two like mediums are so strong that I'm you know I just don't care did you get a kiss at the end of the date or anything

I do not you didn't okay but I felt like she would have let me if I went in for it okay so you pick up on energy like you said so you didn't go in for a kiss but you feel like her energy was telling you if you did, she would have kissed you. 100%. All right, well, we'll try to figure out why you're getting ghosted then. We'll play a song, come back, and get your first date follow-up next.

In the middle of your first date follow-up, if you're just joining us, Lucas is on the phone, and Lucas isn't getting a call back from Grace. He doesn't know why. It's been a few weeks. He's texted her three times and heard nothing. And Lucas says that he can read energy well, and he thinks that she had a good time. He also thinks at the end of the date, if he would have gone in for a kiss,

she would have kissed him back. That's the energy reading that Lucas got from Grace, right? All right. Lucas? Yeah. All right. And remember, Lucas and her went hiking. Even though Lucas doesn't really like hiking,

but Lucas is pretty sure that's a good date because he noticed that a lot of women like hiking. Right. So he thinks Grace had a good time, but now she's been ghosting him. And one of the possibilities also, Lucas, you said maybe she got back with a boyfriend or something? That's like one, yeah,

that's one of the likely scenarios that popped in my head. Okay, one of the likely scenarios, she might have got back with a boyfriend. And was there another one too or was that it? What you guys said before is probably viable too. Like either like she's not into hiking or maybe like it showed that I was not

into it. So either she knew you weren't really into the hike or the date was so terrible she got back with her boyfriend. But we'll find out right now. We'll call her. Alright Lucas, are you ready for us to call her? Yeah. Alright, here we go man. Good luck. Hello? Hi, may I speak to Grace?

Please. This is Grace. Hey, Grace, what's up? This is the Jubal Show. It's a radio show. My name is Jubal. How are you? Oh, no way. Hi. Hi.

I'm doing okay. Grace, we're calling you because we got an email about you from one of our listeners and we had to get you on the phone. About me? Mm-hmm. From who? Well, we do a segment on our show called The First Date Follow-Up. It's where if you go out on a date with someone and end up ghosting them,

that person can email us and ask you why you're ghosting them. So we got an email about you from a dude named Lucas. Oh, okay. Yeah, I do. Okay, so yeah, Lucas emailed us, told us a little bit about your date. He said that he really liked you and thought you were cool. And he thought you thought he was cool. But then after you went hiking with him,

you haven't called him and you haven't gotten back to him and you've been ghosting him and he doesn't know why. So Lucas asked if we could reach out and try to figure it out. So would you mind telling us why you're not talking to Lucas? Uh, yeah. Did he tell you what we did for our date? He said you guys went hiking.

I hated it. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I just, I liked Lucas so much, but I hated our date so much. I hated the hike.

I am not a hiking person. I'm not athletic. I am not outdoorsy. And I just, I hated everything about it. I, I realized that my name is Grace. This may come as a surprise, but I am not an agile person at all.

I almost rolled my ankle. He asked me at one point if I wanted a snack. I wasn't even hungry, but I just said yes so that we'd have an excuse to stop. Stop walking on this hike. I know that everybody's into hiking, but I just hate it. I'm sorry. And Lucas, he's a hiker. He's an avid hiker or something. Yeah. He was super into it. He had all kinds of gear. He was taking leadership. He was so about it. Honestly, I hated the date so much and it made me really sad because I really liked Lucas

as a person. And when I was not catching my breath, I was able to talk to him and he seemed really cool and really interesting. But I just don't see how it could possibly work out when someone's that into hiking and I hate it so much. Okay. I mean, when you date somebody and they love hiking, right? Love hiking. He was so into it. Like, I can't be a part of his life if this is his life yeah because then they're gonna want you to hike all the time and if you don't like hiking and lucas i i really did

like him but i can't if we don't have as basic compatibility like he's always gonna want to be outdoors with me and i don't want to be doing that then how can this possibly move forward i feel like you kind of set yourself up by going on the date, you know, because if you knew it was hiking and you hate hiking. Well, that's how much I liked him. Honestly, like when we were first talking about going on this date, I was willing to give it a shot because I really wanted to spend time with him. But then I tried it and I realized I can't do this and I can't pretend that I'm into this even. I thought maybe I could get into it, but I just can't. I just can't do this and I can't pretend that I'm into this even. I thought maybe I could get into it, but I just can't. I just can't do it.

That really was the central thing. If it wasn't for hiking, I would have loved to have spent time with him. I did love spending time with him. I just hated the hiking. Okay. Well, thank you very much for being honest with us, Grace. Now I have to be honest with you. Lucas is actually on the phone listening and wants to talk to you.

No, seriously. Okay. Hi, seriously. Okay. Hi, Lucas. Hi. So you hear that, Lucas? She's been ghosting you because you're a little too into hiking. Yeah, I heard that. It's really funny.

I'm sorry. I just don't like it. Why is that funny? I mean, it's funny because I haven't ever been hiking before. Yeah, that was the first hike I ever been on. No, it wasn't. Are you trying to make me feel better right now? You don't have to do that.

You already got off the hook. I don't like it. You had all the gear. You had those hike-y poles. I don't even know what they're called. Those walking stick things? Oh, yeah, the ski things yeah of course you need those for the hikes you had those things you don't have those unless you really love to hike those are like advanced gear from my understanding that's the point what was the point i don't even like the point is i

had to be convincing as a hiker like i you know but i don't even like hiking. The point is I had to be convincing as a hiker. But I don't even like to hike. Why were you trying to convince me that you like to hike? Oh, gosh, I really shouldn't say. I'm going to sound like such an asshole. But I just feel like every chick is into hiking. We went on that date because you think every chick is into hiking, so you realized you were going out with a chick and you better take her on a hike?

Is that the logic? Yeah. That would have been if I was like, let's go drink bourbon and throw some axes just because you're a guy. Oh my God, that sounds amazing. No, it does actually. Not getting the point. Honestly, it sounds amazing to me compared to the hike that we went on to. You'd go drink and throw some axes at me?

Hell yeah, I would. Anything to not be outside. That's how I feel. Yeah, I mean, I really, I swear, I only brought you hiking because I really thought that's what you were going to be into. Like, we don't have to ever do that again if you decide to hang with me. All right. Well, then, Grace, would you like to go out with Lucas again on another date? We'll pay for it. Oh, my God.

You'll pay for it and it won't be outdoors? We will keep you as far from the outdoors as possible. Honestly, yeah, I would love that. Lucas, if you'd like to go out again, I would love to get to know the real you. No hiking sticks included. Yeah, no. Yeah, I've been like, bring those skiing sticks and we can pour some bourbon on them and light them on fire. There we go.

Now it's a party. Now it sounds like a date. That's a date I would go on. All right. Congratulations. The Jubal Show on demand. Hey, everyone. It's Katie Couric.
