Speaker 1: Second date of date. How many men would you say
Speaker 1: that you've gone out with in your entire life? Like
Speaker 1: just guesst ament. I have no idea. I mean, like,
Speaker 1: how that many? You're just talking like on dates? Yeah,
Speaker 1: just on a normal date or just like dudes I
Speaker 1: kissed in random bars. I don't know what are we talking?
Speaker 1: The hundreds thousands dates? Not thousands, but basically enough where
Speaker 1: you've lost count years and years ago. I'll say that
Speaker 1: when I made the choice to marry my husband, I
Speaker 1: had sampled a lot of different things before I got okay,
Speaker 1: and I knew that it was now exactly what I wanted. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the perfect it was the best you could do. Mine
Speaker 1: was a trial and error type of situation in the
Speaker 1: date of The reason why I bring this up is
Speaker 1: because one of our listeners, Maggie, emailed in and she says,
Speaker 1: including the guy that she wants us to call today,
Speaker 1: she's gone out with two guys in her entire life.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Okay, we can't talk to a fourteen
Speaker 1: year old. No, she's of legal age and she's on
Speaker 1: the phone right now. Maggie. How you doing? Ah, I
Speaker 1: promise I'm a legal age. I just went out with
Speaker 1: the first one, like by accident, for like nine years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you were one of those that were stuck in the
Speaker 1: relationship cycle and you couldn't break up with a or
Speaker 1: maybe just in love. Well, you know, at some point
Speaker 1: that was a question. It's like, am I stuck in
Speaker 1: a relationship cycle or am I love? But anyway, it
Speaker 1: was a big breakup, and um, yeah, I don't have
Speaker 1: a lot of experience stating, so I've been doing stuff
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to do, Like I signed up for
Speaker 1: a class for archery. Is that where you ended up
Speaker 1: meeting the guy that you want us to call? Yeah?
Speaker 1: You right away you were literally struck by Cupid's arrow. Wow.
Speaker 1: So what's this guy's name before we get into the
Speaker 1: full story, Darren? Darren? Okay, and how did you and
Speaker 1: Darren strike up a conversation? Well, he was standing next
Speaker 1: to me, you know, because we were lined up in
Speaker 1: front of targets, and he was totally trying to impress
Speaker 1: me and everything, and at some point he was like,
Speaker 1: I bet you I could hit your target. Oh god,
Speaker 1: I did he say it with that tone? Did that work? Yes? Well,
Speaker 1: I was kind of like, is he just saying like that?
Speaker 1: Isn't innue window or is he like no, no, he
Speaker 1: really tried to hit my apple side. Oh it's funny.
Speaker 1: He's like not even trying to hit on you. Okay. Anyway,
Speaker 1: at some point after like a million times as well,
Speaker 1: all right, it was probably like fifty, but he was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's it, let's go get a drink, smooth nice. It's
Speaker 1: always good to drink after archery, not before exactly. So
Speaker 1: what did you guys end up doing? Well? A couple
Speaker 1: of people from class at that And then he asked
Speaker 1: me out on the like a date date. And you know,
Speaker 1: like I said, I do not have an experience with
Speaker 1: like dating. It's more like boyfriend stuff. So I had
Speaker 1: no idea like what to expect. I don't think you'll
Speaker 1: have to like expect much. You sat like a lovely person.
Speaker 1: It's easy to talk to, and he was obviously attracted
Speaker 1: to you. I think people overthink it maybe sometimes, especially
Speaker 1: when they don't have a lot of experience in it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he like planned this picnic and the park that's
Speaker 1: super romantic. Yeah. It was like we were just laughing
Speaker 1: and joking around so much, and he brought one of
Speaker 1: those like little Chinese paper lanterns. I mean, it was
Speaker 1: kind of weird because one of them kind of flew
Speaker 1: into a dream. But I was really glad we didn't
Speaker 1: like set the park on fire. I'm just gonna tell
Speaker 1: you now, not offers dats or as planned as this one. Okay,
Speaker 1: but I mean it was so sweet and romantic and
Speaker 1: it was like really getting dark. So I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, we really need to get out of here.
Speaker 1: And we didn't realize this, but they closed the gates
Speaker 1: to the park. Oh god, oh my god, I know.
Speaker 1: And so we were both like, oh, no big deal.
Speaker 1: We get an uber and the uber was like, there
Speaker 1: are no ubers in your area. And so I was
Speaker 1: like racking my brain for like who I could call,
Speaker 1: and nobody was picking up and so finally he got
Speaker 1: his dad on the phone. Oh this is sounding cute
Speaker 1: to you. No, I'd rather walk while, you know, at
Speaker 1: least somebody picked us up. She's a relationship girl, she's
Speaker 1: used to relationships, bring in laws whatever, I guess exactly.
Speaker 1: Like I was a little like, oh, well, it's a
Speaker 1: little much for a first day, but what are your
Speaker 1: other options? Like, there are not you could spend the
Speaker 1: night in the park with those Chinese lanterns. I mean,
Speaker 1: so anyway, his dad was super funny and he wasn't
Speaker 1: like mad. It's just kind of like telling funny stories
Speaker 1: about Darren as a kid. And Okay, anyway, I am
Speaker 1: calling for help because I haven't, you know, made the
Speaker 1: first call before, and so he hasn't reached out to
Speaker 1: you since that. No, I've heard nothing. Maybe he doesn't
Speaker 1: know if you're interested. Did you guys kiss at all?
Speaker 1: We didn't. Maybe you didn't put off the right like
Speaker 1: flirty vibe. And I don't mean that in a bad way.
Speaker 1: You sound like a really flirty person, but you've been
Speaker 1: in a relationship for nine years, you know, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: then need more signals than maybe what you would typically
Speaker 1: give it a nine year relationship. Brooklets guys know she's
Speaker 1: interested by taking her shirt off, and then guys are like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's what we're doing. That was my big mistake. I
Speaker 1: got my clothes on. So now you want to reach
Speaker 1: out to him first, Well, I just want to say, like, hey,
Speaker 1: I hope I didn't let you assume I wasn't interested,
Speaker 1: because I totally am. And I think the most important
Speaker 1: thing in life, the sort of rolling with the punches.
Speaker 1: There should definitely be no punches on a first date.
Speaker 1: That's a bad right, no rolling with the challenges that
Speaker 1: come up, like being branded in a parking lot in
Speaker 1: a park. No, I got you, So you just need
Speaker 1: some assistance on this one. Yes, okay, Well, let's play
Speaker 1: a song. We'll come back, we'll call Darren for you,
Speaker 1: and we'll try and get you your second date. Update. Okay,
Speaker 1: thanks guys. If you're just tuning in for the second
Speaker 1: date update, we're on the phone with Maggie who met
Speaker 1: a guy named Darren at her archery class. Darren, it's
Speaker 1: kind of the anti Robin Hood, horrible at hitting the target,
Speaker 1: but she thought it was kind of cute. He ended
Speaker 1: up asking her out and took her to a park
Speaker 1: where they had a nice little picnic dinner and they
Speaker 1: had a good time there, but at the end of
Speaker 1: the night got a little bit awkward when they locked
Speaker 1: the gates to the park, so Darren had to call
Speaker 1: his dad to come pick the two of them up
Speaker 1: and drive them home Afterwards. Darren has not reached out,
Speaker 1: so Maggie wants to try to contact him first. It's
Speaker 1: a big deal for her because she hasn't dated a lot,
Speaker 1: and so she's never reached out to a guy to
Speaker 1: ask them on a second date before, and that's our
Speaker 1: help doing it now before we actually call him, Maggie,
Speaker 1: how long has it been since that date? About two weeks? Oh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes these can be a little rough. I
Speaker 1: sort of warn you, since this is going to be
Speaker 1: like your first time calling a guy to ask him out.
Speaker 1: If it goes badly and he says something like I
Speaker 1: don't know, he's not attracted to you or something, WHOA,
Speaker 1: I say, like, why would you think that was the
Speaker 1: first thing I've I'm just that's not true, Maggie. I'm
Speaker 1: just setting you up that this is just one try
Speaker 1: out of hundreds that you should get under your belt
Speaker 1: before you you think she should go out with hundreds
Speaker 1: of men. His dad showed up on the date. He's
Speaker 1: the loser. It's not exactly what I wanted to say,
Speaker 1: but you can right, Okayow, your expectations is what Brooke
Speaker 1: is trying to just stay in the game. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, let's stop giving her advice. They I'm excited
Speaker 1: for her, Okay, we're all excited. We're gonna dial Darren's
Speaker 1: phone number, right now you're ready, Maggie, I'm already. Okay,
Speaker 1: here we go. Hello, Hi, I'm looking for Darren. This
Speaker 1: is darn who's this. My name's Jeffrey from the radio
Speaker 1: show Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning and hoping we
Speaker 1: can Hi. Hi. Here, we can take a little bit
Speaker 1: of time out of your day to chat. Um, what's
Speaker 1: this about? This is about a segment we do called
Speaker 1: a second date Update. That's where if you go out
Speaker 1: with someone and afterwards, if that person isn't calling you back,
Speaker 1: you can email our show and we'll reach out to
Speaker 1: them for you to help you figure out the reason why. Um, okay, okay.
Speaker 1: And so recently you went out with a girl who
Speaker 1: says she had a great time with you, but you
Speaker 1: haven't reached out to her since your date. Her name's Maggie.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, we went out. Yeah, and she seems
Speaker 1: like an awesome person. Um, yeah, she's really nice. We
Speaker 1: had a good time, Oh said, what do you what
Speaker 1: do you know about this? Well, we only know what
Speaker 1: Maggie told us about your guys' interaction that you met
Speaker 1: at archery. She said that you planned this very romantic
Speaker 1: picnic dinner in a park and says that she had
Speaker 1: a great time with you. She told us about the
Speaker 1: Chinese lanterns. I mean she was impressed by the effort
Speaker 1: you put in. We were too for real. Oh yeah no, uh,
Speaker 1: we had a good time. Yeah, okay, that's not the
Speaker 1: I mean, if that's the case, then then why wouldn't
Speaker 1: you be reaching out to her one more time? Because
Speaker 1: she says it's been almost two weeks since you guys
Speaker 1: went out. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like everything
Speaker 1: happens for a reason. I mean I've been meaning to
Speaker 1: reach out to her. Actually, Okay, okay, then why don't
Speaker 1: you do it? Yeah, it's just a little awkward. So
Speaker 1: why are you dating somebody else? Well, no, no, that's
Speaker 1: not it at all. So my dad picked us up.
Speaker 1: I don't know if she told you, like, yeah, she
Speaker 1: mentioned that your car got locked in the parking lot,
Speaker 1: so you had to call your dad to come get
Speaker 1: you guys. But she said she didn't mind that. She
Speaker 1: thought he was actually kind of fun. Yeah that's true.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, Like the two of them really
Speaker 1: hit it off. Like he was telling jokes, she was laughing,
Speaker 1: and like, I kind of think my dad's into her
Speaker 1: more than I am like romantically Wait, hold on't like
Speaker 1: my dad where it's like, oh I love her, tell
Speaker 1: me about her, like he couldn't stop talking about her.
Speaker 1: Or you really think your dad is like romantically interested? Well,
Speaker 1: I think he's interested. And also, like, you know, we're
Speaker 1: the same age, and you know, I thought she was
Speaker 1: kind of like acted a lot older, Like I felt
Speaker 1: like she acted ten years older than her age, just
Speaker 1: in her mannerisms and some of the stuff she said.
Speaker 1: So like, I feel like she could probably end up
Speaker 1: hitting it off with my dad more than me. You're
Speaker 1: playing matchmaker for your dadding them off. This is dude,
Speaker 1: She's not interested in your dad. Yeah. So that's why
Speaker 1: you know, I haven't called yet. And it was awkward
Speaker 1: because I didn't really know what to tell her, and
Speaker 1: I was planning on like trying to tell her maybe
Speaker 1: ask if she wants to go out with my dad.
Speaker 1: But oh, dude, I mean, good for you to be
Speaker 1: your dad's wingman. But she really liked you. That's cool,
Speaker 1: But like my dad really likes her. Oh my god, Okay,
Speaker 1: what kind of I mean? I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: want to ask about your dad now. Is he like
Speaker 1: an old type dad, Or is he one of those
Speaker 1: young cool dads. Did he have you when he was twelve? No,
Speaker 1: he's more on the younger side, and I felt like
Speaker 1: she's kind of leans more towards the more mature side.
Speaker 1: So you know, he is recently single, and they just
Speaker 1: hit it off so well in the car, okay, and
Speaker 1: I just was like, maybe this is a match for them.
Speaker 1: I mean, but the thing is is, like she laughed
Speaker 1: at some jokes like that doesn't mean that a woman
Speaker 1: is attracted to someone. It just means that I don't know,
Speaker 1: she's being polite or she thought he was funny. I
Speaker 1: just wonder how Maggie's feeling hearing all of this. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, you know what I mean, Darren, Wait, she's
Speaker 1: hearing all of this. Yeah, because I forgot to tell
Speaker 1: you she's on the other line listening and wants to
Speaker 1: talk to you. Maggie. You there? Oh yeah, I am
Speaker 1: so like that is so weird. Yeah, I'm not in here. Dad.
Speaker 1: Are you sure? Because it seems like you kind of
Speaker 1: were your question. I'm so offended. I really just don't
Speaker 1: want to answer that question to me. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: kind of an opportunity dream, like wa it sounds like
Speaker 1: Maggie doesn't need a sugar daddy. I Maggie, I feel
Speaker 1: like you don't know him enough yet. Like he's a
Speaker 1: really good guy, and I feel like, I mean, I
Speaker 1: had some time to think about it, because it's been
Speaker 1: you know, a few weeks now, and like I could
Speaker 1: kind of see you as my stepmom. Oh you, I
Speaker 1: mean wants to hear that it could be a compliment,
Speaker 1: but I don't think in this situation. No, that's not
Speaker 1: a total slam. You just seem like really cool and
Speaker 1: like almost like nurturing. O. My god, Maggie, Maggie, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you could see you driving him to soccer practice. I
Speaker 1: feel like it could work. Is that crazy? Like I
Speaker 1: don't work. Yes, I just don't understand why. I mean,
Speaker 1: we had a really nice time. It was good. We
Speaker 1: had a rapport, Like I don't understand. No, it was
Speaker 1: really good, but I just like, I just feel like
Speaker 1: you need an older dude, and my dad's recently available.
Speaker 1: He just got divorced like six months ago. From my mom. Oh, well,
Speaker 1: your family moves on quick. Okay, I need to I
Speaker 1: need to go. I need to go. This is just
Speaker 1: too much. I was hoping this is gonna work out, though,
Speaker 1: I mean what I was hoping, well, I was hoping
Speaker 1: it would work out with you. Yeah. Yeah, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be around like I live with him, so like
Speaker 1: we'll hang out. You're being Arre's gonna be in the
Speaker 1: high chair. Okay, Okay, okay, I'm gonna go right ahead
Speaker 1: and say I think I dodged a bullet, Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: big with the dad. Oh my god, Jeffrey, do not
Speaker 1: add insult to injury. So I haven't heard any insults.
Speaker 1: I've just heard glowing reviews about Maggie, both from Darren
Speaker 1: and from Darren's dad. God. No, Maggie, you're a young,
Speaker 1: vibrant woman who deserves a man your age if that's
Speaker 1: what you want. Yeah, he's really good at lawn bowling,
Speaker 1: if you guys want to do that together. At that
Speaker 1: Darren's already planning your date. So why don't we just
Speaker 1: ask Maggie. Well, and actually I'm supposed to ask Darren,
Speaker 1: but maybe I should ask Maggie, Maggie, would you like
Speaker 1: to go out on a date with Darren's dad? No,
Speaker 1: thank you? Or Darren's dad. Oh yeah, that's who we
Speaker 1: feel bad for out there. You might want to reconsider
Speaker 1: Broke and Jeffrey in the morning,
