Speaker 2: to hear back.
Speaker 4: Did he tell you that he was going to hit
Speaker 4: you up after the date?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had, We had planned for a whole date
Speaker 2: and everything.

Speaker 3: it's been radio silence.
Speaker 1: Okay, stupid.
Speaker 2: It makes me feel so stupid.
Speaker 1: Stupid. Yeah, that's not your fault. That happened, you know,
Speaker 1: Unfortunately it happens. But we can figure out why. We
Speaker 1: don't know. It's your.
Speaker 3: Date well, so we actually met at a mutual friend's
Speaker 3: birthday party and just from that, like that wasn't our
Speaker 3: first date.
Speaker 2: But that whole night, I mean I spent the entire
Speaker 2: night talking to him.
Speaker 3: I barely even said happy birthday to my friend, but
Speaker 3: we were just in the kitchen like making stupid jokes
Speaker 3: and that kind of led to us talking the entire
Speaker 3: night and I just had a really great time since then,
Speaker 3: and I haven't really felt that in a long time.
Speaker 3: And so we we planned a date and then we
Speaker 3: got Ramen and we walked around the park and it
Speaker 3: was like exactly like the moment that we met, it
Speaker 3: was just like just I don't know, Sparks, I guess,
Speaker 3: I know it sounds so that. I mean, we were
Speaker 3: just laughing. Is that they I don't know. It's like
Speaker 3: I felt like immediately I could be so silly and
Speaker 3: stupid with him, and everything felt very comfortable and natural.
Speaker 2: Right from the start.
Speaker 3: I don't know, It's like, I mean, he's just really
Speaker 3: I mean, he's also very cute, Like that doesn't hurt,
Speaker 3: you know, but it's not even about like looks or anything.
Speaker 3: It was just this feeling of comfort and being silly
Speaker 3: and I'm such a silly, stupid person, and I love
Speaker 3: being silly and stupid. And I feel like so often
Speaker 3: when I'm talking to guys, it's like they're I don't know,
Speaker 3: they're expecting me to be a certain way.
Speaker 2: And I didn't feel like that with Jake at all.
Speaker 3: And he's very funny too, and I was the one
Speaker 3: that makes me laugh, and I'm just I was laughing
Speaker 3: so much. I was just laughing whole time. I mean,
Speaker 3: by the end of the first date, we already have
Speaker 3: so many inside jokes. And you know when you find that,
Speaker 3: I'm just like, I don't get that often.
Speaker 4: No, totally, But what do you think could have gone wrong?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 3: So I do think it is my fault, actually, and
Speaker 3: I feel like it's the I mean, I'm a clumsy person,
Speaker 3: but this is like the worst thing that I've ever done.
Speaker 3: I think it's very embarrassing. So you know that, you know,
Speaker 3: when you like check in with your best friend in
Speaker 3: the middle of the day and you just give them
Speaker 3: like the you know, the text, it's like okay, uh,
Speaker 3: we're your vibes are.
Speaker 2: Good or whatever.
Speaker 3: Whatever. So so actually, I, uh, I did send that
Speaker 3: text to him instead of let me, just read it
Speaker 3: to you. Okay, so he said, I said, he's cute,
Speaker 3: but if he says vibes on ironically one more time,
Speaker 3: I might combust.
Speaker 5: Of a joke.
Speaker 2: It was kind of a joke because it.
Speaker 3: Was actually I was going to tell her later that
Speaker 3: that was actually like an inside joke between me and
Speaker 3: Jake that we were because we were talking like we were.
Speaker 2: Being like bros and I don't know, we were.
Speaker 3: Just pretending to be bros and doing all this stuff,
Speaker 3: and so it was kind of a funny thing to
Speaker 3: me that I was just going to tell her about
Speaker 3: later and then uh, yeah, I spent that to him,
Speaker 3: and then reading it back, I'm like, oh, that actually
Speaker 3: sounds like I actually am making a dig at him
Speaker 3: or something, and that's not all what it was. Oh
Speaker 3: my god.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so I sent that to him.
Speaker 1: What did he say when he got it? Like did
Speaker 1: he call you out? Like did you just make a message?
Speaker 1: Or I didn't know.
Speaker 3: I he didn't see it because like I sent it
Speaker 3: while we were still on a date, and so I mean,
Speaker 3: he's such a sweetheart, Like he didn't even look at
Speaker 3: his phone the entire date, so he didn't even see
Speaker 3: it until after we had already parted ways and I
Speaker 3: don't know like to date. I did so well, we
Speaker 3: kissed and we yeah, we made that planned to meet again.
Speaker 3: And then after after the date, that's when I saw
Speaker 3: that I had.
Speaker 1: I'd be freaking now too. Well, oh no, we'll see
Speaker 1: if that is the reason. We'll play a song come
Speaker 1: back and then call him and see if I'll tell
Speaker 1: us why he's ghosting you and maybe get you a
Speaker 1: second date. Okay, thank you, gird All right, your first
Speaker 1: day follow up is next. Right in the middle of
Speaker 1: your first day follow up, and if you're just joining us,
Speaker 1: Taylor is on the phone and she's getting ghosted by
Speaker 1: a guy named Jake. So we're about to call him
Speaker 1: and see if I tell us why he's ghosting her
Speaker 1: and maybe get her a second date. But first, Taylor,
Speaker 1: why don't you recap your situation for us real quick?

Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, six days ago, I went on a date
Speaker 3: with a really cute guy that I really like a lot,
Speaker 3: and he made me laugh so much, which never happens.
Speaker 3: But during the date, I had sent a text that
Speaker 3: I meant to send to my best friend. I accidentally
Speaker 3: sent that to him and the text may have seemed
Speaker 3: like a dig at him, and it was supposed to
Speaker 3: be a joke and he wasn't ever supposed to see it.

Speaker 5: you because virtual reality pong anything.
Speaker 4: Who all of you guys hit it off like you
Speaker 4: think you did. I don't know that she'd think it
