Speaker 1: Need Lasic, trust the experienced team at the leasing center
Speaker 1: at Evergreen Eye Center. No glasses, no contacts, no limits.
Speaker 1: What will you do Lasik at Evergreen dot com Rooking
Speaker 1: Jewels second dat day. You know, the saying goes, after
Speaker 1: you just got out of a relationship, you gotta jump
Speaker 1: right back on that horse, or you gotta let the
Speaker 1: horse jump back on you. However it works, And that
Speaker 1: is what Mark tried to do on his date. He
Speaker 1: tried to let the horse jump back on him. Right, Mark,
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means that you wanted to
Speaker 1: get back in the dating scene. Okay, Mark said that
Speaker 1: he wants to call this girl name Alison today. Apparently
Speaker 1: Mark met her and they went out on a date
Speaker 1: recently got out of a long relationship. That's what your
Speaker 1: email said, right, Yeah, that's right, okay, And tell us
Speaker 1: a little bit about Alice and the girl that you
Speaker 1: want us to call today. She works in my building,
Speaker 1: not in my office, but in my building. And my
Speaker 1: friends were trying to get me back in the game,
Speaker 1: and and they hooked me up with her. And so
Speaker 1: you just work in the big business park. How'd you
Speaker 1: approach her? A bunch of people from the building went
Speaker 1: to lunch together and she was in that group and
Speaker 1: sort of hit it off. There was it like a
Speaker 1: set up where your friends were like, Okay, we're all
Speaker 1: gonna go to lunch, We're gonna invite her. No, I
Speaker 1: wasn't set up for me to meet her. She was
Speaker 1: just there and I made the move, all right, And
Speaker 1: I made my move. So tell us a little bit
Speaker 1: about your date. What did you guys do? We actually
Speaker 1: went ice skating. Oh that's so dude. I always wanted
Speaker 1: to do that for a date and my husband will
Speaker 1: never take me. Maybe Mark, you know, if this doesn't
Speaker 1: work out for you, Mark, you can get a date
Speaker 1: with Brooke. I guess. Yeah, you went ice skating. How'd
Speaker 1: that go? It was awesome. I only fell twice and
Speaker 1: we hit it off, and like, we talked about how
Speaker 1: we both wanted to leave our jobs in the same building.
Speaker 1: All right, so you both said you both bonded over
Speaker 1: the hatred of your job. How'd your date end? Then?
Speaker 1: After ice skating, we got some hot chocolate and you're adorable.
Speaker 1: Nice and then I walked her to her car and
Speaker 1: we kissed and it was really nice, really nice date,
Speaker 1: really good way to get back in it, you actually kissed,
Speaker 1: and since then she hasn't called you. Well, we have
Speaker 1: plans to go out again on a Saturday the next day,
Speaker 1: and then Saturday rolls around and she says, oh, can
Speaker 1: we push it to the next day. I said okay.
Speaker 1: And then after that, the next day comes and she's like, oh,
Speaker 1: can we push it to next week? And I'm like
Speaker 1: that sucks? So Mark, I'm just wondering what could have
Speaker 1: gone wrong? Like you mentioned that you just gotta out
Speaker 1: of a relationship. Did you happen to talk about your
Speaker 1: X on the date? I specifically avoided that topic. That's good.
Speaker 1: A lot of people wouldn't do that. They would have
Speaker 1: taken her ice skating. We're like, oh, man, Jessica used
Speaker 1: like ice skating a lot. I missed ice skating with her.
Speaker 1: You know, no, no, no, I've listened to your second
Speaker 1: dates a lot, so I know that's the wrong move.
Speaker 1: Like the second dates are actually helping people learn how
Speaker 1: to date. So if everything went right, ice skating was cool,
Speaker 1: you kissed at the end of the date, why do
Speaker 1: you think she's blowing you off? Now? I've been racking
Speaker 1: my brains and I have no idea because it went really, well,
Speaker 1: have you run into her in the building? Now she
Speaker 1: works in a separate part of the building, so I
Speaker 1: never really saw her in the first place. All right, okay, Well,
Speaker 1: we'll play a song, comeback, call her and get your
Speaker 1: second date update. Okay. Well, I have one more thing though.
Speaker 1: It's the texts are really polite, and they're pushing this
Speaker 1: date that is theoretically going to happen. So it's long
Speaker 1: a she's like blowing me off. She just politely keeps moving.
Speaker 1: So that's why it's so confusing, because it's not just hey,
Speaker 1: I can't do it today, Yeah, exactly. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: we'll call her get your second day update right after this. Okay,
Speaker 1: but there's one more thing I have to tell you.
Speaker 1: What is it? Mark? I really appreciate you taking my call.
Speaker 1: You're welcome. Is there before I throw it to the song?
Speaker 1: Is there anything else that you want to say before
Speaker 1: we go? Um? No, we're good. All right, play a song,
Speaker 1: come back and get your second date update. Hang on
Speaker 1: the phone, all right, brooking jubil in the morning, sudate.
Speaker 1: All Right, Mark is on the phone with us. He
Speaker 1: emailed us about a girl named Alison they met through
Speaker 1: friends at work, They went out ice skating, had some cocoa,
Speaker 1: kissed at the end of the date. Really nice date.
Speaker 1: Can't really find a reason why she wouldn't want to
Speaker 1: go out with him again, and she's been blowing him
Speaker 1: off rescheduling in a very nice way, so he's not
Speaker 1: even really sure if she actually doesn't want to see
Speaker 1: him again, or if for some reason she just really
Speaker 1: is rescheduling. We're about to call it right now, but Mark,
Speaker 1: before we get her on the phone. You know you
Speaker 1: got out of a long relationship. You told us, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. Do you feel like this girl could be
Speaker 1: your next girlfriend? I mean I probably. I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: pushing it if I didn't think like we had something, Okay,
Speaker 1: so turn into something? So there's something there then yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and you're ready for another relationship? Um yeah, I think well,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I'm just curious if you really like
Speaker 1: this girl, like and you thought maybe you saw a
Speaker 1: future with her, or if you just thought that you
Speaker 1: wanted to go out on another date, because I mean,
Speaker 1: I definitely think there's potential there for to turn into
Speaker 1: something more. They're just really curious. I don't get it.
Speaker 1: I don't get why sheeps putting it off. Okay, well
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it right now. See we can get
Speaker 1: on the phone and then get your second date up date. Okay, cool,
Speaker 1: here we go. Hello, Hi, can I speak to Alison please?
Speaker 1: This is Alison. Hey Alison, how are you? This is
Speaker 1: Jewel from Brook and Jewel in the Morning, the radio show. Yes,
Speaker 1: how you doing fine? I'm calling you actually because you
Speaker 1: recently went out on a date with a listener of
Speaker 1: our show. It then Yeah, his name is Mark. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well apparently you've been blowing him off for a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks since your date, and he asked us to
Speaker 1: call on see if we could find out why. He
Speaker 1: said I was blowing him off. He said, he's been
Speaker 1: trying to go out with you ever since your date,
Speaker 1: and you keep like postponing it. Yeah, but I'm not
Speaker 1: blowing him off. I genuinely just needed to postpone it. Okay,
Speaker 1: Should I tell him that You're actually going to go
Speaker 1: out with him one of these days? Yeah? Absolutely? What
Speaker 1: are you waiting for? Well, I mean, this is just
Speaker 1: it's important and I want to make sure that, like,
Speaker 1: I'm totally there for it. So I just needed to
Speaker 1: have the right time. Are you trying to end another relationship? No, no,
Speaker 1: definitely not. No, I'm single. Okay, Well Mark wants to know,
Speaker 1: because that's why you emailed us, because you know how
Speaker 1: it is if you go out with someone and they keep,
Speaker 1: you know, going, oh hey, I can't go out this week,
Speaker 1: maybe next week, and then they keep doing that. At
Speaker 1: a certain point, you feel like they don't like you.
Speaker 1: I never meant to do that, like, that was not
Speaker 1: my intention at all. No, I just I just needed
Speaker 1: more time. Okay, Because he's starting to get that vibe
Speaker 1: from you that you don't want to go out with him.
Speaker 1: What can I tell him? Then? Can you just tell
Speaker 1: him that I just needed a couple extra days just
Speaker 1: to just to kind of get some things together. That
Speaker 1: sounds so sketchy, though, Allison, but it's not really. It
Speaker 1: really isn't sketchy. I just I just needed a couple
Speaker 1: more days. I promise. I really do like him. Are
Speaker 1: you just like out of time, like you don't have
Speaker 1: enough time in your day and your job's really demanding
Speaker 1: or I kind of would rather not tell you, guys,
Speaker 1: because I think it might sound crazy and I would
Speaker 1: really not want to come off like a crazy person
Speaker 1: that makes me want to know even more what it is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, like you're you're going to get a boob
Speaker 1: job or something and you need to get that finished. No,
Speaker 1: not at all. I just feel like this could be
Speaker 1: the most important second day of my life and I've
Speaker 1: really rather not ruined the surprise. WHOA you like him
Speaker 1: that much? Wow? I do? I mean, I just I've
Speaker 1: been working on this picture book for him for the
Speaker 1: last I don't know, a couple of months, and I
Speaker 1: just want to make sure that it's because Saton, it's
Speaker 1: just not ready yet to get to him, and so
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to finish it. You say you've been
Speaker 1: working on a picture book? Yeah, have you what I mean?
Speaker 1: I've been working on collecting some photos of the last
Speaker 1: like year or so of I guess, like of me
Speaker 1: liking him and like Alison, I guess I'm I'm I'm confused.
Speaker 1: You guys went on that one date? Yeah? Had you
Speaker 1: known each other beforehand? Because when we talked to him,
Speaker 1: he says that he knew you worked in the same
Speaker 1: building and you met like at a lunch. Yeah, in
Speaker 1: terms of like dating, But I've known of him for
Speaker 1: about a year. And a half or so. One of
Speaker 1: my girlfriends at work pointed him out to me, and
Speaker 1: we were with two totally separate groups. But I've met
Speaker 1: and I just knew it was perfect, like it was
Speaker 1: we were going to date, so I just had to
Speaker 1: wait it out. So are the pictures? So what I
Speaker 1: don't I guess I don't understand exactly what you're building.
Speaker 1: You said a picture book, but what is the picture
Speaker 1: book of collages or something? Like who we were before
Speaker 1: we started dating? So like I went to a high
Speaker 1: school and I got his high school yearbook photo who
Speaker 1: had that in it? And I recently died my hair blonde,
Speaker 1: so I have like the before and after photo, like,
Speaker 1: so like who we were before we got together. How
Speaker 1: you're planning on giving him this on your second date? Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I mean I think he's really appreciated. I think
Speaker 1: he'd really love it. We don't have girlfriends to tell
Speaker 1: you that this is like crazy. This isn't crazy. It's
Speaker 1: like a book of my feelings and all of like
Speaker 1: all of what we were before we're going to be together.
Speaker 1: And it's you know, like I know how much she
Speaker 1: liked blondes, and the fact that I went and died
Speaker 1: my hair blonde. She's just going to appreciate it. Alison.
Speaker 1: You know where you're right, Alison. Married, we're gonna have
Speaker 1: this like shown at the wedding was like what our
Speaker 1: minds were like before we were together. Alison. You know
Speaker 1: what if somebody had done that for me on a
Speaker 1: second date, I would think that that was so sweet.
Speaker 1: You are such a no I would think that. You know,
Speaker 1: it'd be nice if somebody went to all that work
Speaker 1: for me, give me a picture book of things for
Speaker 1: the last year. Yeah, I see. No, I just wanted
Speaker 1: it to be sweet like and that's why I can't
Speaker 1: see him yet. It's okay, I'm not ready, all right, Allison,
Speaker 1: Well then I will. I will tell him to just
Speaker 1: hold tight and you will eventually go out with him.
Speaker 1: That's what that's sets the message you want me to
Speaker 1: pass along, That's exactly it. Thank you, you're welcome, Allison.
Speaker 1: I also need to let you know that Mark is
Speaker 1: on the other line and just heard that. Mark. Yeah,
Speaker 1: say hi to Allison. Gosh, Allison, M what's going on?
Speaker 1: You've been collecting pictures of me? Allison? Um? Mark, it
Speaker 1: wasn't that you weren't supposed to find out about it
Speaker 1: this way, Like, I have this beautiful book that I've
Speaker 1: just been working on and I just wanted you to
Speaker 1: see it. And I haven't been blowing you off, I swear.
Speaker 1: So you've been working on this since way before we
Speaker 1: even met. I mean yeah, because you were in a relationship,
Speaker 1: and so I knew that we couldn't be together. I'm
Speaker 1: not kind of girl like, of course I was going
Speaker 1: to wait until you were single. How did you even
Speaker 1: know I was in a relationship. I mean, like we
Speaker 1: have mutual friends and at work, and so I just,
Speaker 1: you know, I knew, I knew some things about you.
Speaker 1: You've been like talking me for the past year. No
Speaker 1: oh no, no, no, no, I'm not I'm not that
Speaker 1: kind of crazy person. I'm not a stalker at all,
Speaker 1: a crazy person. You knew what our life was like before,
Speaker 1: and it was documented. Alison, this is creepy. It's not,
Speaker 1: it's not at all. Like it's really just meant to
Speaker 1: be sweet and endearing, and I mean, you're really gonna
Speaker 1: love it when you see it, I promise. I feel unsafe.
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody blames you for that, Alison. I
Speaker 1: think you've officially scared Mark a little bit because of you,
Speaker 1: because it wasn't supposed to be like that. She was
Speaker 1: supposed to see it on our date, and now you
Speaker 1: ruined it. And everybody knows that I was supposed to
Speaker 1: show him this book and he was supposed to just
Speaker 1: be so happy to see it. Yeah, Alison, you know what.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry up for you for the apology, but that
Speaker 1: doesn't change anything. Alison. In your mind, how was this
Speaker 1: going to play out exactly? He was gonna fall in
Speaker 1: love with you after you gave him a book? Do
Speaker 1: you think you are that is exactly what it's supposed
Speaker 1: to happen? Oh, honey, don't know? Honey, mean you know
Speaker 1: this was a genius plan and you're just upset because
Speaker 1: you didn't think about it. Oh my god, there's so
Speaker 1: many things wrong with this guy. How dare you spoil this?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Hey, hey, Allison, you made me look
Speaker 1: and everything. Allison. I know that you're upset, but I
Speaker 1: haven't even asked if Mark will go out with you again,
Speaker 1: like the whole thing might not be ruined. Mark, would
Speaker 1: you like to go out with Allison again on a
Speaker 1: second day? We'll pay for it. No, it's because of you. Yes,
Speaker 1: you did that. I'm sorry. I apologize Alison. I think
Speaker 1: Allison's gone, Oh my gosh, I'm scared for my safety.
Speaker 1: And Mark, I think you might need to find a
Speaker 1: new job and a new town. I think Coley, you
Speaker 1: guys might have literally saved my wife. The morning text
Speaker 1: message in at seven eighty five to nine two that says,
Speaker 1: I was super creeped out. If I was that guy,
Speaker 1: I'd run fast. Yes, broken Jewil in the morning if
Speaker 1: you missed today's second date update. Mark wanted to call Alison,
Speaker 1: and when we got her on the phone, we found
Speaker 1: out the reason she wasn't calling back was because she
Speaker 1: wasn't ready to hang out with Mark yet, because she
Speaker 1: was collecting photos of him so she could make an
Speaker 1: album about how they were when they meant, oh my god,
Speaker 1: and yeah it is weird and creepy and he was
Speaker 1: creeped out by it. But then she blamed all of
Speaker 1: us for ruining everything. Actually I feel kinda weird. Actually
Speaker 1: she needed to learn that lesson. Someone in her life
Speaker 1: needs to talk to her, someone in her life needs
Speaker 1: to hug her. They need to hug her and say,
Speaker 1: don't start making a photo lage album of a dude
Speaker 1: you went on one day with because it will probably
Speaker 1: creep him out, like a will scrap book like my
Speaker 1: grandma's scrap books everything, And that's weird. You know, it
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense of a grandma's not being so clean.
Speaker 1: All right, you pictures of me? What the hell? Grandparents? Parents?
Speaker 1: They are so clean and like, why are you watching me? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't give you any approval to take those pictures
Speaker 1: when I was younger. And I'm thinking about calling the authority. Remember,
Speaker 1: if you want to do a second day up, they
Speaker 1: don't have to do his email the show and we
Speaker 1: will call the person who didn't call you back. I
Speaker 1: need another hour of se
