1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,359
Speaker 1: It is time for a second date. Update to any

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: single parents listen to this. Let me bring in Alex. So.

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: Alex is in Norwalk. He met someone at a kid's

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: birthday party. She's a single mom, he's a single dad.

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: They really connected, but she's been difficult to lock down

6
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: for a date. Alex, thanks for coming on. I appreciate it.

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: Do you find it is it difficult to find a

8
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: connection with somebody as a single parent? Yeah, like you

9
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: want to find someone who has the priorities straight and

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: where has the same values as you, And definitely when

11
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: you have a kid, that gets kind of complicated. So

12
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: why do you think everything was working in person and

13
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: now she doesn't want to lock down a date. Like

14
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 1: it was just kind of a vibe thing, Like as

15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: soon as we started talking, Like I liked how she

16
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: responded to the things I was saying. You know, we

17
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: were laughing, we were having a good time. I could

18
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: tell there's just a really flirty energy, and like she

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: seemed excited when I asked from the date. But ever since,

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: it's just been basically impossible to lock down an actual

21
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,199
Speaker 1: date and get something going right. I mean, she's probably

22
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,919
Speaker 1: busy and maybe he's got cold feet, just got nervous

23
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: about it. Sometimes you know you're in person, then you

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: think to yourself, I can't really follow through. I I

25
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: enjoyed that moment. I'll let it go. I mean, you know,

26
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: I I thought there was something there. It just it

27
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: seemed like it was real and it would be a

28
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: shame if nothing came about it. We've got Kate here

29
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: on the line, the woman you went out with. She's

30
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: a single mom. They met at a birthday party for

31
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: kids and said they go out. But she hasn't responded yet.

32
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: So Alex, be very quiet. Let me see what I

33
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: can find out. Okay, thank you, Ryan, Hi, Kate, Ryan

38
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: we're calling you about a man you met named Alex

39
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: at a birthday party. Oh that your memory? Um? Yeah, yes, yes,

00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: was perfectly lovely. Now, did you guys make plans No,

46
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: I mean like future plans, like to go out to

47
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: bang out to connect. I mean I gave him my number,

48
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: you know. Uh he was, he was, he was very lovely.

49
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: Like I said, we haven't. We haven't made any plans though.

50
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: So so he's very nice. He was a really nice guy,

51
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: very sweet. Do you want to make plans with him?

52
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: I know it's hard to meet somebody as a single parent. Yeah,

53
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: I mean it definitely is it definitely is um uh

54
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: you know again, he was. He was very funny, he

55
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: was super charming, he was very hands some I there

56
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: was there was there was kind of a red flag.

57
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: So I know what was the red flag? Okay, So again,

58
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 1: so we're single parents, you know, doing the best we can. Um.

59
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: But you know, his kid, um, she seemed a little

60
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: bit I mean like I sort of yeah, like she

61
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 1: was pulling another child at the birthday party. Yeah, and

62
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: just sort of being very not polite, you know, grabbing

63
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: things stuff like that, and it turned you off. Yeah,

64
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: I mean that's like, yeah, honestly, that is a big

65
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: turn off. The behavior but it's reflective of your parenting

66
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: skills a little bit, and there's not so much that

67
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: you can do as the other adult because you can't

68
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: really intervene. It's not your kid, Okay, Kate. At the

69
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: risk of a very awkward moment, I just want you

70
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: to know that Alex is on the line. Alex, do

71
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: you want to respond to that? Yeah, I mean she's

72
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: a kid, she's she's still learning. That's really why you

73
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: don't want to go on a date. Well, let's get defensive.

74
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: I mean I think she's just saying, well, okay, what

75
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: are you saying? Listen, I totally get it. I get it.

76
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm a mom. I understand it. And listen, I'm not

77
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: asking you to make excuses for your daughter. Okay, So,

78
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: like this isn't it's not it's not her problem. It's

79
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: it's a nee problem. It's what I saw. So unfortunately

80
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 1: for me, that is a problem. So you know who knows? Like,

81
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure your daughter is very sweet and maybe I

82
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: just saw her at a bad moment. It's just do

83
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: you think there's an opportunity here or you want to pass. Look,

84
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to be very nice about this, Like

85
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: I have a lot going on, and I'm going through

86
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: a separation, and honestly, I just I don't I don't

87
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: know if I'm ready to take on more of the same.

88
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: And that's just sort of the bottom line. Well, I

89
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: don't see why it needs to be a deal breaker.

90
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we could. I understand you've got

91
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: things going on. I've got things going on, but like, no,

92
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: we could try. You know what, how how is it

93
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: going to hurt to just, you know, give it a shot.

94
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: That's get you know, you're totally very sweet. We had

95
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: a great conversation. Honestly, I just I didn't really think

96
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: I'd have to have a conversation about this on the radio. Okay,

97
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: at least we're here now and we've got clarity. So Alex,

98
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: I think that this ship is sailed for whatever reason

99
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: the universe. And Kate, thank you very much for coming

100
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:32,119
Speaker 1: on with us. Well, thank you, I mean, he says,

101
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: He says, he doesn't see why it's a deal breaker.

102
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: But it is a deal breaker, and it happened for

103
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: some reason. Right but interesting though, right like the behavior

104
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: of the child there reflective of her interest in him,

105
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: even though she was interested in him until then. But

106
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: it was his response to that really bothered me. Why

107
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: he was defensive. He was insane defensive. You know. It

108
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: was like he as a parent, if somebody told me

109
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: that my kid was acting up and being really thank you,

110
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: I would be like, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.

111
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: I will make sure and try to figure out what happened.

112
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: Like that's a good point, Like I didn't like how

113
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: we handled that situation already. I just don't like dating,

114
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: so regardless's never fun.
