Second, if a date doesn't go quite according to plan, could be a bad thing, but could be a good thing too. Like one time, my plan going into the night was to pay the entire dinner bill, but forgot my wallet instead had to pivot, dined and dashed, ended up getting the whole meal for free. That turned out to be a good thing, and you found out your date was a really good runner exactly. You know, athletic

athletic plans turns out to be good. And that was the case for one of our listeners, Megan, whose night got derailed in a good way and now she's needing our help. What's up, Megan? How you doing? Hey? You doing all right? A guy? We like people who can turn you know, lemons into lemonade, despite Jeffrey's whole situation. But yeah, as long as you make some vodka in the lead, right, Yeah, So tell us about the guy

that you want us to call. What's his name? His name is Curtis, And where'd you meet him that we always needed to know? Well, we met online. Honestly, that's the first first date but I've had since I broke up with my long time relationship about Oh, we'll love our a month ago. Oh okay, this is your rebound, you're getting back out there that. Yeah. I was straight up with him about this my first first date since I've been out there and it's been a long time.

And so what we did is we made a plan. Okay, okay, So he was okay with that. He was like, let's plan everything out so you're not super nervous. That's a good idea. What was the plan? The plan was just to kind of go and see. But he turned up to be a really really great guy. Go good. So what did you guys do? We decided we're gonna go to the bar, gonna have a couple of drinks, gonna go to a movie, and just kind of hang out. So you went to a theater. It wasn't like a

Netflix and chill situation. Well no, because after we had the drinks at the bar, we were like, you know what, we just want to continue talking and you can't do that at a movie theater. So we just stayed there. So canceled the plan to go to the theater, just stay and get more drunk at the bar. I like that idea. That's a good plan. Beat, it's a better date, to be honest, yeah. I mean it must have been

going pretty well. Oh it's going great. I mean we got kind of tipsy, and I came back from the restroom and I told him, Carnis, you've got to see this picture that they've got in the restroom, oh, the ladies room. So he was like, he was like what, And I was like, come on, I will watch to make sure no one comes in you, but you've got to see this thing as hilarious. You know that he thinks something else is going to happen in the bathroom with you too, right, Maybe he's just like a restroom

art connoisseur. That's just his big passion. So he said okay, like really reluctantly. So he was right. It was a trap. I pulled him into the handicap stall and I started to make out with him. You are delighted with yourself. Look at you. That's fine. It's good for you. I mean, you're having fun. I mean was he into that? Oh yeah? I mean it only lasted a couple of minutes because he was like, look, we're in the ladies or let's get out of here. Oh couple minutes, that's my record.

So I think we had a good time. How the day end? I mean, you're you're making out, you go back to your table and then what, well, you know, we weren't at a table when we were at the bar. Oh okay, And I mean the bartender was really nice, and I guess I might have been a little flirty with him. With the bartender two, you're like, hey, bartender, there's a picture in the bathroom that you have to I mean I wasn't that flirty? Okay, what type of flirty then? I mean just chit chatty and smiling and

you know, talking Okay, how you talk to bartenders? Yeah, okay, But you felt like there was something more there. I mean, honestly, it could just be that Curtis is like, oh, okay, she's just coming back into her own after being out of a relationship. You know, good for her. But I just am not I'm looking for something more serious. I mean, did he ever talk to you about that? You know, we never really got into that. We were just kind of like, hey, this is going to be a casual,

fun vibe, and we never really talked about anything serious. Okay, that's good, casual fun. It's always good. Yeah. I mean, no matter who you're with, I mean maybe you gave off that vibe where that's all you were looking for that night was just like a casual, fun night and didn't want to see him again. Yeah, and that's kind of how I went into the night. But you know, after talking with him and after the little makeout session, he is so he hasn't texted or called or anything.

Have you reached out to him? No, I mean I've reached out to him several times, but he hasn't chexted back or anything. And I just don't know if I moved too fast or thanks. Maybe it was a flirting with the bartender. I don't know. Yeah, I mean it could be that, it could be something else. It could be that Curtis was with the bartender that night too. You moved in on his man. Oh, I really don't think so. Well, He's like, look, she's a liar. There's no art in their own. Let's not close the door

to any possibilities. We're gonna play a song, we'll come back, we'll call Curtis, and we'll find out why he's not calling you anymore when we do your second date update. All right, okay, all right, hold on. It's another classic modern dating tale of girl meets boy. Girl lies to boy about a picture in the woman's bathroom, Girl makes out with boy in the handicapped stall. Suddenly girl not getting a call back from boy. We've seen it a

million times. Come on, seriously, now it's the million and one time because it's happened to one of our listeners, Megan, after she went out with a guy named Curtis and now he's ghosting. Have you ever thought that maybe he's a rule follower and it was morally corrupt for him to use the handicap stall. Oh, that's a good point, you know, not bother you, Brooke. I mean, if you're going to pick a stall, let's just stand on the

toilet of the regular stall. There was just a line in wheelchairs outside of the stall waiting to get it. That would be my luck, though, Jeffrey, is that what happened Megan? No, not at all. But I don't know if that was his issue, it might have been okay, Actually be happy if that was it. If he was that good of a guy, let him go. I mean, here's the thing, Megan. If this doesn't work out, you

are fresh out of a big relationship. We will find you somebody else on the text board or something, you know, and you got a bathroom trick that works, so yeah, score, Or you could just fall back into that old relationship again, Jeffrey, it's just a backup. That is a cycle. I just want to see if you know, it's maybe something stupid I did or what I really want to try and make this work. He's pretty great. Okay, Well let's find out. We're going to dial his number right now, try and

get your second date update? You ready? Ready? Okay, here we go. Hello. Hey, I'm looking for Curtis. This is Curtis. Hey, Curtis, how you doing? Man? My name is Jeff from the radio show Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. No way, Oh my gosh, you listen. Okay, see Jeffrey, somebody recognized you. You listen to the show. Uh no, but I know somebody who does. Okay, I kind of that's also, jeff That's cool. Thank them. Well, we're doing a segment on our show called a second date Update. Yeah I figured

that too. Oh oh are you sure you figured? Megan messaged me that this was going to be happening, So she warned you that we were going to call I don't know if she knew for sure that I saw her message, but yeah, she said this is something that she might try to do to contact me. Are you saying like she messaged you like five minutes ago right before we called her. This was days ago that she warned you this might happen. It's more like, when isn't

she messaging me? Oh? Wait a minute, she didn't say that. She said she had texted you a couple of times and hadn't heard back after your guys's date at the bar. No, no, that was happening. How many How many texts are we talking? I'm gonna say around three hundred? Wow, Oh that's it. Okay, I was worried for a second. It's only three is there to say? Three times? How have you not blocked her? I mean honestly, well, there's really no point, as you can see, like she's gonna try to contact me by

any means. All right, Well, before we talk about why this is happening, let's just refocus on the date for a second, because Curtis, we spoke with Megan, and from her perspective, she said it went really well. She seemed so normal. Yeah. No, that part of it is pretty true. Actually it did go pretty well. So when you ended the date, right, she said, you guys took to Uber's home. Did you have plans to call her and go out again? Yeah? No at that point. Yeah, I had a lot of fun.

I would have loved to go out again for sure. What happened, Yeah, why did she send you so many texts? I don't know. So what happened is I went home, I took a shower, came out of the shower, and there was about four text from her, and then so I responded, yeah, you had a great night, thanks, And so I went to bed. When you're just done with the dates, sometimes it is like, hey, I had a lot of fun. Sorry if I'm talking too much, not horrible. Did you not respond to those initial four text he said,

he did? He did, Yeah I did. I said, yeah, I had a lot of fun, and yeah, hopefully we can do it again, okay. And then and then you woke up the next morning, you went to bed, you woke up the next morning, then what Then there was about another twenty text messages saying what just saying what a good time she had, and then sorry for messaging you so late. I hope you can get this, hope things like that. It sounds like she doesn't know how

to put the phone down. Yeah, it sounds like she really likes you though doesn't or she just an obsessive person that means really like someone's healthy. Yeah. So when I quit responding, it kind of made the snowball effect. The twenty messages became sixty messages, which became two hundred messages. It just got a real crazy, real quick oh stressed,

and you just never told her anything after that. You just let it snowball and continue to this point, I couldn't keep up with one to pick which one to respond to. So no, man, you have such a good attitude about this right now I would be freaked out. I'm so glad we're not doing textual healing right now. That's where people through via text message, Curtis, if you

don't listen. So yeah, wow, this one's much easier because instead of going with text, we just have the person jump on the phone and let you know that they've been on the other line listening this entire time and want to talk to you. Much less messy. Knew this, Yeah sorry, Curtis. Yeah, yeah, I figured this was going to happen too, honestly, Okay, okay, Megan, did you warn him that this that you were waiting on the other line this whole time? Did you text him during this conversation? No?

I didn't. But I'm really surprised. I think I think you mean embarrassed, And that's okay. What's surprising, honest Like, what are you doing? No? I mean we we were just like chit chatting and stuff, and I was just trying to keep the conversation going. I don't know why it seems so weird about it. I mean, there's definitely the hit happening on your end. I don't know if the chat has happened to Look, I'll defend you a little bit. I'm a flurry texter, we can call it.

Where you're text and flurries. It's like, yeah, hey, send, how are you saying? Yeah? Seven? Though you stop, you don't keep going forever and ever? And you want you want to leave the person on the other end of the text message wanting more, right, Like you want to leave him hanging, like you have other things going on in your life, the game, Like what happened? Were you just sitting staring at your phone like what's going through

your head during this time. I don't know. I just wanted to talk to him, like you know, as if we were just sitting together at the bar, talking back and forth. It was just whatever came into my head. I don't know why you all think that's so weird. They are like off, I mean, yeah, he's yeah. I mean, Curtis is on the phone right now. Why don't you guys talk at this moment. This is the perfect opportunity

to have a discussion. Sure, you know the all the messaging was excessive, but there's really no point of blocking your number because I know that you keep messaging me from other people's phones too, and all these different numbers. The last part. No, no, I have multiple phones. I have a phone for work, I have my private phone, and I text from both phones. For all she knows, he's not getting the text. Okay, I don't know how

you guys are defending this behavior. Curtis. Please step in here and tell her what your boundaries to defend the person that actually listens to our show, person that's never heard of us before my legan side. You could be great, but you need to tone it down. Curtis. You got to tell her your boundaries right now, so all the people texting them, because she obviously is not getting it. I mean, if people want to talk to me, he would just say, so, Megan, please stop texting me again?

Say it again, Curtis, would you pretty pretty please stop texting me? Don't do you get it? Megan? I mean, does that mean you don't want to talk to me at all? I want to be just really clear about this. You just don't want to talk to me or see me. You just have to come out and say that. Yes, that's what I'm saying. I don't know if we should talk anymore. You don't know or you know, you're not being clear with me. I'm trying to be nice. I'm not sure of what you mean. You drop nice. Yeah,

we're gonna have to be brutal here, Curtis. I think I'm just going to change my number. Guys, Oh say it likely? Oh wow? See this is why I keep talking and I'm not getting a clear answer, And oh my god, she needs just text our text board anytime you feel like you want to text Curtis, Okay, forward it to him. I mean, you're a great guy, but

you're just not really great at communication. I think that's a good lesson guys text back, be better communicators and also be better listeners, like Curtis, did you hear what she said? Okay, she's breaking up with you. She's not interested in seeing you because you don't know how to communicate properly. Damn there go working very in the morning.
