Second Date Update: Dance Machine

not as easy as he expected it to be. Nate, Welcome to the show. How you doing, man, how's it going? Please don't tell me it was a bride, the mother in law, any of it. Yeah. I mean, god, it's a crazy story. I oh my god. Wait was it someone that was single that you met? She was single? Yeah? Okay, brides are technically single until they say I do. They're not being engaged to someone else who doesn't qualify you as single. Okay, Well that's good to know. Yeah, I've

learned something here. But go ahead and name who who is the woman that she met? What's her name? Okay? Her name is Meg? Okay, mega, okay, And I figured bringing the professionals, I need help with the situations, okay. And did you notice Meg right away at the wedding? I did notice her right away. I saw her sitting in one of the pews across the aisle, and I'm like, oh, wow, okay, she's really attractive. I should try to talk to her. And it was pretty much a struggle to even get

to meet her. What was your strategy to meet her? Well? I was first. I was like, oh, maybe we'll be at the same table, but of course we weren't. So I was actually trying to switch with somebody, like a single person at her table. Actually was able to move one table closer, but I was still a table too far away. And then I was trying to do another table over and that didn't work. You can't do that at a moundy. Do you know how much time and energy goes into like eating charge? Yes? So much. Yeah,

I was eating the fish. I didn't order the fish. At this point, you're just taking someone else's chair, So you your table hopping, slowly making your way closer and closer to her table. Did you ever make it? I never made it to your table. You just wait till she's up at the bar and then time your drink at the same time as hers or yeah, right, that's exactly what happened. It's so great. Okay. It feels almost like you were trying too hard, like it could have

probably happened organically. Saw you really trying to force it. If she saw each table you getting closer and closer, that wouldn't be a little bit creepy. Yeah, like the terminator, I'm like anything. So was there ever a moment when you were able to get some one on one time with her? Yeah, finally at the bar. I hear at the bar because she's my mom made okay, and I go up there and then I tell her that I actually have to talk to the groom, which you mind

bringing the drink over to our table. Oh, he made her your waitress for the night. Yeah that was my movie. Yeah, I made her my waitress. That's a terrible blue wow. I mean, I mean, yeah, I would love if someone that's me. He didn't work. It did work? Oh oh wow? Right, So she brought the drink over to the table and that was cool. So we were able to talk for a little bit, you know, obviously we knew common people and it went well. And then I was like, hey,

would you like to get dinner sometime? And she was actually a little surprised. I guess that like I was hitting on her at the wedding you know, so stereotypical, but oh she didn't pick up that you were hitting on her at first, and then finally was like, oh, oh wait a minute, like you yeah, yeah, okay, So so the wedding night was not considered the actual date right now? That was the yeah, that was the meetings. Wow, okay, so what was the date? Like, hopefully you didn't make

her your waitress there too, right though, exactly? So we went out for dinner and uh, that went really well, Like we got to know each other, like chatted a bit and we had some fun and uh what was the vibe? Like were you nervous? I mean on her side and your side? Well, she actually called me out, she said, did you stage that whole waitress thing? Did you just to meet me? She pulled me out, and I actually I was like, yeah I did. But it

started out really good. We were being playful with each other. Yeah, And it's a good sign when somebody can give you crap you know, like, yeah, and you can take it, you give it back like that's a good dynamic. Someone's laughing at your creepiness. Then there's a moment. So how did the rest of the night go? Well? Okay, So then she did say that she talked to the bride about me, and she wouldn't say exactly what she said, but she just said that I would be trouble. No,

wait are you? I mean at the wedding. Were you the groom's friend or the bride's friend I didn't know, or both the groom's friend. Why would she say that your trouble because obviously don't know you. I'm such a great guy, I don't I have no idea. Yeah, I mean typically, like if I were to say that about one of my husband's buddies, it's be because they drink a lot there with multiple different women all the time, very attractive qualities. Yeah, like you know you. Yeah, there's

a rumor about you. Well, how did the date end? So then it was the next stage. We went to one of those arcade bar places, so it continued. She was still into it. Okay, So we were having fun there and then she kissed me in front of street Fighter. Oh does that mean something? It's interesting the way that you said it, though you said she kissed you, is that? Is that what it was? She kissed you at the

street fighter? Or did you kiss her? Okay? Well I kissed her, but she kissed me back, okay, okay, so it was your move, it wasn't her move, all right, right, so it was just typical. And did you make any plans to see each other again? We were just like, oh, we'll talk and we'll set up something. And then, of course this is what I'm calling. I haven't heard from her since she hasn't responded to any texts. You have text or probably three or four times. Maybe she talked

to the bride again. Yeah, yeah, we'll find out what really happened. We're gonna play a song, we'll come back, we'll call Meg for you, and we'll try and get your second date up date. All right, Yeah, that's great things, all right, Nate, hold one. When you think of the most romantic Hollywood moments of all time, there's Jack and Rose kissing on the bow with a Titanic Noah and Ali's passionate kiss in the rain from the Notebook, and of course our listener Nate and his date Meg swapping

saliva in front of the street Fighter video. Hey, that's the sound of their tongues punching each other anyway. But one of our listeners, Nate had a nice dinner date with a girl named Meg, followed by a little arcade action, but afterwards she's been blowing him off and he wants to know why. So, Nate, how you feeling before we call her? I'm so really good honestly. I mean, I hate to say this, but I'm thinking she could be

the one. WHOA, that's pretty quick. I mean, I just we just didn't get that sense from the you know, talking to you a second ago. No, No, I really love I love her. Whoa, you just set it again. I mean I love being with her. Oh wow. Okay, Okay, So now I'm started to think the reason she's not calling you is maybe you came on too strong. Yeah, okay, I never say anything like that in front of her. I'm just feeling really positive. Okay, Okay. There's a lot

writing on this now, so up. It makes me want to make in front of a street Fighter machine though, I'm going to get those types of feelings. That's what I'm worried. I need to bring a machine around with me. Okay, No, don't do that. That doesn't make sense. I think. Yeah, we all need to stop talking and just call up Meg and figure out what's going on. You ready, man, I'm ready. Okay, here we go. I'm a dollar number right now. Hello, Hey, I'm looking for Meg. Um. This

is Maggie. Who who's calling Maggie? Oh? Is that is mag Do you go by Meg? Ever? Um? My friends call me Meg, but I don't know who you are. I mean, hopefully we can do after we're done with this. But we're calling on behalf of one of our listeners who went out on a date with you recently. Okay, again, still awkward and not really sure? Like okay, that's pretty part for the course with these we're doing something called

a second date update. That's where if you go out with someone and afterwards, if that person isn't calling you back, you can email our show for help and we'll reach out to them for you to help you figure out the reason why. And so the listener that we're calling for. His name is Nate. Oh yeah, I know Nate. Ate. Okay, do you like Nate? Maybe I should just say how do you feel about Nate. I mean, Nate's a funny guy. Yeah, we didn't speak with Nate a little bit earlier, and

he told us all about how you guys met. He told us about your dinner date and go into the arcade together, and he said there was even a kiss that you guys had at the end of the night. So from our end, it all sounded pretty good. He's a little bit confused why afterwards you're not calling him back though. I mean, he's a nice guy and all, and like we did have a pretty fun date. I just wasn't sure. I'm not sure how to proceed. I'm

not really sure if I want to pursue it. So that's why I've just kind of been like radio is silent. I just don't want to give the wrong impression or the wrong idea to him. Can I ask? Because he did mention that you told him that the bride of the wedding said that he was trouble. Is that what you're referring to? I mean, is it just because of something she told you. I don't want to embarrass him, because,

like I said, she's a nice guy. He's a funny dude. Well, he probably wants to know, Like if somebody was saying stuff behind your bad yeah, you know, warning people about you, you'd want to know what they were saying and to defend a little bit. A lot of time, rumors aren't exactly that it could be not even true. Yeah, totally. This isn't a rumor. This was like one true. I saw it with my own eyes. She saw it, so she warned you. What did you see at first? But

she was like, you know, you gotta be cautious. I'm like, oh my god, if he a criminal, does he have a record. Yeah, but it wasn't that. It may be worse depending just how you look at it. She told me that he loves to dance, but he is terrible, Like he's a terrible dancer, but just doesn't like he's so oblivious about how bad he is. Oh, I don't think there could be Like, dude, if people love to dance, like, just let him dance. Who cares if it looks like

an idiot? Do you want to date that person? What do you want? That person is so fun at a party, Like everybody loves that person, no matter how terrible they So you saw what you saw him dance at the wedding before you said yes to a date. But the difference is Brooke knows that she's like a mediocre dancer. The bride says that he's oblivious to it. But but you said yes after you saw him dance at the wedding.

I didn't really see him dancing that much at the wedding because there's a lot going on, a lot of people are dancing. Yeah, so wait, when did you see him dance then? So we went obviously, you know, we went to an arcade bar, and of course they had dance dance Revolution. This is the whole realm of dancing. But nobody's nobody looks good when they do dd. They look like idiots. I mean, it's just like stepped up.

Oh my god. Like when he saw he was like a well Kim at Canning Sports, like, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, we have to play and we have to play. That's like twenty thirty minutes. He is just like going to town. Oh no, was he so sweaty? He was? It was just so bad. Like he's just kept getting these really low scores and he's like, I do understand what's happening. He's not doing well. So wait, you just sat there and watched him do this for twenty to thirty minutes. I felt like so

like people are looking. I felt awkward. How do you tell someone like maybe we should stop? Like at one point, I watched the bar to replyished my drink. Oh no, like you go, you go, you get yourself down to drink. He's like, I don't want to lose my game. Yeah, I'll defend a bad dancer forever. But that, I mean, it's almost like borderline rude. Yeah, he's ignoring you for thirty minutes. I don't think he probably didn't even realize. Yeah he was doing that. But I think maybe we

could find out by asking him. Because Meg, I need to tell you or sorry, excuse me, Maggie. I know we're not friends yet, Maggie, I need to let you know we are. Nate's been on the other line listening and he wants to talk to you. Oh, oh god, I am on the other line, and I will say that you were getting some terrible scores yourself. Oh why are you being defensive? Dude need to come in like that because we ragged on his DDR skills the claws come.

I mean, I don't even take it that seriously, Like I wasset about getting low scores, like you were devastated that you were getting low scores on Dance Dance Revolution, Like there's a bigger difference. I don't know. I mean, you're acting like you should be on Dancing with the Stars or something, and that's not the case. I'm not. I mean, I don't. I'm not. I don't think I should be on Dancing with the Stars. I'm not thinking

so I don't even think that matters. I think what matters is you were more concentrated on this game for half an hour than your date. You center to the bar by yourself to get it. I don't think it did well. Let's thinking a good strict I am a great dancer. Okay, your scorer on the game would beg to differ, but that game was a polish. One of the senses is broken. Okay, Okay, I think we're learning

a lot more about how gonna tell you something. It definitely wasn't broken because the person who like went right before him before this whole thing started, that a really high score. Its because he works there. Okay, he thought they're all us. He knows the senses not working right, he knows how to use it. Okay, I think we're missing the point of this. Hall. I thought you wanted to go out with her again. Remember how much you like her? You really like her? Yes, well, I'm actually

doesn't seem to like my dancing. I mean, now what, It's not even just about the dancing anymore. It's just about the delusion right now that I'm listening to. Okay, I'm a great dancer. There's nothing delusional about that. So to be clear, if he had scored higher once revolution game, then you would be interested. I don't think any score would really impress the I mean, the fact of the matter is, I was pretty much ignored for such a

good amount of time. I just really don't understand, like how you could ignore your date to just try to get the highest score possible and not realize, like when you're constantly failing, Like you know, I really, I'm no, I'm gonna send videos of me dancing you can see, but a dance for you. Okay, I'm going to block your number right now. Listen. I don't take so much offense. You know, dancings like art, it's in the eye of the beholder. Look, man, if I was you, I would

not listen to Brooks. She's a really, really bad dancer. I would just stop the dancing altogether and focus on the relationship. If you guys have a connection, that's what we need to be focusing on. There is no relationship. There's no connection, there's nothing like. I'm done. I just we'll hold on before you're done. I do need to ask you if you would like to go out on another date with names. We'll pay for dancing. There won't be any dancing. I don't think anything you can't hear

see that? Yeah, who knows. He could take me to a restaurant and next thing I know, there's a dance floor opening up. You would be so wealthy if dancefloor opened up in the middle of a restaurant and we were there. Yeah, you will find your dancing partner. I just don't think it's Maggie. I have to say, you guys really blew it for me. You know I'm the one that was fighting for you. Dude, you're professional. Yeah,

we're the professionals at blowing it. Yeah, that's why maybe we should rename this segment blowing it with Broke and Jeffrey. It will get a lot of Google clicks. Okay, text into seven eight, five nine two. If you have a promising love interest, call us and we'll find a way to blow it for Broke and Jeffrey in the morning. I feel like if people are bad dancers, and you just acknowledge that you're a bad dancer, you're five hundred

percent more likely to get another day. Yeah. Absolutely, Like if you're oh, I suck but I love it, Yeah, you just make fun of yourself for it. But if you deny it and you fight it and you have no self awareness, that's not attractive. Fringe, And that's why one of our listeners, Nate, had such a hard time getting another date. He doesn't take criticism. Well, no, but I do appreciate a man who loves to dance. Sure, even if they're terrible. I love it. Dance revolution. Yeah,

they have fun with it. But wasn't having fun. He was very serious. Yeah. If he didn't ignore his date the entire time, I would have been fine with it, you know. Yeah, But unfortunately he did all the things wrong, and so that's why Nate ended up dateless by the end of this second date. Does anyone else want to go play some DDR with me, though flip flops right now. That wouldn't work for dance dance. Remember, if you want

to get a second date update, email the show. We'll call the person into us and calling you back
