Oh, that is a tough question because

people I've always found it harder personally. I mean, you go up there, you deliver a great pickup line, compliment the girl on her beautiful white dress, going for the kissing. I'm getting thrown out. Yeah, for putting myself out there. I'm sorry. One of our listeners, and Nate agrees with me because he says he met a girl at a wedding and apparently was 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 the

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 they're not. Jeffrey being engaged as 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 nate. Who who is the woman that she met? What's her name? Okay? Her name is Meg? Okay,

Meg okay? And I figured bring in 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, crossed 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 another table over and that didn't work. You can't do that at a money do you 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 your table hopping, slowly making your way closer and closer to her table. Did you ever make it? I never made it to her 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, saw each table you getting closer and closer. That wouldn't be a little bit creepy. Yeah, like the term nae her, 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 was my moment, 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 Movieeah, I made her my waitress. That's a terrible blue wow. I mean, I mean, yeah, I would love if someone that to me. He did it work? It did work? 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, that was the Yeah, that was the meetings. Wokay, 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 that went really well, like we got to know each other. We 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 shot 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 run I didn't know, or both the groom's friend. Why would she say that your trouble because obviously I don't know you. I'm such

a great guy, I don't have no idea. Yeah, I mean typically, like if I were to say that about one of my husband's buddies, it's because they drink a lot. There with multiple different women all the time, the 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 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, but

it was just typical. And did you take 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 had didn't responded to any texts. Have texts here, 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 update. All right, Yeah, that's great things, all right, Nate, hold on. 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. That my twelve year old dreams from me 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 love her. WHOA, you just set it again. I mean I love being with her. Oh wow, that's okay. So now I'm starting to think the reason she's not calling you this movie. You came on too strong? Yeah, okay, I never say anything like that in front of her. I'm just feeling

really positive. Okay. It's a lot. Writing on this now 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 friends 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 core 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. 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 did 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 silent. I just don't want to give the wrong impression or the wrong idea to him. Could 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 gay, 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 are exactly that it could be not even true. Yeah, totally. This isn't a rum This was like 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, yeah, I 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 the chance, 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? But do you want that person?

Is so fun at a party? Like everybody loves that person, no matter how terrible. Saw what you saw him dance at a 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 you're 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 DDI it looked like idiots. I mean, it's just like stepped up. Oh my god. Like when he saw he was like a little can I canny scores, He's like, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, we have to play. We have to play next, Like twenty

thirty minutes, he is just like going to town. Oh no, was he so sweaty he was in It was just so bad, Like he just kept getting these really low scores and he's like, I don't understand what's happening. He's 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 and reply to my drink and oh no, no, like you go, you go, you get yourself down a drink. He's like, I don't want to lose my game. Excuse me, sir. 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 that 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. 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 that's why are you being defensive? Need to come in like that because we ragged on his DDR skills, The claws are going to come. I mean,

I don't even take it that seriously. Like I was set 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 don't, I'm not. I don't think I should be on Dancing with the Stars. I'm not thinking dancer. I don't even

think that matters. I think what matters is you were more concentrated on this game for a half an hour than your date. You sent her to the bar by yourself to get it her own. I don't think it sent to a constrict I am a great dancer, A right, Okay, your scorer on the game, would you beg to differ? But that game was a polished One of the senses is broken Okay, Okay, I think we're learning a lot

more about I'm gonna tell you something. It definitely wasn't broken because the person who like went right before him before this whole thing started. That he really high score because he works there. Okay, 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 actually doesn't seem to like my dancing. I mean,

now what, I haven't 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 on 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, atry, I'm like, no, I'm gonna send videos of me dancing. You can see a dance for you. I'm gonna block your number right 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 guy 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 well hold on before you're done. I do need to ask you if you would like to go out on another day with names. Yeah, we'll pay for dancing. There won't be any dancing. I don't think anything.

You can't hearan 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 lucky if you dance floor 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. Professional. Yeah, we're the professionals at blowing it. That's why maybe we

should rename this segment blowing It and Jeffrey. It will get a lot of Google click Yeah. Text into seven eighty five nine two. If you have a promising love interest, call us and we'll find a way to blow it for work and Jeffrey in the morning.
