Are you single and feeling out of the loop? Put away that mouse and get out of the house. Join in the Loop, Seattle's brand new activities club just for singles. Put in the Loop Singles dot Com Today, Rink and Jewels. Second date Update. Anytime I hear stories from friends of mine, usually female, who have had like a worker over on their house, either doing some construction or something and they end up asking them out, it always trips me out
because they never say yes to the guy. But then I think there's the one time where that's actually worked for that dude, and you never hear about it actually working until today and today's second date update. Jane actually agreed to go out with the cable guy is usually probably going to be one of the creepier people to come to your house. Out of all of them, who you pick, I'd go with the plumber first. Jane, how are you? Hey, guys, I'm good. How are you good?
So you actually decided to go out with the cable guy? Huh? Well yeah? Even cute? I mean is that even then? You know he shut up all my cables and I got you're talking and she just saves me out And I was like this guy's so cute and he's not like a regular cable guy, Like he wasn't creepy. He's better than all the other cable guys. Yeah he was.
What did you guys do on your date? We went out for a drink and we talked about movies like I just a Guardians the Galaxy and he had seen it too, so we'd like talked about that, you know, and just like hung out. We called jokes. It's actually I'm really nerdy, but I love jokes and so and you love jokes too. As it turns out, weird, you're one of those rare people that like jokes. Send something
nobody like change Jane. Well, weird that you two little oddballs would find each other in a world as big as this. Are you working front of me? No, I'm not so. You guys had drinks, enjoyed some jokes, and some movie talk. Anything else happened interesting on your date? You know, usual date stuff? Okay, like what's usual date stuff for you? Because hey, we get a lot of these second date updates, and some people's usual date stuff
is like unusual twelve years married stuff. No, I'm like pretty basic, Like you know, it's like think of a normal date with a cable guy. We talked about kind of sammium channels I have. We talked about my remote control and try to get some sort of free upgrade off of him is doing exactly? I was like, can you bundle my package you a little bit? That's obviously why you're calling to do a second date update. So he hasn't. So he obviously hasn't called you back since
your date. Have you talked to him at all? No? Okay? And it's you know, we do these things. I ask everybody every single time. Is there something weird that could have happened during your date? Did you do something weird? Did you say something that he could have thought was weird? You know, I didn't think it was weird, but when I was talking to your producer ahead of time, he actually did think that one part of my story was strange. Okay, And what part of the story is that? So? I okay.
So maybe the only thing that maybe weirded him out a little bit is that I have a happy birthday book. You have a what it's a happy birthday book? What's a happy birthday book? I have no idea. Yeah, it's a little book that I keep in my purse, and I write the birthdays of people I liked in it so that I can remember them and wish them happy birthday. So you have a book with you at all times, with everybody that you feel is close to you. Yeah,
I think birthdays are special. And he thought that was weird. I mean, I mean it is kind of but not bad enough to not to call somebody back to. I mean, we've had a couple of drinks and we were just like seeing from his birthday. So I asked him when his birthday was, and he told me, so I wrote it down the my birthday book, and that she gave me kind of a weird book. So he seemed kind of weird it out that you pulled out a book and wrote down his birthday after he said it, Yeah,
he did. Did you explain to him what you were doing or did he did you ask him his birthday and then creepily take out a book, write it down and put it away back in your purse. No, I explained, I explained, Okay, do you feel like the birthday book weirded him out? Well? May, Yeah, I don't think it's weird because my mom used to do that. So It's a second nature to me. Like my mom was a very hite person who wrote people birthday cards. It's just
such how I was raised. Did your mom teach you rules about it though, Like, you know, you don't kiss on the first date, you know, birthday book on the first day. No, you, guys, That's what I was going to think. The only reason why I think your birthday book would have weirded him out is if he thought that it was all just people that were super super close to you. Yeah, and then you're already including him
in that group of people. Did you explain to him that, hey, I just write down everybody's birthday because I'm a sweetheart now existent pictures and cards and things like that, don't I don't think I did. Okay, So maybe he's thinking that you might be a little clingy and someone would get a little too attached too quick. Yeah, that is a big jump of conclusions for writing down one birthday though, I mean, especially when you're drinking a little bit. How
drunk were you, guys? Pretty drunk? Thank you, Brook. I don't think now if I go out on a first date with a girl and she's already solidified my name in a book with my birthdate next to it. To me, that sounds pretty permanent already. Plus it's it's the digital age where all of this information is already readily available online, so it's kind of taking a special effort to physically write it down in a book. That's what I like about it. I can nobody write things down anymore, you know.
I think it's thoughtful. I think you're nice. All right, well we'll play a song. Come back, call him and get your second date update. All right, thanks, all right, hang up brooking jubil in the morning date. If you're just tuning in for the second date update, Jane is on the phone with us. She took a risk, a big risk, and went out on a date with the cable guy. He actually asked her out while she was working at her house. She agreed to go out with him.
From her account, they had a fun time drinks, talking about a lot of subjects they were both interested in, including jokes, including jokes. Very into jokes, which is weird because most people not into those things. Jane says. The one thing, though, that did happen on their date that she thinks might be the reason he's not calling her back is she keeps a birthday book with her, something that none of us in here have ever heard before.
It's a little book that she keeps in her purse with everybody's birthday written down in it, people who she thinks is special and important in her life, so that she can send them cards or whatever whenever the birthday comes up. Well, at some point during the date, she took out the birthday book, wrote his birthday down in it, and then closed it and put it back in her purse. And she thinks that maybe he's a little weirded out by that. All right, Jane, are you ready to give
Travis a call? Yeah? Okay, anything other than the birthday book that you can think about that might have gone wrong on your date? No, And you know, I think even the birthday book was heartless, Like I think it was just like you know, it was fun saying and I's fun with that. All right, Well, doll the phone number right now, see if we can get him on the phone and then find out why is not calling you back. Okay, Hello, Hi, can I speak to Travis?
Please listen. I'm speaking Travis. My name's Jewel. I'm having a problem with my cable came over and worked on a little while ago. I'm not sure if you remember me or not. Um, no, I'm not. How did you get my cell phone number? Oh that's because what I just said is completely wrong. This is actually Jewel from Brook and Jewel in the Morning. I'm moving ninety two point five. How are you? Um? Yeah, I'm sorry. I
still don't know who you are. Well, host the radio show, and you recently went out on a date with one of our listeners. Okay. She says that you're not calling her back after your date, and so she emailed us and asked if we could get you on the phone and find out why. Her name is Jane. Jane Jane. You recently went out with her after you came over to work on her cable. I guess you asked her out and the two you went out for drinks. Oh,
birthday girl, Jane. That would probably be the right Jane. Listen. We talked to Jane before calling you, and she told us a little bit about your date. Said she had a fun time. She said the only awkward thing would be this little birthday book that she has. And judging by the fact that you called her birthday girl, Jane, I'm assuming that probably was a little weird to you she told you about that. Uh yeah, I thought that would be a little strange if I was on a
date with her and she did that. So was that that was weird for you? Oh yeah I was. Yeah, it was really weird. Actually, just because she wrote your birthday down that was like too strange. Well, I mean she kept asking for birthday and like I told her, and she closed the book and she said, Travis, I will never forget your birthday because you were special. That's kind of slurring a little bit. Yeah, that's what I picture though. I do a picture to Hammer and go,
just like I'll never forgive Brithda you suspacion, Travis. Is that how it happened? Well, yeah, I mean it's a first day. I mean it's pretty weird. Anyway. She starts like she forgets that she had birthdays for her like her friends today's, so she starts texting them. Oh no, she was texting her friends that she saw in the birthday book that she has. Yeah, she like makes me grab the phone and sing happy birthday to one of her friends. That sucks. No, I would be annoyed with that.
Like she put you on the spot. And said, here's the phone thing, Happy birthday to my friend Janet or whatever. Is that what happened? It was just kind of annoying because like, we're at this bar and I'm singing happy birthday to one of her friends who I've never met before. Does she seem really drunk at this point? Yes, okay, because that sounds like hammered activity, like it's my birthday. But and you know what we're gonna do now the
sun We're gonna saying happy birthday to everybody. Do you think that maybe she's like just trying to be playful though, and still flirting with you. At first, it was kind of cute when she was asking me about it, but then she kept asking me like if I remember her birthday? Like it was a quiz, because thank Travis, when's my birthday? Like April nineteen guys? You know I said that a couple of times around the night, and she was like,
good job. So you're saying that she has a strange obsession with birthdays, little bit, and she kept giving you like a pop quiz that you never wanted to have. So, I mean, it was cute the first time, but after that it was really annoying. Hey, Travis, when is her birthday? April? Mike? Good job, Travis. I should also let you know that she's actually on the other line listening. Hi, Travis, I caught you right. Why do you hate birthdays so much?
Your birthday hater? I don't hate birthdays, but I think it's weird constantly talking about birthdays. Now, who's the one who's constantly talking about birthday as your birthday hater? Are you, Jane? What are you doing? Are you? Is this like your weird way of flirting with Travis for psychology? Jane, I don't know. I like him so much. Are you just embarrassed right now? Yeah? I mean maybe you could just explain to him like you were being wasted or something.
I was, Travis. I'm so sorry. I feel like I probably blew it with you. I just was trunk and I was having fun and I thought you were on the trunk train with me. Well, I mean it was just really weird. It was like our first date and all you want to talk about was birthdays and his birthday book, and I thought it was really I got nervous. I ran out of jokes to tell. So that is that your backup Jane, when you get nervous, you go get you run it out of jokes and then you
get into the birthday stuff. Oh my gosh, you guys, when I get nervous, I just don't even know what I'm doing. I get so confused. It's like I black out from nervousness. I agree with that, Jane, because I just heard you a second ago trying to flirt with Travis in order to get him back about the birthday thing. I can tell that you really get flustered. I do. It's really your problem. Yeah, all right, well let me do this for you, then, Jane, let me do this
for you. Okay. You just sit there and hang out for a second, all right, and collect yourself, okay, because this might be pretty nerve racking. What's about to happen, Travis, I would like it if you would go out with Jane again and give her a second shot. She sounds like she just does not know how to handle nerves at all, and hopefully on a second date she'll be a little less nervous. Would you go out with Jane again? I don't know, one more chance? Like, how harmful can
it be to go out with her again? The worst thing could happen is you start talking about birthdays again and then you never have to call her. Just give it one more shot. She just she sounds like she likes you a lot and was just incredibly nervous on your first date. All right, I'll do it. You'll do it, all right, fabulous, Jane. Congratulations you got your second date. It's so excited. I promise it will be weird this next day. I don't think you can make that guarantee, Jane,
but just embrace it. Say if I'm weird, then know that underneath it all is a really cool girl who just wants to hang out and have fun. Okay, yeah, no, if I'm weird, it's just just know that underneath at all, I'm just like a totally cool girl who just wants that. You didn't have to say that, Jane. Yea, I was just say I was saying you could say that to Travis. But we'll get through this. I feel like I want to be your like dating coach, Jupil. Help me. I'm trying. Jane broken Jupil in the morning,
