Second Date Update PODCAST: I've Been Watching You

tried to let the horse jump back on him. Right, Mark, I don't know what that means that you wanted to get back in the dating scene. Okay, Mark said that he wants to call this scrownam Alison to day. Apparently Mark met her and they went out on a date. Recently got out of a long relationship. That's what your email said, right, Yeah, that's right, okay, And tell us a little bit about Alice and the girl that you

want us to call today. She works in my building, not in my office, but in my building, and my friends were trying to get me back in the game, and uh, they hooked me up with her. And so you just work in the big business park. How'd you approach her? A bunch of people from the building went to lunch together and she was in that group and sort of hit it off. There was it like a set up where your friends were like, Okay, we're all gonna go to lunch, We're gonna invite her. No, it

wasn't set up for me to meet her. She was just there and I made the move, all right, And I made my move. So tell us a little bit about your date. What did you guys do? We actually went ice skating. Oh, that's so dude. I always wanted to do that for a date and my husband will never take me. Maybe Mark, you know, if this doesn't work out for you, Mark, you can get a date with Brooke. I guess. Yeah, you went ice skating. How'd

that go? It was awesome. I only fell twice and we hit it off, and like, we talked about how we both wanted to leave our jobs in the same building. All right, so you both said you both bonded over the hatred of your job. How did your date end? Then? After ice skating, we got some hot chocolate. You're adorable. Nice and then I walked her to her car and we kissed and it was really nice, a really nice, really good way to get back in it. You actually kissed,

and since then she hasn't called you. Well, we have plans to go out again on a Saturday the next day, and then Saturday rolls around and she says, oh, can we push it to the next day. I said okay. And then after that the next day comes and she's like, oh, can we push it to next week? And I'm like that sucks. So it doesn't feel like she actually is just rescheduling. Mark. At the beginning of the call, you said you were trying to get back in the saddle. So how long have you been out of it? Like,

was your last breakup early recent? It's been a couple of months, long enough to be over it and be ready to move on. Yeah, you weren't talking about your ex the whole time or anything, right. I specifically avoided that top. That's good. A lot of people wouldn't do that. They would have taken her ice skating. We're like, oh, man, Jessica used like ice skating a lot. I missing ice skating with her. You know, no, no, no, I've listened to your second dates a lot, so I know that's

the wrong move. I like the second dates are actually helping people learn how to date. So if everything went right, ice skating was cool, you kissed at the end of the date, why do you think she's blowing you off? Now? I've been racking my brains and I have no idea because it went it really well. Have you run into her in the building? No, she works in a separate part of the building, so I never really saw her

in the first place. All right, Okay, Well, we'll play a song, come back, call her and get your second date update. Okay, Well, I have one more thing though. It's the texts are really polite, and they're pushing this date that is theoretically going to happen, So it's not like she's like blowing me off. She just politely keeps moving. So that's why it's so confusing, because it's not just hey, I can't do it today. Yeah, exactly. Okay, all right,

we'll call her get your second day update right after this. Okay, but there's one more thing I have to tell you. What is it? Mark? I really appreciate you taking my call. You're welcome. Is there before I throw it to the song? Is there anything else that you want to say before we go? Um? No, we're good. All right, I'm gonna playing a song, come back and get your second date. Update hang on the phone, all right, brooking jubil in the morning updates. All right, Mark is on the phone

with us. He emailed us about a girl named Alison. They met through friends at work. They went out ice skating, had some cocoa, kissed at the end of the date. Really nice date. Can't really find a reason why she wouldn't want to go out with him again, and she's been blowing him off rescheduling in a very nice way. So he's not even really sure if she actually doesn't want to see him again, or if for some reason she just really is rescheduling. We're about to call her

right now. But Mark, before we get her on the phone, you know you got out of a long relationship. You told us, Yeah, that's right. Do you feel like this girl could be your next girlfriend? I mean I probably. I wouldn't be pushing it if I didn't think like we had something. Okay, so turn into something. So there's something there then yeah, yeah, and you're ready for another relationship? Um, yeah, I think Well, yeah, I'm just curious if you really

like this girl like you thought. Maybe you saw a future with her, or if you just thought that you wanted to go out on another date, because I mean, I definitely think that it's potential there for it to turn into something more. I'm just really curious. I don't get it. I don't get why she sheeps putting it off. Okay, well I'm gonna call it right now. See we can get on the phone and then get your second day up date. Okay, cool, here we go. Hello. Hi, can

I speak to Alison please? This is Alison. Hey, Alison, how are you? This is Jewel from Brook and Jewil in the Morning, the radio show. Yes, how you doing fine? I'm calling you actually because you recently went out on a date with a listener of our show. It then. Yeah, his name is Mark. Yeah. Well apparently you've been blowing him off for a couple of weeks since your date, and he asked us to call on see if we could find out why. He said I was blowing him off.

He said he's been trying to go out with you ever since your date, and you keep like postponing it. Yeah, but I'm not blowing him off. Okay, should I tell him that you're actually going to go out with him? One of these days. Yeah, absolutely, Okay, what are you waiting for? Well, I mean it's important and I want to make sure that, like I'm totally there for it. So I just needed to have the right time. So there's something going on with you personally that you just

need to wait, Allison. Please don't tell me it's because you need to end another relationship. No, no, definitely not. No, I'm single. Okay. Well, Mark wants to know because that's why you emailed us, because you know how it is, if you go out with someone and they keep, you know, going, oh, hey, I can't go out this week, maybe next week, and then they keep doing that. At a certain point, you feel like they don't like you. I never meant to do that, like that was not my intention at all. No,

I just I just needed more time. Okay, Because he's starting to get that vibe from you that you don't want to go out with him. What can I tell him? Then? Can you just tell him that I just needed a couple extra days just to just to kind of get some things together. That sounds so sketchy though, Allison, but it's not really, It really isn't sketchy. I just I just needed a couple more days. I promise. I really

do like him. Are you just like out of time, like you don't have enough time in your day and your job's really demanding or I kind of would rather not tell you, guys, because I think it might sound crazy and I would really not want to come off like a crazy person. That makes me want to know even more. Yeah, I'm thinking like you're you're going to get a boob job or something and you need to

get that finished. No, not at all. I just feel like this could be the most important second date of my life, and i'd really rather not ruin the surprise. WHOA you like him that much? Wow? I do? I mean, I just I've been working on this picture book for him for the last I don't know, a couple of months, and I just want to make sure that it's it's just not ready yet to get to him, and so I'm just trying to finish it. You say you've been

working on a picture book? Yeah, have you what? I've been working on collecting some photos of the last like year or so, of I guess, like of me liking him, and like Alison, I guess I'm I'm I'm confused. You guys went on that one day. Yeah, had you known each other beforehand? Because when we talked to him, he says that he knew you worked in the same building and you met like at a lunch. Yeah, in terms of like dating, but I've known of him for about

a year and a half or so. One of my girlfriends at work pointed him out to me, and we were with two totally separate groups. But I met and I just knew it was perfect, Like it we were going to date. I had to wait it out. So are the pictures? So what I don't I guess I don't understand exactly what you're building. You said a picture book, But what is the picture book of collages or something? Yeah, Like I'm imagining you taking photos of him outside of

his house. That's what it sounds like you're saying. No, just like who we were before we started dating. So like I went to his high school and I got his high school yearbook photo that minute, and I recently died my her blonde, so I have like the before and after photo. Like, so like who we were before we got together, and you're planning on giving him this on your second date? Yeah, And I mean I think

he's really appreciated. I think he'd really love it. We don't you have girlfriends to tell you that this is like crazy. This isn't crazy. It's like a book of my feelings and all of like all of what we were before we're going to be together, and it's you know, like I know how much she liked blondes and the fact that I went and siged my hair bond. She's just going to appreciate it. Allison. You know what, You're right,

Alison Buried. We're going to have this like shown at the wedding, was like what our lives were like before we were together. Alison, you know what if somebody had done that for me on a second date, I would think that that was so sweet. You are such a no I would think that, you know, it'd be nice if somebody went to all that work for me. Yeah. See, No, I just wanted it to be sweet like and that's why I can't see him yet. It's okay, not ready,

all right, Allison, Well then I will. I would tell him to just hold tight and you will eventually go out with him. That's a message you want me to pass along. That's exactly it. Thank you, You're welcome, Alison. I also need to let you know that Mark is on the other line and just heard that. Mark. Yeah, Allison, what's going on? You've been collecting pictures of me? Allison? Um, Mark, it wasn't that you weren't supposed to find out about

it this way. Like, I have this beautiful book that I've just been working on and I just wanted you to see it. And I haven't been blowing you off. I swear. See, you've been working on this since way before we even met. I mean yeah, because you were in a relationship, and so I knew that we couldn't be together. I'm not kind of girl like, of course, I was going to wait until you were single. How

did you even know I was in a relationship. I mean, like we have mutual friend and at work, and so I just, you know, I knew, I knew some things about you. You've been like stalking for the past year. No, no, no, no, no no, I'm not. I'm not that kind of crazy person. I'm not a stalker at all, a crazy person. You knew what our life was like before, and it was documented. Alison,

this is creepy. It's not It's not at all like it's really just meant to be sweet and endearing and and you're really gonna love it when you see it, I promise. I feel unsafe. I don't think anybody blames you for that, Alison. I think you've officially scared Mark a little bit because of you, because it wasn't supposed to be like that. She was supposed to see it on our date, and now you ruined it and everybody knows it. I'm supposed to show him this book and

he was supposed to just be so happy to see it. Yeah, Alison, you know what. I'm sorry that up for you. Thank you for the apology, but that doesn't change anything, Alison. In your mind, how was this going to play out exactly? He was going to fall in love with you after you gave him a book. Who do you think you are? That is exactly what was supposed to happen, Oh honey, don't don't know? Honey, mean you know this was a genius plan and you're just upset because you didn't think

about it. What there's so many things wrong with this? How dare you spoil this for me? I don't know. Hey, hey, Alison, you made me look and everything Allison. I know that you're upset, but I haven't even asked if Mark would go out with you again, Like the whole thing might not be ruined. Mark, would you like to go out with Alison again on a second date? We'll pay for it. No, it's because of you. You did that. I'm sorry. I

apologize Alison. I think Allison's gone, Oh my gosh, we're gonna get another photo book sent to the station, Jewel, but it's going to be all of you with your eyes crossed out. I'm scared for my safety and Mark. I think you might need to find a new job and a new town. I think calling you, guys might have literally saved my life. I think you're right. In the morning text in at seven eight, five nine too, it says, way to go, guys, you just ruined the love of her life Jewel in the morning. I know

it's kind of our thing. We tend to do that. We're talking about today's second date update. In case you missed it, this dude Mark wanted to call a co worker sort of that he went out with. Her name was Alison. They had a good time, but when we got her on the phone, we found out the reason

she wasn't calling him back. She also is very into Mark, very and she wasn't calling him back because she was making a photo collage of their lives, not their lives together because I've only been on one date, but their lives before they met, so that she could give it to him and say, now our lives are changing and we'll create our own collage. And Mark thought it was weird. We thought it was weird, and then she freaked out

on us because we ruined her chances. And yeah, I mean, my personal opinion, even if you're dating for like a year or photo collages are kind of like, yeah, questionable. You know, photocollages anytime are kind of creepy no matter what, Like you could have been together your whole life. Like, let's say you've been together fifty years and then your wife comes down, she's like, look what I made. I made a photo collage in the last fifty years. You're like, go,

time to get a divorce. You probably not something that you're like, yay, I've been waiting for this photo collage like yeah, yeah, So she ended up hanging up on us. They're not going out again, and she's super mad. Not because he thought the photo collage was weird. She's super mad because us getting the information out of her ruined her chance dances at a lifetime of happiness with Mark. We had a surprise coming man, and it was definitely

a surprise. Well we just lost a listener, guys. Yeah, Well, I'm assuming she'll probably be all right because she sounds like the kind of person to the next dude she meets and goes on a date with. We'll also be having a collage mate, so she'll be all right. She will find love. Remember, if you want to do a second date update, all you have to do is email the show and we will call the person who didn't call you back. Movement ninety two point five
