Second Date Update PODCAST: Target Date

to talk about this. Her name is Lucia. She's on the phone right now, and apparently, yeah, for her first date, her and this guy went to Target. Lucia, how you doing, I'm good? How are you? Oh? My god? Did you like go on your date and then come back with the best curtains and that candle that you didn't know that you needed when you love Target? No, that's not what happened. That's why it takes seventeen hours to go there. We have such good stuff, Lucia, How does one go

on a first date to Target? Anyway? Well, in my situation, the guy's name is Terrence. I met him at a work function and he asked me out, and I said yes. So I waited a few days and hit him up and said, hey, I'm going to Target. Do you want to come? And he said he Yet, that's impressive because you decide like, ah, you know, I'm super busy today.

May we go to dinner or something sometime? Well, I feel like, you know, dinner, you know, pressure, it comes to dinner and it's like then you gotta think what you're going to talk about, and he's the whole thing. Well, how was the date at Target? I thought the date went really really well. We had a lot of fun. We looked at quote, and then I suggested that we go to the movies, which was next door. Okay, okay, So then you turned it into like a legit date.

You didn't just go shopping for a half hour. You guys did the movie too. Well, that's what I do. I invite a guy to Target. If I like enough, then you know we'll continue after a Target, go see a movie. You said, this is what I do. Does that mean you take all of your dates to Target? Yes, Well, I've never heard of anybody taking a date to Target. Ever. Well, when you're dating someone, you're trying to find out what you have in common. And when you go to a

restaurant it takes about hour. It takes much longer. So if you go to Target, you can figure that out like fifteen minutes. I guess. Yeah. You could tell what kind of stuff they want to see, where they want to shop, what kind of clothes they like. You do all that. That's what I'm telling you. I think it's awesome. If someone doesn't like Target, then you know right away it's not going to work. I will say, there's a lot of opportunity for good conversation starters, right exactly? Do

you see things that stark your interest? Hey? Do you have this in your house? Hey? Oh funny, Sorry I burnt something on using that iron? You know. I mean people some people meet at Starbucks to see if the conversations over coffee, you just like to do it over Massimo or whatever. So did you guys end him going to the movie? No, he said that he has to go because he didn't have any time. Oh so he wasn't feeling it. Then, Well I believed him, But then when I hit him up a few days later, he

never responded. So he hasn't said anything to you since your Target experience. No, did he seem bored or did he seem fully engaged in having fun? I know when we got to the DVD section, we had a bunch of laughs there. I don't know, I was talking about all the different kinds of movies you've seen. Yeah, I thought it was a good date. Do you think he thought it was a date or he was just hanging out with his new friend at Target? Well, I mean, here's the thing. He asked me out, so I feel

like he knew it was a date. Yeah, But did he ask you out to go somewhere and then you just texted him and we're like, I'm about to go to Target in an hour. You want to join me? Yes? Okay, that doesn't because if I were him, I'd be like, oh, she doesn't really want to date me, she just sort

of wants to be friends or something. But then he'd still say yes to the movie at the end, right, I don't know, not necessarily, because I might think, Hey, is this my buddy, and now she wants to go see a movie and we're gonna sit there and share popcorn, maybe not even share popcorn. So you think that he thinks that I just want to be friends. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, what possibility is that could be one

of the reasons why he's not calling you back. Well, I made it clear on my text messages that I'd like to go out with him again, so I don't really know how that would be the case. Okay, And he said nothing back to you at all. Nothing. How many times have you try to get a hold of him. I mean I don't want to, you know, stock him and scare him off, but I mean a few times. Okay, Well, we'll play a song, come back, call him and get your second date update. All right, Okay, thank you, looking

jubil in the morning. We are actually learning something from today's second date update, and that's that dating has changed. No longer is it dinner. You should take your first date to a department store. That's right. You just walk around a place like Target, and you take him over to the home furnishing sections and go, oh, look some Martha Stewart collection towels. What do you think about those?

And then you see if they have similar interests. That's what Lucia did on her first date, and apparently that's what she's been doing for a lot of her first dates. When a guy wants to go out with her. She'll hit him up and be like, Hey, I'm going to Target. They want to come with me? And if they seem like they have a lot in common and they like the same things at Target, then she'll be like, let's go to the movies or something after and continue the date.

If not, then she just splits and goes like, yeah, that guy's a jerk. And her most recent target date is a guy named Terence that she met at a work function. They went and hung out at Target. She really liked him. She invited him to the movies after he said, oh, I gotta go, and he hasn't talked to her ever since. All right, Lucia, are you ready to call him and see why he's not getting back to you. I'm ready, Lucia. Could I ask you what's your success rate with the target test? Well, that's how

I met my last boyfriend. Okay, all right, Well I'm about to dial Terrence's phone number. See if we get him on the phone and find out why he's not calling you back. Okay, Okay, here we go. Hello, Hi, can I speak to Terrence? Please? Is it Terrence? Hey Terrence? How are you? This is Jewil from Brook and Jewil in the Morning. Sorry from what Brooke and Jewil in the Morning. It's a radio show. Okay, okay, how you doing.

I don't understand why are you calling me. I'm calling you because you recently went out on a date with one of our listeners and they're wondering why you're not calling them back. So you're doing a show about it. Yeah, Well, it's a segment we do on our show called the Second Date Update. You recently went on a date with a girl named luc Yeah. Okay, Well, Lucia emailed us and told us about your little Target experience, and she says that she's asked you out a few times after that,

and you just aren't responding to herself. She's wondering if you didn't want to see her again, or she did something wrong on your date. Well, I mean you call a date like walking around Target and like shopping, you know, just like getting the stuff. By the way, I want to point out I told her how weird it sounds to take somebody on a date to Target. Yeah, but if you don't like a person, why are you going to agree to go hang out with him at Target?

Like you liked her at the beginning of this, Well, I mean yeah, and she's like cool and she's really cute, you know, which is like, I mean, I'm like a really simple dude. I'm you know, I'm down to hang out at Target. I just didn't really know what was what the deal was. You know, we're like walking around.

She's like shopping, you know, like She've got like a towel set and toothpaste and like toilet paste, you know, just like she's like shopping, right, Okay, and I got like some Twizzlers because I love Twizzlers and they have them there, which is great. They have everything totally. But We're like in the checkout line, right and I'm like behind her and she's running all her stuff and it comes out to like ninety six dollars. The checkout person who like tells her the total, and she turns and

looks at me and she says, are you gonna get this? Nah? She had you buy her stuff at Target. I didn't know what to do. What did you do? I paid for it? You paid for her stuff at Target? I mean, well, I don't. I was like what, I didn't know if we wrote a date, I didn't like I thought maybe maybe she's gonna give me cash, you know, like she didn't have any or like pay me, like say I'll write you a check or I'll pay like when shes okay. So when she turned to you and said are you

gonna pay for this? What was your first reaction to her? Because I would have laughed and been like no, I just like we're in line, you know, it's there are people behind us. So I kind of just panicked and I gave the checkout lady my card and she didn't offer to reimburse you at any point, like I forgot my credit card, I'll pay you back later type of situation. I don't even know if she said thank you really, So you feel like she used you to buy her

groceries or something. I don't feel like she used me. She totally used honestly, Like if that's how she is, it was a pretty cheap lesson, you know what I mean. I'm glad that I learned it at the start. Yeah, she says she really likes you. That's the thing. Would you like me if I bought you your grocery? Yeah, I guess you're right. I would. I would really appreciate that. Maybe you should you and I should hang out sometimes,

as you like doing that for people, Jarence. So I also need to let you know that Lucia is actually on the other line listening to this conversation. No way, yeah, yes, I am. Hey, I'm so confused. What's going on right now? I don't understand anything. What are you confused about? You may need to buy your groceries. Well, I thought we were on a date and you were a gentleman, and everybody knows on a first date the gentleman taste. Are they pay, Lucia, They don't normally pay for your groceries

at Target? Yes they do. That's how I found my last boyfriend, and other guys don't seem to have a problem. It just sounds like you're using men to just pay for your lifestyle. No, it was a first date. He should have paid, you know, he would have paid the same amount for dinner. We just got toweled and stuff. Thing on a on a date, like you both do something together, like you and you both have is we did and this is different because I'm just buying yourself.

You know. We spend time together like that was part of the date. We have fun together. We spent time that's what you do. And I shared stories with you, see sharing, I sharing, and the guy pays on a first date. Are you joking with this? Right now? Look? I have taken plenty of guys to Target and they don't seem to have an issue. Well, they don't have an issue because you probably never hear from them again. No, they're just different. You're cheap and they're not. I mean,

this is what I'm up against. No, No, I don't think I'm what I'm This is what happens. This is what has worked for me in the past. And I thought I genuinely thought he was a nice guy. Okay, Natalie, I was wrong. Yeah. Not only that, but you're the one that asked him out. So even if you guys were going to dinner, you should have been the one paid.

I mean that's kind of the general rule. Right. Well, No, technically he asked me out on the first date, okay, right, and then happen to be going to Target and you made that date Target, and you thought he should have been a gentleman and paid for your first date at Target exactly. So I'm completely innocent in all this. I mean, it was the first date. He should have paid yea, Lucia. Lucia, you're exactly right, and I'm sorry that he's overreacting about that.

Thank you, you're welcome, and I'm sorry she's going to take you seriously. She should take me seriously, Lucia. Yes, he is right, Lucia, But would you like to go out with him again? Though? We'll pay for a second date wherever you want to go Walmart. Even before I would have said yes, but not now. Really, no, I'm not interested in going out with someone who doesn't know proper etiquette for our first seat. And I think you're

completely justified, Lucia. Okay, thank you, you're welcome. Well, I don't want to go out with him, but you guys, I mean for participating. I wouldn't mind to gift cards. You want the dinner even though you're not getting a second day. Well, this has been very stressful, it has been, Lucia. No, Lucia, you're right, this has been stressful for you. And he was kind of a jerk about the whole thing. I'm sorry, Terrice,

but you were he was. So you know what, I'm gonna put you on hold and then I'm gonna get you a bunch of gift cards. Okay, yeah, you're welcome. Hang on the phone. Okay, okay, love you guys too. Dude, you are not aking thing better that nothing. I just want to do more second day updates with her. I know we're going to get more. Text in at seven, eight, five nine two says thanks a lot. I just punched my radio. I think I may have broken my hand.

A smart move. Talking about the second date update in case you missed it, Lucia wanted to call a guy named Terence. They went out on a date to Target, of all places, and she made him pay for everything that she wanted from Target. She's smart though. It was a cute date, but I would like someone to take me on a date to Target. Yeah. She basically thought, you know, hey, we were going on a date. You're the guy you're supposed to pay. Just pay for all

my stuff at Target. She pretty much just used him to go on a Target trip. Yeah, that's so interesting, and wanted to go out with him again, probably so he could buy more things at Target or maybe head on over to Walmart. Who knows, probably left some stuff off her list, and he decided not to go out with her again. Surprisingly, everybody on the text message board at seven eight five nine two hates this woman from today second date update. I don't know. I thought it

was a beauty, full story. You remember. If you want to do a second day update, all you have to do is email the show and we will call the person who didn't call you back
