Put in the Loop Singles dot Com today Rooking Jewels, second dat ud Do you ever have one of those moments you say something and you just wish you could suck the words right back into your mouth because you know it was wrong. Yes, and especially happens a lot in the dating world. I know, I was out on
a date once with this girl. We've been dating for a long time, A long time, like a couple of years at that point, and I was like, I love you. And I was like, oh no, don't say that. Can we just go back in time and forget that? I said that. Things like that happen all the time. Dave, who was on the phone and wants to do a second date update today, had a similar problem on his date. Dave, how you doing, Hey, guys, what's going on? Not much?
So tell us a little bit about your date. Well, I met this girl named Reese on a dating app and we chatted onlines a little bit and we decided to go on a date and we went out for dinner I wanted to make it like an early dinner, sort of keep it open ended in case things were going really well. You were planning ahead of time, just in case you could take her back to your place. Well, I wouldn't say that, but you kind of just did.
Then let's go to dinner. There's this cute place right around the corner from my house, so in case we have a little too much, we can just walk back to my house. I mean, no big deal, right, that was I wouldn't I wouldn't say that. That wasn't on my mind. At least you're honest. Yeah, so you know, it was just like, I'm not only going further than a stone throw from my place. So did the night end like you had hoped? Um? It didn't go badly.
I had a really really good time. We had a really good time at dinner, and I think I did pick the right kind of place that you would have light. But there was a funny thing that happened that I
feel like threw everything off of the night. Was that before we ordered food, I asked her what she was thinking of getting, and she mentioned that she was thinking about getting an appetizer, a salad, and the main course okay, And I said, I, this is such a stupid, stupid thing to say it, but I said, wow, it's refreshing to meet a girl that isn't afraid to eat like one of the guys. That is definitely the wrong thing
to say. Yeah, you're like, oh, it's nice to go with a girl who's not giving an order a salad an act like she never eats. Is that exactly how you said it? Though? It was like it just like I thought I was being funny. And as soon as I said that, I like, there was just this dead silence at the table and I was immediately trying to just eat my words. But oh, man, so how did she react after you said that? Well, she just kind of stared at me and she rolled her eyes and said, well,
I'll just order a salad. Then did she just order a salad? Then she eventually she got the salad and the course, but we skipped the appetite. Man, you ordered the appetizer for her at that point and then eat it in front of her. You don't get any because you punked out on the appetizer. I went to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror, and I was just like, what what am I going to do? Did you take a chance to laugh at yourself? A
little bit? Definitely after the fact, but immediately I was embarrassed and apologetic and stuck my foot in my mouth essentially. Did she seem cool after that? You know, it took me some time, but I feel like I kind of roped her back in m know, by the time, by the time her food got there, she was laughing at my jokes again. And so you guys were back like on a good level after that. It wasn't like she just shut down and ended the date. We were having
really good conversation, just back and forth. But it's just I made this one slip up and I couldn't get it off my mind as soon as I said it. Yeah, if I had said that during a day, I'd be like, I just screwed everything up. You want to end it now, because I could pay and we get you to go box for all the food you just ordered and we can go her separate ways. How did everything end with her? Well, what happened was I said, like I was planning to do you want to go back to my place? And
she said she wouldn't be able to tonight. So I ended up just driving her home and she said I had a really good time and that was it. Yeah, of course she couldn't go back to your place. She was too full, didn't want to get naked. No kiss or anything. No, no, no kiss nothing. Then did you make plans to go out again? That's the thing. I've called her a couple of times and she just said that she's busy. Like if she'd made it clear, I
would leave her alone. Okay, So instead you want to call her on our show and ask her in front of I don't know at least ten people who are listening, why she's not calling you back. That seemed like a pretty solid idea to all right, well we'll play a song, come back, call her and get your second date update. All right, okay, good, all right, hang on frooking Jubil in the morning. Se Dave is on the phone with us today and he wants to do a second date
update with a girl named Reese. They met on a dating app, went out for dinner, and he thinks the reason that she's not calling him back he's During dinner, there was an awkward point where she was like, I want an appetizer, a salad and a main course, and apparently he made a crack like, whoa, it's nice to go out with a girl about such a healthy appetite, and then he started going se feeding time and then making hog noises at her right across the table, which
I thought was really a bold move on your part. Dave. Yeah, he just started doing all that kind of stuff, like somehow he got a triangle. He was ringing it like a dinner bell. I don't know how you did all that, Dave. Yeah, it's right, you forgot. You forgot. I took a little bell out and tie that around her neck, so I forgot about that part, James. Dave essentially did that because he sort of made fun of her for eating a lot. What did you What did you say to her? Again?
I said, all I said was it's refreshing to meet a girl that isn't afraid to eat like one of the guys. And that's the reason that Dave thinks she's not calling him back is because he think, yeah, I mean, I think it is too. But after that moment, she got a little awkward, and then he feels like he got her back on track and she was laughing at the end of the date and everything seemed cool, but she will not go out with him again, so he is pretty much assuming that's the reason. Yep, all right,
I'm gonna doll the phone him right now. Get her on the phone and get your second day up date. Okay, okay, okay, thank you? Hello? Hi, can I speak to Reese please? This is hi Reese. This is Jebil from brook and Jewil in the morning. Like the radio. Yep, it is the radio calling you. I am the radio. Wait what Yeah, you recently went out on a date with a guy named Dave. Dave told us a little bit about your date. He also said that you have been kind of blowing him off, so he asked us to get you on
the phone and find out if there's something wrong with Dave. Okay, is there? Um? I'm just I'm not really that interested in going on another date with him. It was it was the one time thing? Was it the fact that Dave made a crack about how much food you were ordering? You know what? That should have been my first warning sign. There was almost a deal breaker. But yeah, he told us a little bit about your date, and he said that he felt really bad when he made that joke. Yeah,
he should have. So you just said almost a deal breaker. Yeah, it's probably should have been. It should have been like heads up to me that no. So was there a deal breaker on the date then, I mean, yeah, definitely there there was. And it happened right after dinner. Oh. Interesting, Dave didn't tell us that anything happened after dinner other
than he took you back to your car and he left. Honestly, I don't think he's even aware of it, to be honest, really, so do you mind telling us what it was, just so we can let him know. Well, so they bring over the check, right, and that can sometimes be awkward, but he picks it right up and clearly wants to pay, and I'm like, okay, that's that's really nice. And I happened to just like peek over his shoulder at the amount and he vote in zero dollars for the tip.
He was like, let's let's hut out. I could not. I was like, wait, what's happening. This is not how you any dinner? So he stiffed the waiter. He didn't tip at all. Yeah, I was so confused. I was like, I have to ask him about this obviously, and so I was like, did they screw up your meal? Like what happened? You know? Like, what's up? Yeah? And he goes, no, No, what are you talking about? Everything's good? Okay? Do you
think that he forgot to tip? Well? I said, look, I happened to see that you didn't tip, and he just goes, oh, right, Oh, it's because I don't believe in tipping. What really? Tipping isn't a belief system that you bee. It is for some people. There are people out there who don't believe in tipping and don't it won't tip. So he's one of those guys apparently. I guess what was his Did he give you a reasoning? Did you talk about it some more? Or was that
just it? I'll be honest, I was so livid at this point, but I did press him a little bit more. I was like, what do you mean don't believe in it? And he just goes like, oh, well, restaurant should pay the servers like the right amount they should. But that's not the real world. Listen. I used to be a waitress. Yeah, I worked in food service for a long time too, and I would be super pissed if I went out with somebody they didn't tip, oh man, And honestly, our
waiter was like great, totally like normal, great guy. And I just like, I remember what the experience is like if someone doesn't shift you, you just get like I just felt like my how like eared get hot? And just so like what did I do wrong? And why would somebody like so? It's just disrespectful? Do you think you could tell that you were upset about it? I tried to hide it, like I did not want to get into a fight with a guy that I don't really know that well on the first date. I personally
can't stand it when people don't tip. I'd love to get in a fight with Dave. Wouldn't you just like to tell him off a little bit? I mean honestly I did, but I would like the best way to handle this, just like to put it behind me. What if I gave you the opportunity to tell him off? What what are you talking about? Oh? I mean that Dave's actually on the other line listening to talk to you. Oh my god, are you serious, Harry? Is it really such a big deal? But I don't tip. Yes, it's
a really big deal. It's like you're not a human being. You don't respect other people. Sorry, but that is what it is. And I'm are we just getting into person like personal attacks right now. I like, I can't believe this is even a thing. Do you not understand how if you're dating, Like, do you not understand that I used to be a waitress? Somebody doesn't be a waitress? Like it's it says, I can see that you've been
brainwashed by this thing. Oh my god, I don't know if you guys know this tipping is a total scam, sam my god, what like your money is going to go straight to the server, Like most servers don't even claim that on their taxes. So yeah, most don't. But that's how they make a living is by tips. It's not my responsibility to tip them. It's like they should, they should make more money from their job. It's a restaurant.
Learn to pay them. That's a lesson, well taught. So you think that you're doing that, and in the meantime, just every single person who works in the industry just gets like completely short and just because you don't believe well in a way, it's like a battle one one step at a time, like this is something the restaurants need to learn. So you feel like you not tipping is taking a stand against the man, and you're gonna force restaurants somehow to pay their staff more if you
don't tip. Absolutely. Oh no, my god, it's why is this anything? Like in Europe they don't tip. You See why I am not going to go out with this guy again. Dave? Are you this cheap in every aspect of your life or just in tipping? I'm not cheap? Like, like, why is why is this such a big deal to you people? Because it's what we do here in America? Is we tip? And he says everything extra money to people who don't deserve it, and it just says everything
about who you are and the way you treat other people. Yeah, google this. There are blog posts and news sites that are devoted this subject. This is a scam and there's no reason that this industry should be supportive. Okay, God, he seems normal, but he's a crazy person. This is totally crazy. I can't believe I'm having this conversation. I'm sorry. Hey, Dave, you know what, I'm sure you have a fabulous blog
set up about your views on tipping. I'm going to respectfully disagree with you, though, sir, but I will ask Reese if she'd like to go on a second date with you. Reese, would you like to go out with Dave again? No, I'll throw in the tip. Don't worry about that. Very funny in the morning.
