00:08I feel like he has thought this through, but maybe overthought this date.
00:12Do you feel that way?
00:13I don't really feel that way.
00:15I love his confidence.
00:16I mean, they were hanging out watching football, and he just straight up asked her right then
00:20and there, hey, you want to go on a date?
00:21And she said yes right away.
00:23So I think she likes him, and he liked her right away.
00:27So there's obviously an attraction.
00:29I guess.
00:30I mean, I think that's where it starts.
00:31But then when we talked to him, I felt like he was like, well, I tried to do this, and
00:34I tried to do that.
00:35And I was like, did you get in your own head?
00:37And he goes, sometimes I get in my own head.
00:38So I don't know.
00:39But he sounded like a nice guy.
00:40So maybe that helped him.
00:41Maybe he did think it through a little bit.
00:43So let's do this.
00:44We are going to try to call Monica because she has not gotten back to him since their date.
00:48Let's do it.
00:58Hello?
01:12Hi, this is Monica.
01:13Yes.
01:13Who's this?
01:14Hey, Monica.
01:15This is J.R., Lana, and Kevin over here at 99.5 QIK, Tampa Bay's morning crew.
01:20Um, oh my, what?
01:22Good morning.
01:23How are you doing?
01:24Good morning.
01:25What is this?
01:26Hi.
01:27Well, if you've heard our show, you may have heard us do something called a 715 second date
01:32update.
01:33Oh my God, no.
01:34This is my worst nightmare.
01:37Oops.
01:38If dating.
01:39Oh my gosh.
01:39I listen to this all the time.
01:41I can't believe this.
01:43Well, like I always say, it's about that time right now.
01:45And we are calling you because if it's okay with you, we want to talk to you on the air
01:50for a minute, actually, about a date you went on.
01:52Would that be okay?
01:53Oh my gosh.
01:55Uh, yeah, I guess.
01:56I mean, I know how this works.
01:58Oh my gosh.
01:59All right.
02:00Well, I appreciate that.
02:01We wanted to talk to you about Justin.
02:03He told us you guys met through some mutual friends.
02:05He asked you out.
02:07He said, you said yes.
02:08And you guys went to the Cheesecake Factory.
02:10And I'll tell you what, when I talked to him, he sounded like he really was careful with
02:14what happened on the date.
02:15He thought it through.
02:16He's now been rethinking about it, uh, trying to play it over in his head, trying to figure
02:19out what's going on because he has not heard anything from you since the date.
02:24What's going on, Monica?
02:25He totally embarrassed me.
02:27Uh-oh.
02:28What'd he do?
02:28I mean, he seemed like a nice guy, but at one point he got up to go to the restroom.
02:34He came back.
02:35And like five minutes later, the entire staff is singing happy birthday to me with a cake.
02:40Oh, how sweet.
02:42It was not my birthday.
02:45Oh my goodness.
02:47Yeah.
02:47That's awesome.
02:49No, you wouldn't ask a girl on a date, first date when it's her birthday, Lana.
02:52That's true.
02:52No, I was completely mortified.
02:57I did not like it at all.
02:59I don't like it when it's my actual birthday.
03:01So I definitely didn't like it not being my birthday.
03:04Right.
03:05You know, I just, I don't know.
03:07I think it's weird.
03:08Well, I think that's kind of funny.
03:09It shows he has a sense of humor.
03:11I mean, I would probably laugh.
03:12I mean, afterwards, though, people are coming to our table.
03:15They're telling me happy birthday.
03:17First of all, we're laughing because, you know, after the fact, it just sounds funny to hear this story.
03:22But I'm like you.
03:23The fact that even if it is my birthday, I do not like that type of attention.
03:26No.
03:27Did he try to explain to you like, hey, I was just messing around.
03:30Like, what was, what was, what did you say to him after this happened?
03:34No, when we left, I was like, hey, why did you do that?
03:38And he's like, well, we got a free dessert and desserts at Cheesecake Factory are amazing.
03:41So, yeah, what's the big deal?
03:44And I was like, it's a big deal because you completely embarrassed me.
03:48Like, why didn't you just pay for the dessert?
03:50Like, why do you take advantage of the free dessert?
03:53I thought it was rude and very weird.
03:55Yeah, but some of those slices for cheesecake are like 17 bucks.
03:59Oh, my gosh.
03:59Lana, where are you from?
04:01I'm crying out loud.
04:01Jeez.
04:02Is that what you do every time you go somewhere, Lana?
04:04Is it say it's your birthday so you get a free dessert?
04:06No, but I think it's funny.
04:08On a first date.
04:10It shows that he has a sense of humor and he's spontaneous.
04:13Yeah, but.
04:13Okay, listen, I'm not trying to be uptight, but you're putting someone on the spot on a first date.
04:18That's kind of a tough thing, especially someone like Monica who does not want that type of attention.
04:22I know, but I can totally see you doing something like that, JR.
04:25Oh, for sure.
04:26And here's the deal.
04:27So I will admit, not on a first date, I will admit that I have done that to buddies, but
04:33that's like in a group of people where it's like, ha, ha, ha, we got your back.
04:36But if you just met someone and you did that to them, I think that would be a little awkward.
04:39I kind of feel where Monica's coming from.
04:41Well, Monica, I mean, I get why that would be a strange thing.
04:44Did he ever apologize or just like he stuck to his guns?
04:47No.
04:47It was hilarious.
04:49Well, listen, here's the deal, Monica.
04:50We actually have Dustin on the phone.
04:51You've heard these before.
04:52You probably knew that.
04:53Yeah, I know.
04:55Oh, wow.
04:57You are a feelings herder.
05:00I'll say that.
05:02Feelings herder.
05:02Feelings herder.
05:04I'm sorry.
05:05I hurt your feelings?
05:07Free cheesecake.
05:08You're going to balk and you're going to stick your nose up to free cheesecake.
05:13A little song and a dance, a little merriment, and you're not, you can't get behind it.
05:20One song, one little, one little jig, and it's going to completely uproot a lovely evening.
05:28That's the deal breaker.
05:30I am.
05:30I am aghast.
05:31I mean, listen.
05:33Dustin.
05:35No, it's more than that.
05:36I think it's a respect thing.
05:38And, like, someone, you know, when you're not picking up on those social cues that, you know, the other person maybe doesn't like what's going on.
05:47Like, I mean, I'm an introvert.
05:49I'm not into that.
05:50I don't know why you would think that's okay.
05:52It's nerve-wracking enough on a first date.
05:54And then to have that, I don't get it.
05:57I suppose, I guess, I just, I didn't take you to be such a big old wet blanket.
06:03Excuse me?
06:04Yeah.
06:05No, you are the problem because you don't put someone on the spot like that, especially when it's someone you don't know.
06:11Exactly like a wet blanket would say.
06:13Oh, my God.
06:14All right, Dustin.
06:15Dustin, let me ask you a question.
06:16Someone who just said that they're an introvert.
06:18Someone who maybe not knows.
06:20I mean, listen, I think it's funny.
06:22Like Lana was saying, I have that sense of humor.
06:23But maybe on a first date when someone's getting to know you, maybe you don't, you know, throw out all your tricks.
06:28Do you understand how someone could probably feel like they even put on the spot a little bit?
06:33What I understand is that you sound like a wet blanket, too.
06:36Wow.
06:37There you are.
06:38I mean, you got to pick your battles, and I just don't think this is worth it.
06:43And honestly, I don't want to be with someone who tries to embarrass me in public.
06:47Frankly, I thought you were cool.
06:49I thought you were someone who I could vibe with and could be spontaneous with as well.
06:54But you and the wet blanket squad over there can just go and get the blankets wet.
07:00I'm not even going to ask, Monica.
07:02You don't need to ask me.
07:03It's okay.
07:04It was nice talking to you guys.
07:05I love the show, but this is not happening for me.
07:08Well, Monica, thank you for coming on with us.
07:11I'm sorry, Dustin, we couldn't make a second date happen for you.
07:14This is what happened.
07:15Now you have some answers, and I wish you luck as well, my friend.
07:18Hey, thanks for letting me on the wet blanket show.
