Second Date Update. You know what might be the most important date of your entire life?

It's the first date after you get out of a long-term relationship.

Oh, yeah, it's a rebound.

That's not important. It's just like, will it lead to the bedroom?

No.

The way I'm getting over the last time.

No, it's like you see how out of it you've been, you know? The thing is, if that date ends up being a bad one, you could end up swearing off romance forever. That's true, actually. You're giving it one date after a breakup? Are you not patient? It doesn't have to be perfect. It doesn't even have to be good. You just hope it doesn't go horribly, horribly wrong and blow up in your face.

I get that. But unfortunately, that's what happened to one of our listeners, Krista. And before she makes the decision to give up on men forever, she's reached out to us for a little bit of help. So Krista, first of all, welcome to the show.

Hi, good morning. Hi. That is a heavy welcome, Krista. Now, if you had such a bad date, why do you want to call this guy back? Okay, well, I have to explain, though, because it's not really a bad date with this guy. Okay. Give us the rundown. Tell us what happened. Okay, So I was in a two-year relationship. That's over. I'm newly single. Like, I'm on apps, like, a few apps. Yeah. So I matched with this guy on Tinder. His name's Paxton. I'm like, okay. Great. Fine. I'm trying to judge him by his name.

I mean, it's hard not to, though. Everybody had an image in your head as soon as you said Paxton. He was definitely a prom king. Yeah, yeah, yeah, frat boy, maybe. Yeah, no, I could tell right away. Like, he's super douchey. He's a Paxton. Okay. Is that a good thing? No. He talked about himself the whole time. Like, when he kept using the trip going, boy, he's. Oh, God. Oh, God. How long did it last? How long were you on this date for? It sounds terrible. Why do I like him? Well, he was talking about, like, these hot women he's hooked up with.

Of course he was. He's like, oh, but you're not like them. But that's a good thing. Like the hot part or the hookup part? Yeah, wait a minute. The hot part. Oh, what a D bag. Oh, God. That's awful. That's awful. Yeah, you're really like natural looking.

What do you say to that?

I just stared at them. I was like, what's that? You know, and then, like, he had some shots in front of him. He's like, oh, I'm going to want to get more drinks. And then he goes, more drinks, buddy, or whatever. Boe! I like him. Did you just leave? I mean, like, I'm not up for, like, ghosting somebody on a date, but this guy sounds terrible. It sounds like an eye roll. Yeah. So what happened next? Well, it gets worse. I mean, so I watch him go to the bar, and he's hitting on his other girl. He's talking to this other girl and he's laughing. What? I love that. Yeah. What a tool? He gets a wine, a white wine, like, looks like what I'm drinking. And he hands it to that girl. What? Oh my gosh. He bought her your drink. Tell me you left at this point. Yeah. No, at that point, I'm like, well, do I leave or do I start a drink in his face?

Like, how dramatic do I want to be here?

Ooh. Yeah. How dramatic do I want to be here? Super dramatic. What'd you go with? Well, I look over to him and he just gives me this shrug, like puts his hands in the air like, what am I going to do?

He's hot.

What?

Stupid, Baxter.

Yeah, boy.

Yeah.

Girlfriend.

Yeah. me to shrug, like, puts his hands in the air, like, what am I going to do? She's hot. What?
