Speaker 2 (00:18):
Okay, so we've met on HMS. Yes, and he went
out twice actually, and she's going to take me for
dinner and drink, which wasn't our standard and quite knight.
And then the second time I invited him over for
wine on a movie and I just hot. This is
such a man, you know, it's just a real guy's guy.
And he's exactly what I'm looking for. So he's not

(00:39):
ghosted me, and I just don't know why.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
So what are we talking about? Like a man? Like
he comes over and he's like hairy and sweaty and
like has a like a beer like the BROWNI man, like,
where's flam? I mean, what's your definition? I'm trying to
visualize what this is. He's just a dude.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Well, he's yeah, this.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Guy's guy, you know, he's just like banily and he's
strong and okay, yeah, he was cool.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Okay, all right, So you having a great time, you
felt a connection two dates. That's pretty good for a
dating app, and so things. We're heading somewhere, except now
he's not responding to you at all. I assume you've
reached out, you've called, you've tried to get a hold
of him.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yeah, he's not replying. I'm not answering.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
We'll call him right now. Good luck.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
Hello?

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Hi is this Clayton? Yeah, Clayton, good morning Fred from
the Fred's show The Whole Cruise Here. I have to
tell you that we are on the radio right now
and I need you permission to continue with the call.
Can we talk for a couple of minutes?

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Of course?

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Thank you so much for calling on behalf of a
woman named Maria who says she met you on Hinge
and you went on two dates. Do you remember her?

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Yeah? I remember Maria.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Okay, well, what what happened? Because she told us that
she liked you and felt a connection and was excited
to meet you and wanted to go out with you
again for a third date. But you're not responding to
her at all, she says, so can you tell us why?

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (02:08):
I mean, she was great and all like she's really
nice and everything, but I think she was looking for
more of a handyman than like a like a partner
and all of this.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
A handyman like is a role playing thing, like she
wanted you to show up in a tool bell to
like what what are we talking? Or like physically she
wanted you to fix stuff she wanted.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Me to fix us. We had the first eight.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
That one great.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
We agreed to a second one, which was at her house.
Like not even five minutes after I get there, she
pulls out this list of stuff that she needs done
around her house, like light bulbs, yeah, I like, hanging pictures,
checking some appliances, and but I was just like this is.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Funny, man Like what so five end of the date
she expects you to do maintenance around her home? O,
hold on, And I forgot to mention that she's here.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
It wasn't that many things.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (02:56):
It wasn't that there shouldn't be anything. The guys a
guess in your home, like.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
To feel needed.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
You know that's true. Yeah, but why don't you ask
him if he wants to feel needed or if he
wants to just get to know you. He didn't come
over to your house to fix your dryer.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
You ask someone if they want to feel needed, you
make them feel needed when you need them.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, but he doesn't have to do that. That's boyfriend's stuff.
You're dating. Neto's a test to us. See, you know,
if he could do these things on a regular this
is a painting party. I'm not having you over with
beer and pizza to paint my house, you know. And
telling you that, I mean, you could have said to him, hey,
would you mind coming over because I need this stuff.
You could have said that to him, and then he

(03:35):
could have had the option. And but you standed him
a list of things you.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Like it broken?

Speaker 2 (03:43):
So I didn't want to cook anything. If easier to.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Just order him, do you make him fix the Garvera's
disposal to Yeah, under the sink, that's a whole that
would have been okay, by the way, that's a whole
different thing, all right. I don't think it's cool. I
think you're using him. It sounds like you're using him.
I would feel used.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
I'm not using him. Her work is done now, I's
still want to see him.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
You got more more light bulbs out? I know al
needs moments. I think you did this right, I really don't.
I don't really blame him, Clayton. Okay, so let's say
she doesn't give you a honeydew list the next time
you come over for your third date, Uh, would you
consider going out with her again?

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Honestly no, because it really felt like I was just
being used for, you know, my knowledge and things, and
I for replacing all that stuff. It would have been
one thing if it was just like, oh no, this
light bulber, this one thing, can you mind helping me
out because I just need assistance with it? But it
was just so much stuff and it's found to happen again.
So no, thank you.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
You shouldn't have to go to her. You shouldn't go
to her house and expect to be served. And if
it's like, oh my gosh, this light bulb is, how
can you help me? She handed a list to you? Yeah,
I mean come on.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
So I don't really blame him, But anyway, guys, best
of luck to both of you. Thank you for your time.
