It's Marcus in the morning. We are back with it. It's second date update. Let's bring our guy Dominic on. Dominic, are you there? Yeah, I'm here. Hello. Do you prefer Dominic or just Dom or Big D? I don't know.

Yeah, I mean, my good friends call me Dom. My parents call me Dominic, but, you know, either way, you call me Dom. That's cool.

Very good. All right, so I want to talk about your date with Aria, and we're figuring out that maybe she ghosted based on what has transpired since. Tell me about meeting her. Like, you guys met online, but, like, in person, how did it go?

Yeah, I thought it went great. You know, we went out to dinner. We went over to Sunnyvale for dinner, and I think, I don't know why she's ghosted me, but I thought the conversation went really well. It was a very natural conversation. We were laughing. I like her sense of humor. We kind of, you know, hit it off. She's the type of person that, like, makes you feel comfortable immediately. Okay. Like, she's not intimidating, very, like, I mean, I guess this is a weird word to use, but, like, normal, you know, very normal, like, very comfortable.

My guy's been dating for a while. You've been in the pool for a while. I just want normal.

I just want normal, man. She was normal. We talked about traveling. We talked about childhood stuff, like, just normal stuff. Okay. After we, you know, had dinner and stuff, I walked her to her car, and I thought, like, we were clearly heading to, like, date number two.

Okay.

And now I don't know what's wrong. I don't know why she's not getting in touch with me. I don't know why she's not, like, hitting me back. I have no idea.

We're about to call Aria on behalf of Dominic. Dom, are you there? I'm ready. Let's get this done. Go ahead and mute your phone. We're going to call her and try to figure out why she ghosted. Here we go. Okay.

yes i listen every morning oh my god does my caller id come up 800-800-101-3 must be marcus

how you doing i mean do you know why you're here do you know why i'm here

i mean i listen every morning hi dominic this is wild

well welcome to second date update everyone dominic are you there i am here yeah i was muted but hi i mean oh okay aria's got us all all odd blast i'm guessing you want to know

what happened right did you did you ghost let's be real everything started off great started off very normal but there was just some things like some small stuff

such as give me like one thing

I noticed that Dominic doesn't really blink like much

you mean like physically

it almost felt robotic it was just weird I just thought he was being attentive and like I was even flattered that he was saying like that but then after like 10 minutes it started to feel like

i was being like studied so let me make sure i got this right you're saying he doesn't

blink normally no no it felt it felt creepy how does he do it i mean it was like this extended eye contact like almost like a staring competition he like holds it and then he blinks once like super slow, and then he holds it again.

I was making eye contact, though. Isn't that, like, a good thing?

It was creepy.

Wow. Creepy, yeah. I was just trying to be present in the moment. Like, I wasn't looking at my phone, you know? I was trying to just be there focusing on you.

It didn't feel engaging. It felt more like you were trying to, like, analyze me. Okay.

So it weirded you out a little bit.

Yeah, yeah. Okay.

Was that it, though? That's why you ghosted?

Well, there's more. Oh, okay. Because this is a thing that got weird. Because I was like, okay, maybe I can get used to the staring. But it was the other thing that came after that. So midway through dinner, we were talking about past relationships. Not a good idea. I don't think we should bring up a past. But you know what? It worked here. Dominic admitted that he had his location sharing turned on with his ex. Like, they never disabled it. He checks it occasionally just to see where she is, you know? Like, it's more, it's not emotional. it's more informational kind of things and i i just feel like that was that was off like i don't know what to say or how to feel about that dominic is this for real i don't like text

her or nothing like i don't talk to her i just sometimes i pull it up just to see like where she's at or whatever's going on whatever whatever you know but i don't like talk to my ex okay yeah but that's kind of like icky you know like it's it's your ex i mean it's kind of like instagram everybody checks instagram it's no different instagram's public this is more like intimate

like having somebody's location it's kind of stalkish like you're stalking her for what this

is your ex again i'm not like texting her and i'm trying to be like transparent like i'm not

hiding anything i appreciate you not hiding it but that's that's just like not normal all right

But, I mean, I just want to make sure I got this straight. So I got ghosted for having strong eye contact and for not deleting a setting. No, no, no.

You're ghosted because you stared through me and you trapped your ex in real time. That's just weird.

Hey, you guys, hang on one sec. Hang on, hang on. Aria, are you there?

Yes.

That was weird.

Tell me about it. I felt like I had no personal space and I was on the other side of the line. Imagine in person.

I hear you. I hear you. I'm going to let him go. You're fine. You're great. Thank you for listening. You're like my number one hype lady.

I love it. 800-800-1013. Let's go, Marcus.

All right, hang on. The vibes I need on a Monday.
