After dinner in Campbell, Alex thought things were going really well with Monica until she vanished. He told us she was confident, funny, and easy to talk to in that effortless way that feels rare these days. They swapped bad dating app stories, commiserated over dating burnout, and talked honestly about what they’re looking for now. Alex said it felt refreshing… so the silence afterward hit extra hard.

It's Star 101.3. It's Marcus in the Morning. We're back with it. It's Second Date Update. Let's bring our guy Alex on. Good morning, Alex. Hey, guys. Good morning. Hey, man. Everybody kind of knows how this works already. We've been doing it for almost a decade. So Alex got ghosted by a lady named Monica. And you guys went to dinner in Campbell. I got this right so far?

00:01:47 - 00:01:47 | Speaker 7:

Yeah.

00:01:47 - 00:01:51 | Speaker 9:

Okay. Tell us about the date. Let's roll it out. What did you guys do?

00:01:51 - 00:02:29 | Speaker 7:

We match on an app, right? and immediately we start talking and i'm having good vibes of like okay we're getting along and it seems like not like just the personal level but like where we are in life you know with dating and partnership and she was vibing in the same way and to be honest it felt like a breath of fresh air we had a date and it was amazing like sometimes the chemistry when you're Talking on an app doesn't really translate to in person, but this time it did, and it was wonderful. And I really was like, okay, Monica and I have, like, there's, what's the word I'm looking for? Potential. Okay. There's a lot of potential here.

00:02:29 - 00:02:29 | Speaker 9:

Okay.

00:02:29 - 00:02:34 | Speaker 7:

And I'm just kind of confused why it kind of, yeah, now it's gone.

00:02:34 - 00:03:03 | Speaker 9:

All right, well, we're going to get her on the phone. We're going to have you muted. I'm going to try to figure out, A, why did she ghost, and B, can we get a second date, okay? Okay. It's Marcus in the morning. We're doing the second date update. We've got Alex on the phone. We're about to call his date, Monica, who did ghost. They had dinner in Campbell, which is a super cute place to just walk around. I mean, you could have dinner. You could have gelato. You can get into some trouble. I don't know. Katie Blooms. But anyway, Alex, you were saying by your estimation it went well, yes?

00:03:03 - 00:03:04 | Speaker 7:

Oh, yeah, it was me.

00:03:04 - 00:03:05 | Speaker 9:

Okay.

00:03:05 - 00:03:06 | Speaker 7:

A lot of chemistry.

00:03:06 - 00:04:01 | Speaker 9:

Let's call her and see what's up. So go ahead and mute. Here we go. hello hi i'm looking for monica this is monica yes hi monica this is marcus calling from uh star 101.3 the morning show i don't i think you may have the wrong number no no um okay i got your phone number from a guy who you have been on a date with recently and i'm wondering if you have a minute to discuss said date is this about alex it is so alex gave me your phone number he's feeling like you ghosted and i just i'm trying to figure out why would you mind talking about the date on the air yeah i mean that's fine okay sweet did you ghost i did i absolutely did okay

00:04:01 - 00:04:58 | Speaker 6:

what did he do something dumb i mean it started out fine we connected well and whatever but then he started doing something that i couldn't get past okay he started to reframe everything positively even like things that didn't need to be positive is that an issue so like was he was he too was he too explain if i would share something he would be like that's actually a really good problem to have or like he'd say i love that for you that's gross honestly it was just weird and annoying okay you know you want to vent you want to be sarcastic you know you have a hard week you kind of just want to let that out and you just don't need somebody to be overly positive and turn everything into a motivational quote all the time sure so he was too positive

00:04:58 - 00:05:00 | Speaker 9:

he was

00:05:00 - 00:05:39 | Speaker 1:

in my life i've never heard this go ahead okay so like he did all that but then for me would absolutely seal the deal where i was done at the end of the day he pulled out his phone and he said that he likes to do a quick gratitude check-in after date and so he listed three things that he appreciated about the evening out loud and then he asked me what mine were like your your highlights pretty much and i didn't know what to say because i was still processing the date we were still on it i don't i don't know but now i do okay here's the other a half of this i think

00:05:39 - 00:05:47 | Speaker 4:

i've heard enough at this point so alex is actually listening yeah hey and hey thanks alex

00:05:47 - 00:06:28 | Speaker 3:

okay this is awkward obviously i want to get your thoughts i mean like i look i i don't see that's an odd thing to say that I'm too positive. At the end of the day, I feel like I like Daoism, you know, the Tao Te Ching, like Eastern philosophy has been important in my life. And it's all about reframing things in a way that's positive. There's nothing really wrong in life, because if you look at it, there's an undercurrent of like sweetness, you know, and that's what I believe in. And people will label this toxic positivity, but it's actually toxic i think to even frame it that way because the zeitgeist is like that you know it's okay to

00:06:28 - 00:06:45 | Speaker 1:

be negative and it's okay to on people no and i see where you're coming from but like i said before sometimes you just want to vent and have a bad day and like release that onto your person just to kind of like you know get advice or reassurance or you know somebody to be cranky and upset with

00:06:45 - 00:06:54 | Speaker 4:

you right let's let's move on to the other thing the whole gratitude check-in at the end of the date. What was that about? Seems like a lot to ask. I don't think so, man. They say like when

00:06:54 - 00:06:58 | Speaker 3:

you verbalize things, you're like working with words. Words are powerful. Maybe that would have

00:06:58 - 00:07:11 | Speaker 1:

been more acceptable, though, if like we knew each other more. But for the first time saying that out loud, that was too much. Like you weren't this positive poly like over text. Rachel, could

00:07:11 - 00:07:16 | Speaker 5:

we try this again? Is there any shot at a second date? Alex, do you even want a second date at

00:07:16 - 00:07:26 | Speaker 3:

this point i don't think so if my like basic values and spiritual values are not aligned with yours then i think you know best of luck to you and i wish you find something that aligns with

00:07:26 - 00:07:43 | Speaker 2:
