why are you not getting a call back after you went on a date with somebody jackson is on with us right now jackson what's going on how could anybody not call you back jackson i i actually saw your entry here and like guy seems like the sweetest guy ever but how many dates have you gone

on or how long have you guys known each other well not long just one day you know we met at a party and went out and you know i thought it went really well you know we shared a lot uh about our lives i felt there was a real connection there and then nothing and how old are you uh i'm 32

okay so you're at an age where you want to have a relationship you want to be with somebody uh And you thought that Kylie was it. Kylie's on with us right now. We're going to find out what's going on and why she wasn't calling you back. Kylie, will you say hi to Jackson?

Hey, Jackson.

Hey there. That does not sound like a, hey, Jackson, how are you? Sorry I haven't talked to you in a while. What's up, Kylie? What's going on?

Not much.

Is this an awkward situation? Are you purposely not calling him back?

Um, yeah, I, yeah.

What's, what's the story? Let's get right into it. What's going on?

No, I mean, okay.

Um, do you feel comfortable? If you don't feel comfortable, then you can just say, Hey, I'll move on. And we'll just say goodbye.

No, no, he, he, he did deserve to know. And I was a coward who didn't text him. So I guess this is what we're going to do.

So what's so what's going on?

Honestly, he's just not my type. And I and I kind of knew it like right away. But I just I mean, like he's not attractive. No, no, no. He he is cute and he is sweet. and he he just is like super traditional in what way

i mean okay we sit down and we order and like the food comes and before the food comes like he prayed okay which i love that it's fine but like i'm not religious at all so it was a lot

did he ask you to pray with him or he just prayed by himself

um he kind of did that sort of thing where it's like uh let's pray and i just kind of gently closed my eyes and and waited i don't know i mean i don't really know what the protocol is um so he didn't demand it of me i guess but jackson yeah did you sense that kylie was

uncomfortable with the fact that you wanted to what did you do say grace or something

I really didn't at the time. It kind of just came and went by so quickly. I didn't think it was a bad thing. I just kind of did it, and we were on with dinner and still having a good time, as far as I thought.

Okay.

Was it just that? No.

No, he just, he came on really strong throughout with just very like traditional ideas you know like he just kept talking about his parents like 35 year old marriage which amazing and like going to church and how he wanted to raise his kids and

like I mean it just was it was a lot and that's not me okay so you are not the type of person that is uh religious it sounds like or was it all like religious stuff that you were doing jackson or was it you just saying this is kind of what i'm looking for like were you trying to say this is how i'm raising my kids like how did that conversation get brought up well we were just

really open about like a lot of things that's why i thought it was going well so yeah i mean i talked about my background i kind of talked about what i'm you know looking for in another person ideally what like you know my ideal relationship would be like i mean it just felt naturally we were discussing you know the things that meant a lot to us i felt getting to know each other uh and it all felt good i mean there was nothing negative about it so and you didn't sense that

she was uncomfortable at all with any of this like she seemed like she was smiling happy

participating well yeah she was telling me a little better about herself too so i felt it was like kind of a good back and forth if i felt that it was off i mean i wouldn't you wouldn't

have been wondering why why i heard somewhere you know okay um so kylie because i'm never going to judge you i mean the guy sounds like a nice guy you know you sound like a nice person but this is just something that you're not into as far as you know the saying grace and doing all the rest of that stuff and then also talking about the kids this was that this is not a guy that you would find is an attractive nice guy that would be nice to you you're just so turned off by that that it's it was like all right i don't want any part of this i mean listen he's

great and he will he's gonna be great for someone but not for you i don't think that like we're not aligned yeah you know like he it was very he's so polite he you know he's honestly he seems like he's obsessed with, like, opening doors and, like, pulling out the chair and all of those things, and someone is going to be, like, so into that, but for me, I was like, you

don't like your door open? Did it intimidate you? It sounds like he just, he, it sounds like you were intimidated, because I feel like those are all very amazing things.

He's a gentleman.

I don't know if it's intimidation or just. But I'm trying to figure out, like, I mean, if you, if, if the praying or the raising your kids a certain way, if that's not your thing, that's not your thing, obviously, that's your choice. he sounds like he has all of his crap together and I'm simply wondering if she has not dated anybody who has ever had all of his spit together so to her it's like whoa this is like a lot

she want to be choked and he not giving her that vibe

no I don't think it has anything to do with niceness I don't think it has anything to do with having his spit together or not if you bring up religion that many times in a first date that's clearly a main priority to you and if i don't see eye to eye with you on those values ideals expectations whatever it is that is it's not oh she doesn't know nice men or oh she doesn't know people who have their stuff together it's no we don't see eye to eye on this that's not something

i'm looking at and she didn't say that what about the holding what about holding the doors and pulling the chair out to me like that is more than

Thank you.

And just, that is more than God. I mean, maybe that is a very godly thing to do. But if, you know, she doesn't like that, now I'm thinking to myself, you're just not liking a nice guy. What's up, Megan? How you doing? Listener Megan.

Hey, good morning, guys. Good morning. Long time listener, first time caller. Yeah, Megan's on the show. I'm going to get right into it right now. This woman found a gem. this this woman does not know romance does not know love because this person clearly puts god first and if god's first their whole relationship is just going to be one amazing bloom you know

well let me ask this question kylie are you are you atheist or are like what is it because if

nobody should ever judge a person for what they're doing or for what their beliefs are i'm just it's not really a part of my life I didn't grow up with that okay so it's not that you're atheist

it's just that you're just not one that uh wants to talk religion and stuff I listen he does sound like a gem Megan I mean he does he you know sounds like a really nice guy but like we said maybe it's just not a gem for uh for her Mark what's going on how you doing yeah thank you so

Megan I love that you put um ideals I love when people say ideals for the for the record I love that um no i agree with her 100 um so my wife is very religious i she goes to church every sunday with the kids i grew up catholic my mom was jewish um i i think the praying on a first date i guess here's my thing i don't know how you all met or if you said it i missed it but i feel like if she

says christian mingle i'm gonna i'm gonna shout you didn't mean you didn't mean on any kind of a religious app like that or did you no we just met at a party okay you met at a party okay

i mean i feel like that probably should have been established if it's that i don't know i do think the the the praying on the first date i don't know i think that's a bit you can't say grace

but what about it can be very intimidating you don't know if people have been through religious trauma you don't know what people have been through with their walk with god or without God and to to just say well that's a them problem instead of acknowledging they might not have the same relationship or be as comfortable being very public with it as I do that's not necessarily a negative and I think the way it's being thrown as a negative is not fair to her I

think honestly I think that for for Jackson it's actually a good thing that he knows this I agree but but she should say to him hey listen I'm not into that I think the idea when she went there and we kind of went right over it because i think the religious part got us but the idea that this guy is traditional because he holds a door open for you or pulls a chair out for you to me honestly at that point i don't understand that i he's just trying to be a nice guy and if you kylie i don't understand what you're what what would be your i'm negative on that well that's what i said i

wonder if she's just not used to that and so it like freaked her out yeah like what what is the

negative to him doing that it it has felt like pretend like i i don't that's not how my the men in my family act and i don't think they act disrespectful i think they just meet me more where i am and not as if i am like a special treasure to be you know but don't you but don't

you want somebody who cherishes you and and does treat you that way like and is genuine about it

i think that that that's the point is i think a lot of women do want that but i want someone to

be on my team and to meet me where i am okay and i guess i just don't understand how that how how

he wasn't that i would actually say this to jackson you should have pulled the chair when she tried to sit on it i see what happens then chelsea what's going on chelsea you want to make

comment hi yeah good morning guys um so i'm i'm really confused and kind of baffled because i feel like i hear this so much lately especially listening to these uh second date updates in the morning yeah like when when you're dating and ultimately you're dating for an end goal which a lot of people are you talk about certain types of things now it's not like this dude was like oh when we have kids we're going to name our first girl ashley and our wedding is going to be in hawaii he was he was talking about the things that he wants later on in life that you would normally talk about now here's the thing she knew off the rip if there's no chemistry that's understandable she knew that off rip but it seems to me like back in the day people would talk about these things on the first day

And a lot of women would find it either endearing or informational to figure out if you guys have the same end goals. And the fact that so many people are turned off by just somebody mentioning marriage or mentioning kids or just mentioning it is weird.

And honestly, what you're saying is extremely well said. And then here's where it comes into play. Kylie probably, when he's trying to contact you, which she says he has tried to contact you for some time now, just send him a text back and say, hey, you know what? I just don't think that we're going to match. Thank you for that.

What is so hard to say, you know what? You're great. I had a nice time. It just, if the spark wasn't there, we can be friends. I mean, that's every week. We can be cool. Yeah. And like the praying thing, like I pray all the time. My husband, God is number one for him. I'm still working on my journey, but we pray all the time. My son is the cutest prayer in the world. And we pray when we go out in public. And the thing is, though, is that we understand that there are certain people that aren't the same way you don't have to participate all you do is just be respectful of the person who's saying grace at the table and don't be eating and clanking your which she did well right so that's fine but then she was so turned off by it i don't understand like what the big deal is and if it is that much of a trigger for her she should have said something

well that's i mean that's why she didn't reach out to him she didn't cause any conflict she didn't shame him for it she didn't do anything i don't know why we're like kind of attacking her and she's just like i'm not interested in this but we're saying but he's so good because he does all of these things she didn't say that though until right now on the air with us

why why why does she not send him a text message and just say but again we can say that every week i understand that but why that's why i believe that when we do second date updates there's always usually somebody that you're like oh this person's a little carried away i don't think it's wrong with saying hey kylie next time you go on a date with somebody you don't like be nice and just say hey not interested if the guy calls to contact you he's feeling he feels and i don't know how you felt if you felt like you were overdoing it jackson but maybe you felt like hey i just want to have an answer because i thought things went really good because how did you guys end the date did you guys end the date jackson hug kiss what up what'd you do

well we kind of just gave like a you know a hug and said you know see you later um but uh it still felt okay to me like i didn't want to push it too much but it just felt good like at that point is

like you know what hey thanks a lot for the date i don't know you know uh when he sends you a text to say hey it was really nice but you know i'm thinking i'm gonna move on i think obviously we would not have second date update if it was that people were cordial enough to do stuff like actually be nice and respond back I don't think that's religious or anything like that I mean there's just common being nice and I but I do think that there's something to she something set her off and it might have been that prayer that the guy just holding the chair open for you or the door

open for you whatever it was like that's really that bad of a guy don't don't change exactly who

you are he being you bro and she still be her you know what I mean like for sure you don't want

And she'll find somebody that more matches her, I hate when people say energy, but energy.

But just respond back.

Like what she's looking for.

Be nice. And that goes for all the people that have Texas to me. That's a city, or a state, isn't it? Texas? They have, I've just got to return a bunch of texts today.
