Awkward First Call in a Setup Date

In an amusing recount of his experience with a setup date, Doug narrates the humor and awkwardness involved when he made the first call at 8:30 a.m. Traditionally, people debate the best time to call someone you are being set up with, but Doug took an unconventional approach by making the call early in the morning. Unfortunately, Doug reached Koo's voicemail instead of the intended connection. He attempted to sound casual while rambling through his message, feeling the pressure of making a good impression. As he tried to articulate his thoughts, he humorously reflected on how he was 'grabbing the words out of the air' only to slip them back out, resulting in a less-than-perfect message. Doug's story encapsulates the uncomfortable yet relatable experiences that come with the territory of dating and introductions. Adding a light-hearted twist, he revealed that Koo saved his voicemail, a tradition that had turned into a running joke as she insists on revisiting that moment every anniversary, showcasing the enduring and often embarrassing nature of first impressions in romantic pursuits.
