What should I have done better and how would you proceed?

Generally suboptimal confirmation, on Sunday I would’ve texted her with an opener or meme and then when she said hey say “hey still good for tonight”, If she didn’t respond then I would send her a takeaway around 8-9pm “if you’re too nervous, I’d understand”

Thanks, agreed. Any advice on salvaging the conversation without being needy or should I just drop it?

Say “I genuinely didn’t take you for the flakey type”

So your close was suboptimal for sure. In addition you could have gone about nailing down logistics, instead of leaving it until the day of (that’s usually a low probability move).

At this point. Leave this interaction alone for like a week and then re-engage. Live your life and re-open with a DHV.

A meme

Or... I’ve been experimenting with this

“Hey (insert name) these last couple weeks been mad busy. Found some time to make this happen. If you’re not down, lmk”

Hit send and move on, lol.

Cheers bro-maha

I think she wanted to meet directly on friday since she said she was home and bored

Thought about that but didn’t want to seem too available in case she wasn’t. Good to know for next time though, thanks!

Honestly I'm new to this so take my opinion with a grain of salt.. But I really think you didn't do anything wrong man. This girl may have just gotten cold feet.

No worries, appreciate your comment/POV! Curious how you’d proceed?

Maybe a follow up in like 1-2 days like "...and the worst texter award goes to"

Some of the other posters saying you should have built more investment. I agree with that as well.

Did she reply or what? I would've asked how is her mood or how is she feeling before confirming if she still down for Sunday. If she hasn't replied, tell her something like "I didnt know you were the flakey/ghost type. See if she replies, if not move on

That’s what I thought I was doing by asking about the Sunday. How should I do it differently?

Good idea too, might just send that.

Should have built a little more investment imo but she sounds like the flakey type I wouldn't stress it

Any suggestions/things you’d do different? I agree but couldn’t find out how to do it in this conversation as she was very straightforward.
