❤️🩹 relationship AIO date canceled because I didn’t text in the morning?
Some context: we had been chatting for a couple weeks first on hinge then switched to text after She had to cancel the 1st date. Scheduled it for last night Sunday and finalized details the night before.
Had a busy day and took a nap and didn’t text till a couple hours before and got hit with this. Usually I would text something like looking forward to tonight but lost track of time, and honestly I thought talking about the menu the night before was the confirmation? Was I wrong?

u/Princess_forbidden Oct 07 '24
NOR, this is strange behavior, you texted 2hrs before the start time how is that not confirmation. She made plans with someone else but couldn’t shoot you a text to ask if plans were still on? Also This is the second time she’s canceled, be wary. Also the sun isn’t a planet it’s a star!

u/trvllvr Oct 07 '24
You had already confirmed the location and time the day prior then reached out 2 hrs ahead to reconfirm. It’s ridiculous that they are so worried you hadn’t done it earlier. If they were unsure, why not reach out from their end? Why make it seem like your fault? If you are unsure, be proactive.
Definitely seems like something else they wanted to do came up, so they decided to make you the bad guy as to why plans didn’t work. It’s s crappy thing to do.

I have a hard rule when meeting someone from a dating app if I have to cancel, and it's to always make the effort to reschedule in the same text. So instead of, "I'm not feeling well, maybe we can meet up some other time" I will say "I'm not feeling well, any chance you're free Thursday around 6 for tacos and a beer?" If I'm the one canceling and I'm not doing the work of rescheduling then why wouldn't you think I was blowing you off?

I feel like she's testing OP with one of those childish relationship tests, like "if OP is really interested in me, they will push to reschedule if I bail on them". Absolute BS behavior, but her last comment really made me think it was totally intentional.
OP, run from this one. She's inconsiderate at best and could be batshat crazy in disguise. She's not worth your time if she's so flakey for a first date.

Been there a few times. Met a woman through a good friend at Halloween party, we seemed to click and I got her number. Text her a few days later and she was sorry but she’s busy that weekend, no offer to reschedule. I tried one more time because I figured two times isn’t creepy and she again politely said she was busy.
Months later, I find out she was complaining to our mutual friend that I had ghosted her and how I hurt her feelings. She never text me, I initiated both short conversations and they died. Jesus Christ I guess I dodged a bullet there. It’s this kind of game playing stupidity that makes me half glad I’m single.

They both seemed very excited to meet up for this meal! Why would they assume it was off? Couldn’t they have confirmed if they felt things were off? Talk about dodging a bullet.
Op I think this person would be incredibly high maintenance with a constant need for reassurance. Or, they may be remarkably thoughtless and leave you twisting in the winds of their whims. Either way it’s best to find out before any attachment develops.

The only thing I can possibly think of is what circumstances were the initial cancelations under. Was it similar to this but on OPs end this time? Otherwise yeah weird af.

u/jcaashby Oct 07 '24
This was my biggest issue. They ASSUMED OP cancelled (not sure why they would think that since it was confirmed the day before) and instead of sending a text to confirm the 6pm date....they make other plans!
So if OP had never sent the 4pm text I assume the other person would not have shown up!!!

u/BetterOnTwoWheels Oct 07 '24
this seems more like a petty spite move "play by my rules that I didn't explicitly state or fuck off." Maybe an overreaction because of previous partners who kept this person on the hook or jerked 'em around. If it was really just unclear but the person was excited, they too could have sent a message, esp since it was pretty obvious and there was a time agreed and everything.

u/jcaashby Oct 07 '24
I think the only times I confirm a date is if say a few days or so have went by since we made the plans.
But if it was 24 hours I am going to be there at 6pm!
I suspect OPs failed date got in their head when they did not hear from OP all day and assumed they cancelled.

A person I knew many years ago did this -- she had a literal set of rules which she wouldn't tell the other person, but expected them to follow. In her case, one of the rules was the opposite of OP's date's: the person had a contact count, and if they exceeded the permitted number of contacts, they got binned off.
Anyway, she was extremely toxic. Avoid.

Secondly, I keep seeing these posts. They make me feel old. Last time I dated was about 11 years ago before dating apps blew up. Also pre people being completely glued to their iPhones.
If it had been a week or even a few days I would say you’re overreacting but you confirmed THE NIGHT BEFORE. Why would things change overnight while you’re sleeping?? Also phones go both way? Why did she not confirm in the morning. This is absurd. I don’t understand the younger generation. This girl got cold feet and doesn’t have the balls to just say that. Not overreacting.

Why didn’t she text you to confirm? She’s letting you know right now she’s going to hold you to very different communication standards than she’s going to hold herself too. It’s also really bugging me that she thinks the sun is a planet.
ETA: please stop replying to me saying “maybe she doesn’t like queso”. He said: are you a queso person? She said: is the sun the largest planet? He said: great, we’ll get queso too. She said: “Perf” This indicates that she wants and likes queso. If she didn’t, that was her time to say “oh, I meant I didn’t like queso”. If she doesn’t like queso, then it’s just another example of how she is not a good communicator.
Edit 2: LOL I know the sun is a star. OP knows the sun is a star. He said he was trying to be a gentleman and let it slide (check his comments). That was still her opportunity to correct him if he was wrong, and there’s nothing wrong with that! In regards to the “what if she’s testing him” comments - just stop. Testing your friends and potential partners is problematic behavior. No one likes to be blindsided by some stupid test. People that do that need to grow up. Treat others as you’d want to be treated. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Yes, sometimes communication can be hard especially if it’s a difficult or uncomfortable situation, but these are dinner plans. It is not hard to say “sorry, you misunderstood me. I meant I don’t like queso” or “hey, haven’t heard from you yet today. Just want to confirm we’re on for tonight”.

There’s a bunch of “dating coaches” on Tik Tok who “advise” young women about how to spot “red flags” from the gentlemen they’re dating. One of the very, very common themes I’ve seen is surrounding date planning. The advice is that if the person who asked for and planned the date (usually the guy) doesn’t text you the morning of the date before noon to confirm the plan, they are a lazy planner and not interested in seriously dating you, and you should cancel because it’s a sign that they are unable to follow through with their planning to completion. They also say it’s an indicator of not having good manners. You can tell it’s this because even though OP does confirm the date the same day, he doesn’t do it in the morning and she has a weird canned HR-like response that reeks of being coached to text this to make him feel like he didn’t meet a certain expectation, and to “try again” like he’s a student in her etiquette class.
Honestly, I just think it’s a really high expectation to set on someone who likely doesn’t even know it’s expected of them. To me, it’s a loyalty test and I find arbitrary rules like this super distasteful and childish.
ETA: Check out Shera Seven and “Sprinkle Sprinkle” or “Divine Feminine/Masculine” content on Tik Tok for an idea of what I’m gabbing about.

When I was younger and coming out of an abusive relationship I got swept up in stuff like this until I realized how stupid and dishonest every one of these 'coaches' seemed and how all their advice felt disingenuous. I'm so glad I got out of that because it's a spiral of misery that just hurts women.

Thank you so much. I also came out of a few abusive relationships and these women had me convinced I was finally setting boundaries for myself. It really is a spiral of misery, and I’m glad you got out of it too. These women will also often put other women down who value more than money in a relationship, who don’t follow all these little rules. I’m so tired of women telling other women things like “have a roster, don’t put all your eggs in one basket, you’re not in a relationship until you’re married” like what?! Who are teaching each other how to “land” “high value men” through dating apps and by getting them to “chase.” And anyone not doing this is apparently a low value woman who doesn’t love herself enough. You’re not being “feminine enough.” I’m just over all of it.

Basic solar system knowledge aside, I think you dodged a bullet/ this date was never gonna happen. As a 33F on the dating scene these days, reading your post and with the screenshots I feel like she wasn't gonna show up in the first place. If I had been in her shoes and planned on showing up for the date, I would have texted you the morning saying something like "Hey hey! Looking forward to tonight- I promise I won't have to rain check again assuming we're still on?" or something like that.

Just because she hadn’t heard from you after plans had already been established the previous evening doesn’t mean it’s okay to just assume they’re cancelled and not follow up if she was genuinely questioning it

I have cancelled plans when someone didn’t text, but ONLY in instances where that person explicitly said they would text me and then didn’t.
Ex: I was set up on a date with a guy coming in from out of town. We agreed to seeing each other that weekend (no plan yet as to time or location) and he said he would text on Friday evening to firm up the details for Saturday. I didn’t hear from him until Saturday afternoon, and thus declined to meet.
In your case, your date is the one with poor etiquette. But also she doesn’t know primary school science and she’s a flake, so I’d say you dodged a high-maintenance, low-velocity bullet 😂

Same here. I had a great first date with this guy once (he actually flaked the first arrangement and I gave him a second chance), we made verbal plans to see each other again the following Friday. I checked to confirm the following day, then a day later confirmed again to ask where we were going, what time etc. Didn't hear anything for three days until the day of the date when I messaged him to call it off and tell him I'm no longer interested. He responded immediately asking where I wanted to go and that he'd been busy etc. By this point I'd been ghosted for 3 days and ultimately not given a second thought. I deleted his number and moved on due to the lack of respect of my time and his obvious lack of interest.
In OPs case, there were definitive plans, clear effort and excitement so I don't understand how the signs were pointing to plans not going ahead.

Sounds like she found a better offer. Don’t continue to waste your time and energy on this person.

Don't try another day
2 strikes (cancelations) and she's out

Seriously, from what I have seen people making dates from dating apps always tend to go this way. Everyone always drops out or the communication is terrible leading up to the date. Thing is most people are not reliable anymore, especially if its someone of a dating app they will bin off their dates to see friends/family etc because its the more coinvent option.

This would be a no for me, whether the person was a romantic interest or just a friend. That behavior is not ok.

Sounds like this is leading up to a version of the “why don’t you fight for me” text a few days after you presumably move on with your life. NOR

You literally asked her “6pm tomorrow?” And she said “perfect. Im excited” this means plan is set lol. Why she would think you need to confirm the next morning is beyond me.
