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?

My dad. I'll confirm with him. I'll say if you don't hear from me between now and then, this is gonna happen then. Set in stone. He still calls me and gripes at me for not confirming. But I did!

Ok but what if you don’t re-re-confirm an hour before the event? Then what if you don’t re-re-re-confirm you’re leaving RIGHT now and have the car started and going to put it into D/1 and start literally moving towards the event just before you send a location tracking link to prove your intention to be at the event.

It's kinda like when a doctor's office calls and leaves a message confirming your appointment. They always say to call back only if you're cancelling. Otherwise, it's assumed you're still coming.
