What do I do? Text again?

15 replies

On Monday I text someone to book an appointment, they offered Thursday or Friday, I took Friday.

Circumstances changed overnight and yesterday morning I text and asked if she had any earlier slots than Fri available.
No answer
This morning I text again and apologised for texting a 2nd time but was wondering if the Thursday appointment was still available.

No answer again all today.

Now I'm not even sure if I should expect the Friday appointment to go ahead if she isn't answering me?

I'd feel like a nuisance texting a 3rd time 😟

Call them?

Um call?

I don't do phone calls. Am autistic and bloody hate them.

And that feel even more intrusive, to phone?

Turn up on Fri (presuming you can still make it). Nothing about the original appointment has changed. Definitely don't text a third time.

Friday still stands. You haven't cancelled. No need for further contact.

I can't make Friday that's why I've been asking for an earlier appointment!

Your posts don't say that you've told the person you can't do Friday though
It just says you've asked if she's got earlier.
So she doesn't know you CAN'T do it. So presumably still expecting you

Unless you've missed info out on here

And if you want to get hold of her you do need to call her

I didn't think of it like that.

I thought she would reply saying 'yes I have Thursday or no I don't have any' then I would accept earlier or cancel the Friday one 😮‍💨

You haven't told her that.

Your messages to her are misleading. It reads as if you'd prefer an earlier appointment, not that you actually cannot attend on Friday after all.

I have autism. I didn't think I needed to say that until I knew if it was possible or not to do an earlier appointment.

Ot felt like that part of the conversation would come after I knew whether I could go earlier?
