So I need everyone's input. I don't know if I'm old/out of touch or just missed something.
Last Christmas I had a thread about confirmation fatigue and not understanding why specific social plans have to be confirmed and reconfirmed all the time. In an example I'd been invited to someone's house for lunch on a specific day and time, Id said yes thanks, and they acted surprised when I actually showed up because "we never confirmed ".
So here's a live example. Earlier this week, my old work buddy and I made plans to meet for a coffee and catch up in city centre tomorrow. Specific date and time and meeting place.
He literally just texted me, "Do you still want to meet tomorrow or do you want to take a rain check?"
Is this the reconfirmation that's supposed to be standard now? Because I'm reading that he's fishing for a cancel?
(He's gay with a husband so there's no dating element.)
Interested in people's perspectives!
(And please no shirty comments about this being unimportant. I'm just mulling this over my Hot Girl Iced Coffee.)
