For feeling I am chasing ?

[YourLovingTraybake]

Am I supposed to text first?

I have gone on 3 dates with this guy and
On our last date we agreed to meet on Wednesday and Friday.
Wednesday morning comes along and I asked him if we are still on and he said he is sorry and if I can do Friday.
I said I will let him know (that's due to childcare issues ).
He usually texts first all the time to check in about twice a day but yesterday he didn't so I waited a bit and texted him first, he replied quite quickly but our conversation was short.
He left on read the last message but i was not asking him any questions on it just told him my day was busy as well and that I am stuck in traffic.

Question is I want to say good morning now and confirm my plans for tonight as I was going to let him know ,does it sound like chasing if I do so ?
I don't want him to think I am desperate or anything and he hasn't texted yet.
At this time he is at work for context.
I constantly feel that if I give him the slightest sign of interest first I come across as chasing,is it reasonable to feel this way ?

Maybe text him later this afternoon...5pm ish to see what the plans are for later?

@Purplebiscuitwithsprinkles
Would that be considered too last minute since I was the one that told him I will let him know ?

If he likes you, he won't think it's desperate. If he doesn't, he might do but who cares? I would just ask him honestly OP. "Do you still want to go out tonight? If you've decided otherwise that's fine, but just let me know". Then you'll know either way. In my experience, if a man is keen, he won't hide it. Good luck. x

If you’ve said you’d let him know then you need to do exactly that. Maybe he’s wondering why you haven’t?!
If you meet tonight and have a great time, then put it all behind you. But if there’s something not quite right tonight or moving forward then I wouldn’t ‘chase’ him.

Ah sorry I've read it wrong I thought he was meant to be texting you. No if you're the one supposed to be texting just text and say what the plan is. The earlier he knows the better as if any changes are to be made you both know what's happening.

It's not desperate and if he likes you there's no game playing it's just a simple yeah up for meeting later shall we do xyz, hope you're have fun.
