to think this is slightly bossy?

I'm probably being a bit over sensitive here but wanted to get the mumsnet perspective on this.

A friend and I go for a dog walk together maybe once or twice a week. The time and day varies depending on our respective work patterns so we don't have a firm arrangement in place - it's always more ad hoc. I saw her on Wednesday and we agreed we'd take the dogs out together this morning. I messaged her yesterday to firm up the arrangement and said "still up for a dog walk tomorrow?" and she replied "yes 10.30 x"

Thing is, every time we arrange it she always just states a time. She doesn't say "how about 10.30?" or "Does 10.30 work for you?" - she always just replies with just "11.15 x" or "9.45 x" or whatever.

So am I being over sensitive or is she being slightly dictatorial here? It's usually her that's keener to walk than me as my job is a bit more full on.

I'd rather have 1 more text message than a feeling of being bossy.
