Do I ring him? Or sack him off?

[MissNameChage3000]

Supposed to be going on a date tonight. The man confirmed the restaurant last night (he booked the table) but didn’t specify the time. I messaged him saying let me know the plans tomorrow.

I have not heard from him all day. I messaged an hour ago asking whats the plan. He hasn’t been online for a few hours.

Shall I ring him? If we’re still going I need to start getting ready soon. (Shower makeup etc) but don’t want to come across as needy.

The OP said the opposite
He hasn’t been online for a few hours.

Dear lord, don’t contact him again. He’s treated you badly so don’t chase after someone like that

Ah, I misread that. But I stand by what I said. He told her he booked a table and couldn't have told her what time in the same message? It's ridiculous.

I'd assume he's messed up slightly, probably thinks he's told you the plan and is now at work. How many dates have you had - is this the first?

I'd probably send one more message asking what time are we meeting? And then call it a day if no response in the next half hour.

I don’t think he booked a table and has either ghosted you or is playing games. Throw him back and don’t contact him again.

He could have, but perhaps screwed up unintentionally.

I can't believe there are people on here making excuses for this twat

Could ring and say we have a table booked in name * but just making sure on time

I feel like I'm in an alternate universe where standards don't exist.

He's either deliberately leaving you not knowing because he likes having the upper hand (in which case avoid like the plague), or he's the sort of idiot who, when you ask when you're meeting would say, "I already told you - tomorrow!"

They'd be more likely to say they'll send another confirmation text or email.

Very weird he booked the table and messaged to say he’d done so but didn’t say what time?? That isn’t usual behaviour whatsoever, also weird your follow up message didn’t ask for a time though. Reminds me of Americans on the phone on TV “see you at Denny’s tonight” hang up. What the fuck, what time?!

Don't phone him. If he hasn't responded already then he's not bothered.

My friends that date have this happen all the time, either ghosted or he will message way later with some hospital emergency story

Any decent person keen for a date would make sure that the other half knew the exact time and place. Best case scenario here: he’s an idiot. Most likely: he has no intention of meeting you for a date and is being deliberately elusive.

Move on.

You messaged to clarify a time and he hasnt replied .
He knows he hasn't told you a time so id assume its off if he hasn't contacted you.

Shit behaviour from him.
There’s no way, I would contact him again.
You’ll look desperate.

If he contacted me now at this late hour, I wouldn’t respond. Give him a taste of his own shit medicine.

Don’t go. Don’t respond to him again.

If he didn't discuss a time suitable to you both when it was booked ... don't bother contacting him again.
Don't chase him you're worth more.

He is seeing what you will tolerate.

Cancel tonight. Don’t go. Make other plans and ignore him.

If he has any interest he will pursue you next week and make a huge effort in future.

there is no date OP he is a prick and has changed his mind. Please don’t message again you will look desperate he has your number. But if he does contact you just ignore. That’s my advice

Has he now been in contact?

not to say time of booking is weird. Ring the restaurant and find out

I bet if you ring the restaurant they won’t have a booking under his name

Why are there so many wankers about?!

He’s not booked it because if he had, he would have said a time when he sent you the message about which restaurant to go to.
Don’t contact him again, I think he’s probably messaging multiple women and another one confirmed a date tonight.
If it doesn’t work out how he wants it to, he’ll be back in touch with the ‘I had an emergency’ and rebook something in with you.
