It's not happening is it?

I'm supposed to be going on a first date tonight, all seemed a-ok, so was just trying to sort out details and I messaged her back at 9am this morn to see if meeting at 7 was cool...tumbleweed, she hasn't replied yet, almost 5 hours ago.
Which is fine for anything else, but I think taking this long is a bit weird considering we haven't met yet...and it's tonight Blush
Shall I just send a message saying don't worry about it? Lost my excitement for the night now anyway.

@aLittleL1fe yes, that could be true, in which case I've been unreasonable if it was particularly busy. It was just very out of character and the time hadn't been confirmed but day/location had.

Ah I didn't understand that the time wasn't agreed. Well. Don't know. Not a crime in my books but that's possibly because I often plan too much stuff myself and have a major trouble keeping all my promises and commitments, and being on time. It wouldn't be unusual for me to be so distracted or upset by something at work or kids/school that I forget about going out with a friend I wanted to see for ages. It's really not ideal but in my life it happens. (unfortunately)

I don't think it's a case of you being unreasonable, I think it's more that you prefer a certain level/consistency in communication, and she has shown that that's not so important for her. Nobody is right or wrong; you just don't like what she did.

It only takes a minute to communicate "yes, call you later" or whatever.

If you are too busy to send one message, you are probably too busy to date me.

Wannabegreenfingers · 13/11/2021 13:41

@Moretodo I couldn't agree more.

digitalvertigo · 13/11/2021 18:30

@Moretodo yes, that was the crux of it really and it didn't chime with how much and frequently she'd messaged before.

I would assume it's not happening. Hope you have something lovely to do in lieu

billy1966 · 13/11/2021 18:57

Agree with @Moretodo

Leave her to contact you again.
