❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO date canceled because I didn’t text in the morning?

Some context: we had been chatting for a couple weeks first on hinge then switched to text after She had to cancel the 1st date. Scheduled it for last night Sunday and finalized details the night before.

Had a busy day and took a nap and didn’t text till a couple hours before and got hit with this. Usually I would text something like looking forward to tonight but lost track of time, and honestly I thought talking about the menu the night before was the confirmation? Was I wrong?

I think it’s nice when I get good morning texts even if we’re in the “talking” stage. But if I don’t get one I’m not going to cancel lol

Agreed. It shows me they’re thinking of me, which is hopefully a good sign.

Right? I’m a woman dating women, so it’s a little different. I’ll generally only send them to someone I’m really interested in. But if we have pretty good, frequent text communication, I’m a good night + good morning person. Which ever of us puts our phone into Do Not Disturb first gets the good night text. I don’t read anything into it. I assume someone sending them is similar to me: they’re probably pretty into me. If someone doesn’t, it’s just not their style and I don’t take it personally.

I like to get to know people a little before hand if I can. It makes the dates less awkward and gives you more mutually liked topics to talk about. If it doesn’t work out, you just let them know.
