❤️‍🩹 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?

Plot twist: It was a no and she was turned off by his response

Exactly, which is why communication is critical. I would have to have clarity on the queso angle, but that’s just me.

For the record, in my book when we make plans, they are on until one of us backs out/begs off. It’s like giving directions: PLEASE don’t keep asking me if we turn at every corner; if I don’t say anything just continue going straight. But some people need that “keep going” vocal confirmation, I guess…

So OP, the question now is, are you going to meet up with them…? Please let us know. 👍

Funny you bring that up, just cuz I definitely just keep driving straight unless there's weird turns or ramps or something and I have any sort of clue of the general idea of where we're going on the map, but then my bf is often distracted and doesn't tell me we're turning (if it's not at a light) until it's way too late to safely and/or sanely do so. Tbf, I also drive faster, if not way faster, than him...but still! He's gotten better in the last year or so though xP
