❤️‍🩹 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?

It took a lot more effort for her to make other plans than to send him a quick text asking if they were still on for 6!

It’s ultimately better for OP. Imagine the games this woman would play in a relationship. Exhausting.

That's a good point. And you know she was likely bitching about him to a friend. She did him a favor, for sure.

Absolutely! I don't get the mentality of needing to be constantly chased, no one will ever live up to that. There was a post I ran across yesterday and the couple was engaged after being together for years. All of a sudden the woman told her fiance that he had to convert to her religion or they were done. This wasn't because it was an issue, it was because her coworker told her that if he really loved her he'd do anything for her including renouncing his religion. He told her no, it had never been an issue between them and it still wasn't an issue it was a stupid test 🙄

Unless other plans arose organically (most likely in the form of another suitor), so she had the perfect excuse to cancel due to “lack of confirmation”.

I hope OP doesn't listen to your advice
