SpotyLove Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 I planned a date about 9 days ahead of time since we are both busy professionals. The date/time/location were agreed to at that time. I have been out of the dating scene awhile. Should I send a confirmation text the night before? If so, I'm not sure what to say that won't sound a little desperate or accusatory that she will not show up. I met her via an internet dating site if that helps. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Tressugar Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Just confirming that we are still on to meet... G'luck and have fun!
Grumpybutfun Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at seven....should suffice. Have you not spoke to her since? G 2
David87 Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Definitely send her a text to confirm the date. What Grumps suggested is excellent.
johnpatric Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Just confirm it buddy.. its not a crime so I think confirming is a good idea..
acrosstheuniverse Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Yeah, anyone who internet dates knows there are enough flakes out there and wouldn't judge you for wanting to confirm, so as to not waste your evening hanging around for somebody to show up. Send on the day 'looking forward to trying *restaurant* with you tonight, are we still on?' and wait for response. I wouldn't judge a guy for confirming a date, although it seems unusual if you set up a date that far in advance but didn't speak in the interim period...?
PegNosePete Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Yes I would definitely confirm, especially if it's an internet date who you've never met. Grumpy's phrasing is exactly what I use myself.

Confirming a date is responsible, not desperate. What? Accusatory???? Why in the world would anyone sane think it would be accusatory? I always confirm the day before or the day of.
d0nnivain Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 As a busy professional, you'd confirm a business meeting, wouldn't you? It's simply polite to confirm the date. The day before merits a call. The day of, a text will be fine. (N.B. I'm one of the text haters around here but confirming a date is one of the things it's good for).
Author SpotyLove Posted May 14, 2014 Author Posted May 14, 2014 I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at seven....should suffice. Have you not spoke to her since? G This is a great statement, but doesn't ask for a response. Do you think adding "are we still on sufficient?"
alwayswithlight Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 If you are really wanting a response back, I would go with. "Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Is 7 still good?" That way you don't sound like you have any reason to suspect that the date is not on, but also gives a nice option for a quick time change if she thinks she might run late or anything like that (after all something could come up in 9 days).

Perfect, thanks so much for the advice!
