Should I text her to confirm our first date?

[Alex52]

I matched with this girl on tinder. I ended up getting her phone number. We started texting the first night and I asked her out for Thursday night at a certain restaurant. I asked her if Wednesday or Thursday worked. She said Thursday might work. I said 7? She then said 7 probably works. I then texted her the next day and she stopped texting mid conversation. She did seem semi interested in the convo. She would use exclamation marks and what not. Today we didn't talk and our date is tomorrow... So should I text her to confirm our date? If so, what should I ask and when should I do it?

Of course, you should confirm, but call her on the phone. Get out of the texting habit now. Dates should be initiated and confirmed by phone calls. It's about respecting the subject and giving it the personal attention it deserves. Do it tonight. Always confirm at the very least one day before, preferably two.

At this point you don't have a date. She said "Might work" for Thursday and "Probably" for 7pm. So she never actually confirmed anything.

You absolutely have to text her to confirm. From her replies I don't get the feeling that it's set in stone. So text her tonight and ask "are we on for tomorrow night or do you wanna reschedule?" Then see what she says.

No response is also an answer in itself. If you don't get a reply, move on, she's not interested

I agree with the others.

 

Just to nitpick: I wouldn't text an unsure "Are we on?", instead make it a statement: "So it's 7 tomorrow at <place>!" . Project some confidence.She will either flake or not.

 

She then said 7 probably works. I then texted her the next day and she stopped texting mid conversation.

 

I'm not sure it's good idea to chat a lot before the first date. Sure, you need some rapport, but she's not gonna tell you about her day or about her family or whatever when when you're basically a stranger. You might look needy.

Good god pick up the phone and call her to confirm. Texting is for teenagers.

You'd confirm any other meeting in your life: doctor's appointment, business meeting etc. So yes do confirm. Text or call is your decision but I would not show up unless you have gotten confirmation.

You're getting a lot of "might" and "probably" so yes, call her to ask if you're on or not. I wouldn't be too hopeful though, "maybe" usually means no in this context. If she doesn't give you a concrete yes/no then bail.
