shyguy3543 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Hey guys, Long story short, I've "kind of" been dating a girl (we've hung out a few times) and I suggested we make our next meet-up a date. She said yes (WOO!) So yesterday I contacted her suggesting that we meet up on Sunday because I thought Valentine's day was on Saturday and it'd be best to avoid crowds and not add the big thing of "our first real date was on valentine's day". Whoops! I found out today that Valentine's is on Sunday. UGH! Should I stick with it at this point (and the fact that wherever we go, we'll be stuck in massive crowds of couples) or just straight-up tell her that I thought v-day was on Saturday and suggest we reschedule for Saturday instead?

Uh, you're going to be surrounded with massive crowds of couples on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. It's freakin' Valentine's Day weekend! Just roll with it. She said yes. Have fun! 2
d0nnivain Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 Don't reschedule. You will hurt her feelings. Go! Don't do something overly romantic but do get her a little tiny something. I'm thinking the $5 very small box of chocolate or a single daisy, maybe a pink carnation if you want to push the flower thing. Definitely not both. Just hand it to her & say Happy Valentine's Day. Nothing too mushy but enough to show that your are confident enough to acknowledge the "high pressure" day you picked for the 1st date. Besides, right now she's thinking aren't you just loaded with confidence for deliberately picking Valentine's Day. Don't tell her it was by mistake. You will ruin all your mojo. 7
Wewon Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 You're taking the situation and adding unwanted complexities to it. There will be crowds, you will have to deal with said crowds. Trying to reschedule someone now means that she has to start making a series of arrangements to change that date. 1
smackie9 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 No one really likes to be alone on Valentine's Day.....it's perfect, just keep it simple. 1
Author shyguy3543 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Posted February 10, 2016 Alright, I'm gonna stick with it. Thanks, everyone! 1
Author shyguy3543 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Posted February 11, 2016 Just a little update, she texted me asking if I realized that Sunday is Valentine's day and that getting a table anywhere would be crazy. I said I know, but tossed in a little joke and said we could make it work. She then said "what if they only have valentine's day specials or prixe fixe type meals?" I took that as a sign to switch it up lol. So we switched things over to Monday instead. She said that she has work on Monday but that now at least it'll be a Monday to look forward. Fair enough! 3
d0nnivain Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 HER (the invitee) switching it up is fine. You did a great job keeping your cool. Have a great date 1
