brokengirl85 Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Hi everyone! Tonight is my third date with someone I like. We've already set time and place (I know where to meet him at I know at what time) However, we've set this date on Tuesday and I haven't heard from him since then. I'm NOT active on online dating, but he is (I can google his user name and see if he's online or not. He's been online the whole week, pretty much all the time except at night). My question is: should I meet him without confirmation? Our date is in 8 hours, so I'd like to be ready (clothing, make up, etc) Hate this. I'd rather prefer constant communication so I don't feel insecure.
preraph Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 If he contacted you last, then you could just touch base and say "We're still on for tonight, aren't we?" But if you were the last to contact him, then you should get ready and just go, but maybe he'll check in with you later. At least if you're stood up, there's no one around. Wait in the lobby or whatever so if he doesn't show, no one else knows it and you can just leave. Don't stay longer than 20 minutes if you haven't heard from him though. Because if he did show up late, you'd be setting a bad precedent. Constant contact sounds very insecure. No one should have to do that.
mrs rubble Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Why is it up to him to confirm? You could just as easy text and ask "are still on for tonight?" or "looking forward to tonight." Guy's don't have to make all the moves you know.
losangelena Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Why not say something simple like, "looking forward to tonight!" No need to jump to worst case scenario. 2
Author brokengirl85 Posted February 27, 2016 Author Posted February 27, 2016 It's a movie night date, so if he doesn't show, I could just simply watch the movie by myself. It was him to proposed the date and contacted me first. I already texted him that same Tuesday "I'm looking forward to it" so I don't want to be repetitive and ask him if we're still up for today. Ugh hate this, honestly. O you guys think I just go and pay my ticket and watch the movie if he's not there? It's s good movie, btw.
kendahke Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 O you guys think I just go and pay my ticket and watch the movie if he's not there? No, we said to confirm that you're still on. Let him either tell you or not (by not returning the call/text) that you're not on. Don't assume anything. if the movie is still worth going to see by yourself, then treat yourself to your own date night and do something worthy of an amazing date for yourself.
Author brokengirl85 Posted February 27, 2016 Author Posted February 27, 2016 Alright he just confirmed. We're on for tonight, I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks Ps: Mmm, maybe he's read this thread??
joseb Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Alright he just confirmed. We're on for tonight, I'll keep you guys posted. Thanks Ps: Mmm, maybe he's read this thread?? OP. Try not to get so anxious next time. I just read the date isn't for 8 hours. A few hours before is a good time to confirm. Much earlier and it's not really a solid confirmation. If it takes you close to 8 hours to get ready, you are trying WAY too hard
katiegrl Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 BG, how was your date last night? Inquiring minds.......
