amazonrambo Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) We texted back and forth a few times, all was well and good. Use of emojis, interest in me, etc. Last Friday, I asked her what days she would be free to get together, she said she's actually free tomorrow for a change but wondered if it might be too soon and said she could do a night during the week. I told her I was busy Saturday night, being it such short notice anyway. Then I said "we'll do a night during the week when you know you're free". She told me "Could maybe do Wednesday? I will have to get back to you on that one though as I'm not sure what time I finish work, won't know until Monday". So I said "I've already got plans Wednesday evening, but let me know if you're free another day when you find out on Monday ;)". It's now Monday 8:30pm. Do I reach out and bring the topic of getting together again or just forget about it and let her contact me? She said she'll find out on Monday and will get back to me on that one, but not heard anything and wondering what to do. We texted back and forth a few times, all was well and good.

Author amazonrambo Posted May 22, 2017 Author Posted May 22, 2017 Reach out. What do you have to lose? True, she could have just forgot. She works retail management like me, so you tend to forget about other things. I'll probably just start a fresh conversation and bring it up after 2-3 texts.
elaine567 Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 YOU have already turned her down twice. I doubt she will be in a rush to get back to you. 2
Author amazonrambo Posted May 22, 2017 Author Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) YOU have already turned her down twice. I doubt she will be in a rush to get back to you. I already had plans on the two days she asked, I'm free any other day. I'm not going to back out of plans I made a while ago for a first date. All I was asking was for her to get back to me when she got her work schedule so she could tell me when she was free. Anyway I reached out with something funny/intriguing about my day, if she asks about it I'll tell her I can only reveal that sort of information if she lets me know when she's free, but in a jokey way. If no response, then I have my answer and I move on. Edited May 22, 2017 by amazonrambo
act00 Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 Depending on where she works, she could still be working and can't have her phone on the floor. If her retail manager is any bit like mine, schedules weren't always very forthcoming to the point you had no idea if you had to work the next day. Cut her some slack. I think you should just reach out. Ask her if she has her schedule yet. Apologize that planning has been difficult, but you look forward to meeting her when she knows her schedule.
Ami1uwant Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 in retail you dont know your schedule usually till a day before when the next weeks schedule is released. I dont know how typical or routine is her work schedule where she tends to work the same days and same times each week or is it very random from week to week in what evenings she will be off.

And nobody is asking you to cancel plans...but she offered 2 different days, both of which you were busy on. From her angle it looks as if you're not as interested. You're the man, you should be taking a bit more initiative at this point and not waste time making jokes hoping to get her to act. 1
hercules22 Posted May 23, 2017 Posted May 23, 2017 shes probably waiting for you to say something again after already being unavailable for the 2 days she suggested 1
