I matched with a woman last night and we had a nice conversation. Of course I didnt bring up meeting this weekend since we just matched. And then I was like......"Oh damm next weekend is July 4th weekend so I may have to wait a couple of weeks. Its always that assumption that someone has plans for a holiday weekend. Has anyone ever met someone during a holiday weekend?

I don't think it's weird.  If she has plans she will just tell you.

I would assume they are doing a couple of things, but I reckon their calendar won't be entirely full.

With COVID, I actually think it might be easier than any other year to ask her to do something.  In theory, she's probably not traveling, not going to big gatherings and everything is generally low key for most people.  So it could mean she would be around and available.  What would you want to do with her?

Due to Covid I doubt many people have big plans.  Just set something up.  You could always meet Thursday night because the 3rd is the day off.

Yeah that sounds like a good plan.    Thursday evening or early friday.      I wasnt even going to make an attempt for saturday

I think in the DE/NJ area its a possibility due to the beach/boardwalk

Try for Thursday.  See how that goes.  On that date you may learn she has no plans for the 4th.

It’s common  travel tines for people have parties but too soon to intro new date.

its also a common occurrence from mid November thru Christmas.

we are now in Covid so people might not travel or go to large parties.

No it's not weird at all.  Nowadays I think most people aren't going anywhere.

4th of July is a holiday that is a good one to go on a new date.  It will be outside, and BBQ's.  Obviously, I wouldn't recommend taking a new person to a family event.  BUT... you can easily do something at a park.

Now, to answer the general question... I personally think it's wrong to meet someone on a major holiday.  I deliberately stopped dating after Thanksgiving.  It would too easy to get wrapped up in the happiness and love of the Xmas Holiday... and the party attitude of new year, and a new partner could get sucked into that. (I wasn't looking for a hook-up or relationship of convenience)  I had several offers for New Year's Eve... but I dropped my oldest daughter off at a friend's house for a kid friendly party... and I went home alone, and enjoyed a nice bottle of Port.   A week after... I started thinking about dating again. 

My 2 cents... take it for what it's worth.

She had a issue that I didnt respond to her text right away this evening.     Kind of turned off

Yeah red flag. I wouldn't like that either, especially after just one day of texting. Seems very needy. 

I would text some more before going on that date. Just to see if this was a one time thing (probably not)

That would be a hard no for me.  Somebody who is already measuring your response time before you even men.  Just no.  Too controlling, needy, something bad.  Next.  IMO if you responded within 12 hours you are fine.
