She hasn’t replied to my latest message and our 3rd date is tomorrow. Was it a bad message?

[anonparrot1]

Got a third date tomorrow (Tuesday), originally was Monday but she warned me that we may have to reschedule for Tuesday if her sports team won at the weekend due to the parade being on a Monday.

I just wanted to know if my response was bad so I don’t make the same mistake in the future. I like to be flirty and playful, but worried it made me look entitled, too forward or creepy

Her - “Can we swap to Tuesday 😂”

Me - “Boooo [her sports team]… Haha, yeah course we can. That parade right?

Her - “Yes it tomorrow’s 😂 bowling Tuesday is that okay”

Me - “Yeah course it’s okay, can’t let you not celebrate your win. You’re just gonna have to give me a kiss on Tuesday to make up for it… 😉”

That was around midnight last night but now it’s 9pm and left on read. I know she can sometimes vary between taking hours to reply to being quite quick, but was hoping it wasn’t what I said.

I plan to send her a good morning text tomorrow asking about the parade and to confirm if we’re still meeting again etc

Don't send the good morning text. Own the message and assume you are still meeting for the date. I never directly ask to confirm a date. I will usually send a message like, "I'll meet you in front of [place] at [time]" or "I'll pick you up at your place at [time]." Adjust the message based on what you agreed upon. I will usually send it the night before, but you could send it in the morning of the date too.

If she does not respond or flakes then do not message her again and wait for her to reach out.

I’ll probably say something like “Morning! Hope you enjoyed the parade yesterday. Looking forward to seeing you later. I’ll meet you outside [place] at [time]”.

Only sending it as last time I didn’t confirm on the day of the date she sent a sarcastic reply asking if we’re still on so she prefers it on the day I guess

[joe2511]

You know her best. Don’t worry about one text messing things up, especially since you’ve been on a few dates with her already. She’s obviously attracted to you if you’re going a third date.

She seems like she’s comfortable communicating what she likes which is good, makes your life easier. So many dates I’ve planned it seems like you’re texting into the void

[Slim57]

I mean if anything she should've said that, not you, but we don't know much about the first 2 dates either, have they gone well? If so then you should be good, if not sure then maybe you need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture of how things are going, why does she disappear for hours on end? If she doesn't give you a good reason then it's safe to say she's just really not that invested

Yeaaah that was kind of cringe😅, but not every woman will think that.

[anonparrot1]

Is that enough to ghost someone/lose interest? Seeing as it’ll have been over a day, I’ll send her a morning text tomorrow that she likes and just say that i’m looking forward to later

[Opinion Owner]

Personally if I don’t respond to someone for a day then I’m not feeling the situation, but of course everyone is different. If you send the good morning text, please ASK if she’s still down to hang out later. It’s far more comfortable when you give her a choice rather than dictating to her. Saying “I’ll meet you here at this time” takes away her opportunity to decide if she wants to go, and if she is, incorporate any changes she’d like to make to time and location.

Third date I wouldn’t be panicking about it if she has been punctual for the first two

[anonparrot1]

A day later and got no reply. I’ll send her a morning text asking about the parade and say that i’m looking forward to later if she’s still up for it

[Anonymous]

Similar mistake most guys seem to be making. You see her as above you. That good morning text won't do you any good either.

[anonparrot1]

She told me she likes good morning texts. Last time I didn’t speak to her on the day of the date she had to confirm with me if we were still on and sent a jokingly sarcastic message

[Opinion Owner]

If she likes good morning texts then she can initiate them. Telling you she likes them is more a chance to see if you will do what she wants. Being left on read is rude anyway, I wouldn't even bother.
