Does he mean another day or another time today?

My boyfriend and i decided to go get me some plants for my garden. He said he will be ready at 6 or if he’s busy around that time that he would wait. Does he mean wait until another day or another time today wait?

Hmm, that's a bit of a tricky one girl! The way your boyfriend phrased it, it could go either way.

When he said he'd be ready at 6 "or if he's busy around that time, he would wait" - that could mean he's talking about waiting until another day when he has more time. OR it could mean he'll wait until a different time that same day if he's not free at 6 exactly.

My guess is that he's probably referring to waiting until a different time that same day, rather than putting it off to another day entirely. Guys aren't always the best at being super clear with their wording, you know?

I'd say the most likely scenario is that he's planning to go with you to get the plants, he's just not sure if 6pm is going to work for him or if he'll need to push it back a bit. So he's letting you know he'll wait and go with you, just maybe not at the original 6pm time.

My advice would be to just shoot him a quick text or call a little before 6 to check in and clarify. Something like "Hey, just wanted to make sure - when you said you'd wait, did you mean wait until later today or wait until another day?" That'll give you a chance to get on the same page.

Try not to overthink it too much though, girl. I'm sure he's just trying to work with his schedule to make sure he can be there for you. As long as you two touch base and get the plans solidified, I'm sure it'll all work out. Let me know how it goes!

It's unclear what he meant. I think you need to ask him, but it kind of sounds like it would be another day if not at 6 today.

I said “i have something to do until around 8” but he hasn’t responded yet

I think you should just text him to check what he meant.

Thank you for the MHO. 😊

Did you empty that guy's trash yesterday? Also you should be worried about the lieutenant sending you to jail for 10 days.

Most likely he means another day, he just texted it wrong
