I had plans to meet a woman tonight from Match. I sent her a text this afternoon about it. She says, "I didn't hear from you so I cancelled my babysitter." We talked yesterday, and I texted after work. There was no reason for her to think I was backing out. I told her I wasn't like that. If I wasn't gonna do something, I would tell her. Why can't women just say they don't want to meet?

Why can't men?

When you talked and texted yesterday did that include confirming your plans?

Bummer! Was there a miscommunication?

Hopefully you can reschedule the date

Here's a great idea. Rather than text, why didn't you just call. Texting is inadequate for conversations such as that.

But....

If she does it once, chalk it up to crossed wires.

If she does it twice, big fat red flag.

If she does it three times, then don't even bother calling her again.

Why can't you stop jumping to conclusions?

Why would anyone assume the plan was dead unless I tell her? Is an hourly update really necessary?

Apparently she needed more of an update than she had.

We don't know what you "talked about" with her, and she may have had experience with flakes in the past.

So the last time you were in contact with her, you made clear that you were looking forward to meeting her at X time at Y place?

I mentioned this in my text to her last night. Today just before 3, I texted her about tonight. She said she hadn't heard from me so she figured I was "skipping out". So, I texted her last night, texted her this afternoon. Why would she think the plan was scrapped unless that's what she wanted to think?
