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?
Although I didn't meet my now partner on a holiday weekend, we had our first face-to-face meeting in the early afternoon on Independence Day.
We had begun chatting a few days before; neither of us saw any good reason to delay meeting up with one another even if we only got together for a brief coffee date.
I agree with my fellow Pittsburgher ()--go ahead and ask if she'd like to find time to meet up rather than making assumptions. The worst that she could say is no, right?
I think I may go for that instead. Plus you dont want to make it look like you dont have any plans at all during a summer holiday weekend.
MM, I don't think that anyone is going to think much of it if you don't have plans for the holiday weekend given current events.
Even if the plague wasn't rolling through, relax and don't worry so much about what a woman would think if you weren't already occupied this weekend. Not everyone is a social butterfly with a full dance card. Besides, if she saw you in a negative light because of your lack of solid plans, is that the sort of petty-minded person with whom you'd want to develop a relationship?
Who knows? *She* might not have plans, but you wouldn't know since you're assuming that she does without asking.

I will mention early friday to her when we chat tomorrow since that is the very beginning of the weekend.

I agree to an extent that having a limited social life can be a yellow flag for some people when dating, but I don't agree that playing games to create the appearance of a busier social life is a solution. If she cares about your holiday weekend plans (or lack thereof), it will probably come up in conversation anyway. If not, you might as well ask if she's free. She might say yes

Are you saying when you chat tomorrow you are going to ask her about getting together early on Friday?
As for my experience, I don't remember a holiday or holiday weekend ever getting in the way of meeting someone new or getting together with them for the first time.
You've had one conversation. Have some more conversations this week, get to know each other some more before asking to meet already. Holiday weekend or not.
