Made plans for 5pm today

At 3 I asked if we were still on for 5 and she said maybe bit later(tonight) as she's busy. I said all good let me know when and I haven't got a message back yet and it's nearly 8. I assumed a bit later meant 6 or 7

She told me last night she was really excited to see me(this is our third date) so normally I'd just accept I'd be going to bed uncertain but in this circumstance I'm really considering sending another text to clarify. It doesn't seem that creepy does it?

Should I send another message or should I play it cool.

Dating is hard

First date? I don't really get first date protocol. I'd just show up, but that might be creepy.

If you have to consider if it's creepy or not, it's a big sign to not do it.

Don't be pushy, don't be eager, don't seem desperate. Play it cool, always.

If you ever blindly follow any advice in your life, take this advice. Please.

It's only because I thought it was always creepy without exception to send more messages if your first one hasnt got a reply

When you're essentially being stood up I thought maybe it's okay so I'm not sitting on my hands all night

If the first message is sent, it's there for her to see. A 2nd message won't change that. Persistence is annoying to a lot of people. If she wants to reply, she will. If not, she won't. Another "Hey, in case you didn't see my first message..." message is not the route to go. Don't get hung up, and don't get too much into your own head. Let it rest and see what happens.

Also, it's literally Christmas. A lot of people have a LOT going on right now. Consider that also.

Well yeah, but still it's the day after. You know how I feel right now? Drained and exhausted, because the holidays are a lot of work. Some people are busy through New Years, family is in town, a lot is happening. Sometimes the day after Christmas people just wanna chill out and lay around.

It's an odd time to be juggling a new potential relationship. Just be patient.

Sometimes it's good to get a strangers objective opinion

If this matters to you, and I mean this, your friends will be there regardless. They will get it if you are trying to get with a girl and you need to set them aside here and there. If your friends are good friends, it won't hurt your relationship with them at all. They will let you do your thing and understand.

You don't have to listen to me, i'm 38, I dated for years and years before I got married, i've seen the ins and outs, i've seen what friends have gone through. Most importantly, I still have a couple of those friends that made the same mistakes over and over, and continue to do so, and not learn from those mistakes. They are still single. I'm solely speaking out of experience. Others may feel differently.

The worst thing you can do is be overbearing, and that's my opinion on the matter. I hope this works out for you, and i'll check back in to see how it goes.

Not all of CE is basement dwelling nobodies who have never dated another human being.

Generalizations like this make people like us look bad. I play video games, I post on forums, I have a very good job, a college degree, and i'm married. Shocking, I know.

No it's all good advice. I'm just a chronic overthinker. I despise text communication with dating

She hit me out of the blue last night to tell me she was really excited to see me today. We'd made plans on monday but there'd been radio silence due to Christmas stuff

That's exactly how I would take it. No one is going to contact you and tell you something like that if there is no interest. If she wasn't interested, it would begin with an excuse, and then another, and a reason why she can't see you another night.

There's something there, this is an early feeling-out process. Just go with the flow.

Yeah or a ghosting.

I guess I'll go with the flow yeah. She might send an apology text tomorrow I guess

Not being overbearing seems like pretty universally good advice I needed to hear it from someone

I've gotten reliable investment advice from a bunch of racist weeb NEETs on the internet. You should try it some time.
