Hypothetical

Let's say you make tentative plans (via text) with someone you just met, and respond with the dates you're available.

This person has not responded since you provided the available dates, 3 days ago.  Those available dates are rapidly approaching. 

Do you re-contact the person by phone?  Or let it drop and assume they'll get back to you when they are available?  Or do you assume the person reconsidered and you should forget they ever existed?

Re: Hypothetical

  • Depends on the intentions with said person. If it is just a friendly thing, then just wait it out and see if they contacted me. Sometimes people forget. However, if it was more of a romantic thing, I'd probably text them (but only once) and ask them if they were still on for said plans. If they didn't respond after that, I'd go with the last option. :)
  • Do you really want to hang out with this person?  If yes, send another text. 

    If not, I'd drop it and assume tentative plans are off.

  • Hmm.  I have a strong history of getting blown off (maybe I should take a hint?) by certain people in my past so I tend to get cynical and not take tentative plans for granted.  However if I just met the person perhaps I would re-contact by phone.

    Who would ever blow you off?  You're adorable.

  • Yeah, I guess ditto what pp said. If you want to hang out with them, I would text/email them again asking if they still wanted to meet up and to let me know. If they didn't respond to that I would drop it and forget about the plans.

    I know there are times when a friend of mine will say through email "hey, let's hang out this weekend, I'll text you!" and I'll say "ok" and then she never texts me. Unless I really want to hang with her, I never bother confirming with her if we're still on or not. But if I do feel like I want to hang out, I'll text her myself.
