A little bit, yeah. It's kind of the middle point between being straightforward and cancelling, and just ghosting the person.

It's better than ghosting but not as good as straight up saying let's not see each other and cutting bait

But it could be legit. She should be trying to reschedule though or at least open to you rescheduling. If not, move on.

EDIT: saw the timestamp, misread

it's not the most offensive excuse ever. text again tomorrow afternoon and ask to reschedule. if you get no reply or more bullshit then you can bail

It's likely bullshit. But I mean she's either still somewhat interested but had plans with friends come up that trump yours or she doesn't know how to reject.

Sounds like a made-up excuse to me, I say just respond saying, "No problem, I totally understand, hit me up when you are available and we will reschedule."

Then don't text her again until she reaches out. Assume that she won't reach out, because she probably won't.

That is the most socially graceful thing to do, I think. It leaves the door open for her if she wants to resume things, but takes the onus of reaching out to reschedule off of you and allows you to move on to better things.

That's fair. I guess my way of looking at it is, if she's on the fence, then why am I bothering? I'd rather focus my efforts elsewhere, especially if she's already agreed to and then flaked on a date.

What I don't get why she texted me first about it instead of waiting for me to text her "Are we still meeting tonight"?

Yeah, that is unfortunately a thing. Sometimes men will become aggressive or violent towards women who reject them, and women are very aware of this, so they will often take measures to avoid the chance of that happening, even with men who don't otherwise seem to be dangerous.

Women and men, frankly don't get called on their shit enough that's why they lead people down a road that doesn't go anywhere. It's a cultural problem that stems from not taking personal accountability.

in all seriousness, just move on. If someone wants to hang out they'll make an effort, if they don't well you just part ways and don't think about them again

If she was interested she would have offered an alternative time/date to meet herself. Since she didn't, I would assume she's not interested, so you should just respond to her the way @MrToothHasYou said.

I think texting her asking to reschedule is the best option.

1 of 3 things will happen

  1. I get ghosted.
  2. She replies with "Yeah, I am not feeling it"
  3. We do set another time for a date.

a simple "cool let me know" works. you can throw in 'whenever you want' or 'if you want' or 'was looking forward to it' or some other sappiness if it's too short and sweet for ya.

Not sure I would even say that. If she isn't really interested, him sounding at her beck-and-call makes it worse. He should just make her wonder.

Most likely not gonna work either way though.

This is online dating, bro. She probably thinks a wassup from Chad is a marriage proposal.

I gotta put pressure on otherwise she's just going to choose Chad.

Um, I am very aware of online dating and I was very good at it. She is noncommittal, move on. I know from plenty of experience that any successful relationships or flings that I have had that the women act more interested than that text you showed.

I know this might be stalking but I do check if they're active on Tinder.

I see if their distance has changed and if hasn't it means they haven't opened up the app lately.

If she is legitimately busy then she would probably take a break from swiping.
