If someone cancels on you day of for a first date how do you respond?
She canceled saying she was “so sorry”. Reason seemed legit but she didn’t ask to reschedule so idk if I should throw that out

Demand an answer. Repeatedly. Preferably with multiple calls and messages

And then when you get an answer, ghost them

The correct answer is to drink too much and smoke a pack of cigs tonight. Maybe play some angsty 90’s jams before dropping a “you up” txt to the one(s) that always want it.

Give one chance to reschedule. My response was always “Don’t worry about it! Let me know when you’re free and we can get something else planned.” That way you’re not begging for another date and the ball is in her court. If she’s flaky about the second chance, drop it

like

Mck1 - why waste your energy on someone flaking on you? It’s not being passive; it’s subtlety letting her know that she can reschedule if she wants, but you’re good to move on if she doesn’t

No reschedule means less or no interest. Babe got a better deal maybe

Know ya worth. As the above popular answer said, give them the ball to reschedule, but not worth pursuing. There’s either not enough interest, something genuinely came up and she will reschedule, or they’re playing games. 1 & 3 are no-gos.

What works every time is tell her “I didn’t take you as the flaky type, what day is good for you?”

Lol this is pick up artist shit

If she canceled day of her mind maybe preoccupied with whatever that reason is for canceling. I would reach out the beginning of next week and ask if she wants to reschedule 🤷‍♂️

You’re allowed a freebie ask

She doesn’t know you yet. Be persistent, if she isn’t interested after 1st date you’re out.

People don’t want to be sold, they want to buy.

K Camp - Cut Her Off

You gotta work the situation some more, a phone conversation to suss out the mutual interest and see if there is something there. She will appreciate if you work for it a bit, validate her.

If you have to do mental gymnastics to make it not sting, it should sting and you should look for someone that doesn’t leave you guessing.

She’s not interested, and like most guys/girls, is not going to simply say that. It’s considered mean. So canceling with no plans to reschedule is your answer.

I went on a date last week and it went really well. We basically set up 2nd & 3rd dates that night. 2nd date's Friday for drinks and 3rd date is drag brunch. Date had to end pretty early bc she's in the med field and needs to wake up around 5am. I'm new to dating people my own gender and I want to make moves but I'm nervous/hesitant since I'm new to this. There was light touching, leaning in, eye contact, but I want to do more. Anything I should do on the 2nd date? How to initiate?

You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes?
