Now you know he's a complete jerk and you are better off knowing that.

I also wouldn’t text and ask for a time. Of course I would do that with my husband or a girlfriend, but not with a man who just asked me on a first date.

Agreed!!!

I decided to text. He didn't respond. Going out with friends instead. I think in the future I will use your approach. If a guy wants my time he can ask for it properly.

Excellent course. It’s always best to be direct. Have an awesome night.

PS I agree men do suck at this. My husband does.

This entirely. My partner has a clear idea of time, but often forgets to tell me. It’s ok to ask.

It’s different if it’s your husband or long term partner. Assuming that men have the best of intentions, but are just inept, is how women get themselves into trouble.

I'm not in trouble, nor have I ever been in trouble.

Good for you!

How are you going to seem desperate when he unasked you out? The time just slipped his mind. Text him.

Im glad to have closure on this before the weekend.

I have no issue with OP texting and getting her answer so she can figure out her plans. But I also don’t think a guy who really wants a date to happen would leave things to chance by not confirming and firming up the time a day or two before.

Guy here: If I agreed to a date, and we had a time and place, I would never follow-up the day before. I keep my word and if I said I would be somewhere at a particular time and place, I'll be there. To re-confirm the day before seems to me to signify that what I said before didn't count, so I had to double-check. Sometimes women would text the day before to make sure we were still on, and other times they didn't show up because they assumed that I wasn't coming because I didn't confirm. But I figured that, if they wanted assurance, they could text me. And, moreso, if they didn't show after making a definite plan, I was happy, because I learned a lot about their character.

You seem like a jerk.

There's no obligation to reconfirm since both people should be adults and honor their commitments. But there is also no issue with someone reconfirming if they have a doubt for some reason.

It's not all so damned serious people!

I assumed OP and the guy had set a date but not a time. She wasn’t specific in her post.
