I dont have a problem confirming and she shouldnt either. If she does, I wont waste my time with her.
If the woman has high interest in you (and you are her best available option) I will assure you that you WILL hear from her if you set a date on Tuesday for Friday. If you havent heard from her by Thursday, its probably a bad deal anyways. That should be your gauge by which to send a confirmation text.
If she texts you daily saying that she is looking forward to seeing you, would you still confirm the day before or day of? Of course not.
You are only wanting to confirm the date because she isnt showing high interest and you are in limbo on reading her interest level. So you can either confirm (and she will respond or she wont respond) or you can go anyway if its something that you wanted to do all along and inviting her to tag along (which is what you should be doing on a first date- that way if she doesnt show up, your plans dont really change).
Get it?
Now onto something else that I have learned in my mass exodus pvssy slaying over the past 6 years:
If she isnt really reaching out (one word responses, hours and hours to reply back, hinting that she MIGHT have something happen that may prevent her from meeting up) I just simply say "OK" and I dont respond back. That also means that I DO NOT GO to the place I was supposed to meet her.
So essentially, I am flaking on her. In the past I have done this a couple of times and the chick showed up and texted me asking where I was. Honesty is my best policy, so I told them that I didnt really think they acted interested and I made other plans. One got super p!ssed and the other chased extremely hard.
But back to the topic at hand:
Confirming for some guys is a gauge on reading her interest because you werent good enough at doing so early on. For a guy like me a confirmation is just that.........making sure we are going to be there at the same time.
"Hey Nikki.......its been a super busy week and I'll need like 4 beers when we get together Friday night. Did we say 7:30 or 8 because I have been so busy at my business this week that I cant remember!?!?"
Thats my confirmation text. I am not asking IF she is coming, only making sure we are on the same time.
Make sense?
And if she doesnt respond back in a reasonable amount of time (like 6 hours) then I make other plans. You have to realize that some people genuinely get busy so dont get all psycho acting guys. Remain cool and go from there.
But dont confuse CONFIRMING with WONDERING if she is going to show up. You are only putting a bandaid on your inability to properly gauge her interest correctly and you need to work on that.
