You might as well just pull out of the date completely. If you're going for gauging her interest level or looking to appear masculine, high value, etc. Pulling out an hour or two before with "something came up luv smh can we reschedule?". This is actually what I do when I feel like a girl hasn't give me enough evidence (pictures, dirty talk, reciprocation of sexual talk, fantasy discussions, etc) 6 out of the 6 girls I've done this with have ended up ****ing me when we did reschedule. So I see where OP is coming from, but I'd rather just completely pull out especially if I have options or other women/Plates who I know I will get sex from that evening, or want to go out with my friends. The ability to pull out on women is huge. It's allowed me to juggle multiple women because I have that confidence and experience of pulling out, so I never truly feel stuck with certain plans. You simply check back in with them a couple hours later, "Hey babes, my fault again smh I owe you big time" to smooth it out and let her know you have feelings.
