Been on 16 straight first dates and counting with no flakes...this isn't including the second, third, f dates, etc that I have set up as well...
I have pretty much perfected my method I use, which I believe helps prevent flaking
1) No long text conversations...initial text followed by a short response to her text and immediately asking a version of "what's your schedule like this week" or "I wanted to grab a drink with you, what days this week are you free"
2) Once she responds with what days she is free wait a few hours and then CALL her for a few minutes of smalltalk and then set up the date. Try to keep this 5 mins or less but no more than 10 max...make up an excuse to get off the phone if need be...
3) If she doesn't answer DO NOT leave a VM. Wait a few mins and shoot her a text like "Usually prefer finalizing things via the phone, but no big deal. Let's meet at xxx on Friday ay 8pm"
4) A lot of times they will text something after seeing you called before you text that message...just text that message to them. Many times they will offer to call and talk...I usually decline with an excuse like I'm headed to the gym since I've already accomplished what I wanted, which is set up the date. I'd recommend NOT talking as you can do more harm than good...she has already agreed to go out...
5) No texts before date...if she initiates its OK to send a few brief ones but then let her know you are busy and you will see her on whatever day..be polite but short in these texts
6) Meet up...if you've done things properly you should rarely get flaked on...it will still happen occasionally but this will reduce it a lot...
Have fun and lay them ho's out!!
