I'm not sure if this has been written about already, but this is an observation from my own personal experiences as well as others.

Thank you to u/summerpoodle for the inspiration for this post.

Don't be a weekday chick.

I repeat. Do not be a weekday chick. It's not cute or endearing that he's dying to see you for a small window of time after his work Monday-Thursday. It's not a coincidence you happen to fit perfectly in his schedule during these times. It's not a coincidence you're doing cute things like "grocery shopping" and "meal prepping" together. This is a way to build false intimacy and make you believe that there could be potential for a future together, when he's just using you and stringing you along for things he would have done on his own anyways.

He is fitting you into his schedule out of convenience for HIM.

It takes 0 effort to incorporate someone into your life while you're doing mundane things during a week night. Weekdays aren't necessarily thrilling or filled with events and activities and are usually reserved for going to bed early and preparing for the remainder of your work week.

Weekdays are reserved for the plates/side chicks.

I'm speaking from personal experience here. If I wasn't seriously interested in a man and not interested in pursuing things further than a superficial relationship, I only slotted his time with me during the week. For some reason, I liked choosing Thursday's and if you were the man I was seeing on a Thursday, you were low on the totem poll for interest. Why Thursday's? It made it less obvious that I was just slotting him into my schedule, and Thursday was still close to the end of the week to make him believe there could be a possibility for something more someday. Men do the same thing. Men will reserve their weekends to spend time with their "bros" to scout new women, or spend their weekends with their "main chick" aka the woman that is fully incorporated into his life, who met all of his friends, and has the ability to develop into something more serious and substantive.

HOWEVER - Just because a man spends Friday and Saturday nights with you doesn't mean he's serious about you 100% of the time. Unless you're integrated in his life in some way, hanging out with you is just a backup plan because all of his bros fell through or his main prospects weren't avaliable.

If a man only offers to see you on a weekday, sis he ain't the one for you.

I'm waiting for the pickmeishas to come for me in the comments, and I know how controversial this post is.
