I like to set up my dates by calling. flake rate is very low once we confirm logistics vs texting

only issue I have is a lot of times people aren't available to just pick up the phone and talk, and when they call back, sometimes i'm not available at that time and that game gets annoying

if you text them, "hey call me when you're free" it seems like you're just sitting on your ass waiting for their call.

what would be a better option, "hey stepping out for a bit. call me if you're free." or something like "you free? gna call you in 10"
