Literally don’t make it too complicated, it’s fine just confirming “still good for “whatever” at “when”; if she was going to flake she is going to do it regardless

If the date is in the afternoon/evening, I like to do the INDIRECT confirm the day of. The day before women are in a completely different mindset than the day of. It helps you screen out flakes much more reliably.
I like the vague indirect confirmation, "Found out something interesting about ____, see you at __" - It's not needy, you expect her to deliver on the expectations she's set, and it's more likely to cause curiosity/intrigue that may push a girl who's planning on flaking to come through.
What that 'interesting thing' is can be anything you want it to be at the moment, to fit the scenario, or something you pre-planned.

I like this BUT (I’m clutching at straws here so it’s no big deal)
It looks like you don’t know about where you’re going already
That you’ve been thinking about the date in your free time
Like you are more focused on what the date is instead of WHO you are going with

1) Context is there's a date already scheduled to where you're going, you found something out about where you're going.
2) It's a day-of date text. I think it's excusable to be thinking about a date the day that it's supposed to happen without giving up your power. It's no more needy than a "Dress in __ , see you at _"
3) This is early on. You don't know enough about each other yet to really offer anything about the WHO.
There are easy workarounds. I once had a date where I told her I'd pick her up but didn't tell her where, "Dress like you might need to run from the police" - went to a trampoline park. Being too wrapped up in how you present makes dating an insufferable experience, just need to do more good than bad.

Your last paragraph sound wayyy more fun and exciting that “I found xyz about the place” just makes you sound like a nerd lol
[–]Nullroute127 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
It is, but also you couldn't use that as a generic line. It was calibrated to the girl and the context. Some girls would bail so quickly after getting that line even if they know you.
[–]modsRlameIRL 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Exactly
The “I found xyz at the place” doesn’t have any kind of tone, inside joke or anything

Christ… has anyone in this threat ever dated.
Of course it is ok to text with a “are we still on for later”… I do this with girls and they do it with me as well. To think that a simple question like this lowers your value is absurd, unless all your value is created via a facade and you are horrendously insecure.
The higher value man who gets multiple dates with multiple beautiful women a week does not even think “if I text this girl in advance” I’ll come across as insecure. He cannot be insecure, because he know she has options.
He just texts, if he doesn’t get a positive response he bails and onto the next one.
Seduction, as people will have you believe is a game. It is not a game that you can learn, it’s about improving yourself and becoming a more attractive person through years of trial and error.
When you are genuinely attractive, you won’t be posting these types of questions on Reddit as you will know that Reddit will not give you experienced answers.
Man get out there, read, learn to speak with intelligence, develop your own way of flirting, develop your own style, stay in good shape, how to smile, how to clearly communicate intentions in person. What works for me, will not work for you and vice versa because we are all different, but you need to find this out yourself from years of trial and error.

Totally agree man, it's all experience, and trial and error.
[–]CompetitionFair7686 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
No never say the words: “are we still (positive thing you want)?”
It makes you come across as insecure.
Don’t ask it like that if you want to confirm:
Say something like “wear something cute tomorrow” or “don’t forget to bring your smile tomorrow”
asking the question “are we still going to the date”, just sounds so lame
[–]modsRlameIRL 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I’ve almost turned a girl off with the “wear something cute” so I changed it to “the dress code is chill tomorrow so no need to wear heels… Im sure you’ll keep it cute tho :)”
[–]inawlaah 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Those are golden responses, imma save them, thanks a lot!
[–]burakbenxd 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Either way guys, she flaked. I learned my mistake. It's all a learning experience. I'll go out tonight and have fun either way.
[–]Thony311 -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I would just start a regular convo and bring up the reminder in the middle of it
[–]Stujitsu2 -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Tonight at 7 is still good for me, how about you? Great, see you then!

Interesting, so I shouldn't ask about confirming our date for tomorrow?
[–][deleted] 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
True, and alright. I mean if she flakes, I'm just going to go out either way lol. I already had that in the back of my mind. But she's really interested, so, I don't know haha
The texting seemed that way. But I always had the mindset that she could be easily replaced. So, I mean, I was prepared for that and as shitty as it sounds had an abundance mindset.
[–]IGiveSilverBullets 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
that’s stupid as fuck just ask the question
[–]burakbenxd 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Yeah, that's what I was also thinking too.. I'll just do it in a bit.
[–]BigTBoneDog 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Typically an std check is a good 'follow up'
I say “hey miss, I’ll be there before you so if get lost or running late just let me know :)”
thats weird i just said looking forward to tomorrow btw!
I know you think it’s silly but that text you sent allows you more space to revive the “don’t hate me 🥲” reply
It’s sounds dumb I know but you being more into the date than she is can be a turn off lol

Text her in the morning: "See ya tonight^^"
