I think you’ve got a good approach. I like to save convo for the date. Too much texting sets the wrong tone. Random texts like you suggested are too much at this stage in the game (imo).

Ehhhhhhhhh
See im a lot like you where I'm cold, I dont text beforehand and If they don't show up or they cancel, I just shrug it off. I am a strong advocate on the cold-game. Redditors HATE it. Redditors will tell you to be upfront and honest, and tell her how you really feel, because its probably the right thing to do.
But in a harsh world, where competition is everywhere, you have to have your guard up. So even sending a text like, "hey hope you have fun at the concert. See you tomorrow" ...yeah, sure, that's sweet and nice but it puts you in a vulnerable position. What if she replies: "Thanks!" And that's it? What if she doesn't reassure you that she's coming tomorrow? It also kind of suggests you're thinking about it, meanwhile, she's out having fun, NOT thinking about it.
I am not saying ANY of that is true. Im just saying this is how my brain works. Again, im a cold bitch.
I tend to personally gravitate toward the more subtle guys like yourself who don't act too fast and don't shoot their shot. I like mystery and the chase. If you're cold toward me, but you asked me to hangout, hell yes im hanging out with you! If I don't hang out with you, its probably because I was scared you'd hurt me in the long run.

All good points. I’ll text her tomorrow with a time and location.
What do guys do to make you feel like they will hurt you in the long run? I’m just casually dating and I’m really not trying to be in a relationship, but I’m not trying to break any hearts either. Too much fucking guilt, lol.

I will fill you in on a secret based on my friend group and my experience with girls: we don't want a guy to obsess over us. But if you DON'T obsess over us, we are vastly interested and constantly answering the question, why!? 😂
So guys who don't answer texts right away make me think they're not that interested in texting me. Guys who don't bother to make plans during the day but will make plans at night. Guys who don't laugh at everything I say. Guys who don't always agree with my opinion. Guys who have friends that a girls. These are the things that might make me think im going to get my heart broken.
As opposed to guys who always text back right away, always make plans, always reassure me, always laugh at my jokes...those guys are da bomb and I might look for them to be in a relationship with, but I might not be head over heels for them as much as I would a guy who plays it cool.

Is this the case for guys you haven’t met in person? If a girl hits me up before we met or we’ve been on a date or two I usually don’t text back right away. I always felt it looks like I’m too excited or obsessing. Plus I just prefer to text people when I have some free time
Yeah kind of. If you see our pic or see us in person and you don't reply right away, that's a good thing! But at the same time we're like...why isn't this person super eager to message me?

You don't get flaked on because you come across as disinterested. You get flaked on because you are ambiguous and have no direction or know what you want. It is completely okay to communicate as little as humanly possible, but instead of saying "hey of you want to maybe we can hang out one of these days sometime", why don't you say "let's go out. How is Thursday for you? Great. I will pick you up at 8pm, wear something sexy. See ya!" Or if you can't pick her up "meet me at 8pm at XYZ place and put on something sexy".
Now that's a MAN who knows what he wants! What woman wouldn't want to go out with him.
