I was wanting to hear the language some of you guys use when you are setting up the date like as far as determining the day and availability. I seem to only see some variation of 3 options and wonder if there is perhaps a better way.

  1. Are you free on ****?
  2. Are you free on either *** or ****?
  3. When are you free? /What's a good time for you?

Option 1 has a high risk of her being busy already on any one particular day but then there is also the likelihood of her suggesting another day so that is a plus.

Option 2 gives her a choice between two days so there is a good chance she will be free one of those days. It also sort of indirectly communicates you have things going on since you're saying you have only two days free. I usually use this line but then it's annoying if the girl is busy both days.

Option 3 probably has a high likelihood of finding out a time but it's probably a bit too accommodating because you're basically saying you'll meet her when it's convenient for her. A bit too old school and beta.

Thoughts?
