Sup guys. I am getting tired of being unable to set something up. I try to be as direct as possible, I want to meet up, do something fun. But I just can't get them to even meet me in person and it just makes me want to give up on woman overall.

For example, this girl lives very close to me, 10 minutes away. I matched on Tinder, opened with something good. She told me that was the best she received. Made her laugh, told her I wanted to do something, got number. Talked a bit. She wanted another picture to be sure I was not catfishing her. Made sure she sent something first and she did (even made sure she got a spoon in the pic). Then I sent her a pic and she said I did not catfish her. Good.

Now my idea was to do something like bowling. Please take in mind, I never did something like this. But I thought it would be a good thing to do, it's something active and it takes away a lot of the pressure. You can make jokes, especially about her bowling skills for example.

First she said she is not good at bowling and wanted those rails. Replied with "Hold on, how old are you again?". I said fine. Then she replies with "then everyone will make fun of us". I said "so what, you're not there for other people". I know women want you to put in effort but man...

Then she comes with the idea to go to the cinema. I'm like "really, you want to be silent for 1.5 hours?". She agreed. (Maybe I should have agreed with this idea because, just because)

I don't even remember how many days later, she suddenly wants to go bowling. Told her I already had other plans. 1 hour later I told her it would not really matter if I shifted the other plan a few hours. But because I was too late with my reply she made other plans herself.

Yesterday. I say "tomorrow night we will go do something" (I am sure this is wrong, like all the other stuff I'm saying probably).

Today. She says she can't do something after 5pm. Try to set up around 2:30-3pm'ish. "But I have to cook also so...". Then she asks if I want to "date or chill" (tell me what the hell I should have said here please)? I even tried the idea to watch Django Unchained because she told me she hasn't seen that movie yet and it's almost the same as her cinema idea. Ignores that whole line and asks if I want to meetup somewhere outside with our dogs. Sorry, it's raining, not doing that.

Yeah, after typing this I know the answer already.

I should have agreed with the cinema right? I should have agreed with the dog thing right?

How do I prevent this from happening? Do I drop her faster? This is why I hate phones. I hate it. I am direct, I want to meet up, I don't care. I'm way better in person. But not the cinema, that sucks. I don't want to be sitting next to someone and not being able to say something. Walking the dogs, fine, but it's sh*t weather right now.
