You may have agreed to go on a first date, but now you're regretting it.
Maybe you decided you're not really into that BBW action, or maybe she's a bit crazy... or you do want to see her again, but something else came up that's important and you have to reschedule.
In this post, you'll learn:
And a lot more. Let's get into it.
This is going to be by text message, obviously. Unless you want to waste your whole day to go track her down and tell her in person that you're not going to be able to make that first date.
In that case, that means you’re crazy, probably. But if not, try this:
"Hey, Jenny, I'm so sorry, but I'm not going to be able to make it tomorrow. Best of luck."
If you use a message like this, it's going to be pretty clear that you don't want to see her again.
It's not just about tomorrow's date, it's about forever. Meaning you plan to spend an eternity without her.
However, if you do want to see her, try this instead:
"Hey, Jenny, I'm really sorry for this last minute notice, but I can't make it tomorrow for (insert reason here)".
Whatever your reason is, you're going to put it there. Make sure it's legit, obviously, and that'll make it sincere so can it pass a lot more effectively.
"...But I definitely want to get together. How is Wednesday or Thursday night instead?"
Now, by adding a couple of alternative days to meet her, you're letting her know that you're serious. You actually do want to meet her again.
You're not just flaking, but something actually did come up. That's a good idea, because you want to make sure she knows that.
Keep in mind, if this is the first date you're rescheduling, there's a good chance that she's not going to reschedule with you.
Girls are like squirrels, because they'll run for the smallest thing. So if you're canceling that first date, there's a good chance she has other options, and she'll just go for those easier options instead.
