What exactly is the etiquette for "confirming" dates? Day before? Same day? Is it true that if you don't confirm it early enough, the day isn't happening? What if you just send them a calendar reminder, does that count as confirmation?

I have been on many dates and this only came up recently, I had never actually heard of this before because unless something truly comes up (never happened yet), I mean the date for me was confirmed the moment we both agreed to it.

i don't think men ever do this with each other, and a lot of women don't either, but some women do, they see it as being polite since flaking is so common nowadays. and these women seem to also want it from men.

i think the evening before is okay.
>>
>>34074531
day before. Calendar reminder feels off unless you’re also linking the adres of wherever you’re going with it.
Just a quick “Hey, can’t wait to see you” or “are you still up for tmrw” is all that you need lol
>>
>>34074551
>“are you still up for tmrw”
That sounds kind of weak and beta desu.
>>
You confirm the date and the date is set. It's pretty simple. If they are flaky and try to put it on you that just disrespectful and gaslighting you to believe this imature behavior is normal.
>>
>>34074531
never. if you're that retarded that you can't remember a date, or you think i'm to retarded so i won't remember to show up, fuck off
>>
So let's say you asked a girl out on a Wednesday, and you are going out that Friday night, you should still confirm on Thursday? Doesn't that seem kind of being too clingy.
>>
>>34074582
of course it does, it makes you look like a desperate psycho
>>
>>34074564
Yeah i’m a woman lmao, just reword it to your own style of speech. That said don’t worry too much about sounding weird through text, much better than trying to be nonchalant and ending up dry
>>
>>34074590
Exactly! This feels like a trap, and I am trying to figure out what women that do this are playing at here.
>>
>>34074582
Thursday is overkill but the morning of is fine. But instead you just say that you’re on your way like 10 minutes before actually leaving your house
>>
Yes, you should always confirm the date.
>>34074618
10 minutes before is not a confirmation!. If they didn't text me by say noon the day of at the latest to confirm, I'm not spending 2 hours getting ready and putting on makeup and doing my hair for a date that I don't know will even happen.
>>
>>34074531
I never did this in my life, if I or my date would for whatever reason be unable to make it, we would call the other party at the time obstacle was revealed and reschedule.
I mean wtf, who the fuck "confirms" dates ffs, this is not a scrum meeting
>>
>>34074657
This just blows my mind that guys think it is ok to not check in before the date, like not even a "Hey looking forward to tonight!" or something like that to reassure us the date is actually happening. If you can't spend 5 to 10 seconds to send a quick text, I sure as hell am not spending the 2 plus hours to get ready.
>>
>>34074689
Just assume that the agreed upon plans are still agreed upon unless explicitly cancelled. Do you treat doctors appointments this way?
>>
>>34074689
We already set a date you retarded whore, if herpes ate your brain and you can't remember a date, or are rude enough not to cancel when you're screwing tyrone, fuck off
>>
>>34074698
Its zoomer brain. I theorise that its a form of under developed object permanence
>>
>>34074698
>>34074707
You assholes don't understand how easy it is for women to get stood up like this without a confirmation. If you are really interested and not just wasting our time or messing around, you will confirm the date.
>>
>>34074698
>Do you treat doctors appointments this way?
Lol yes, you moron. Doctors literally call a day or two before to confirm your appointment. Its standard practice in literally every doctors office
>>
>>34074747
Not all women are whores

Women who actually chose a partner, would gladly bet "2 plus hours to get ready" on trust they didn't pick some random nigger of the street

>>34074752
Not mine or any of those ive used in the past.

Just admit that you're a mannerless degenerate anon, most won't judge you.
>>
>>34074776
>Not mine or any of those ive used in the past.
I don't know what third world shit hole you live in but in the developed world doctor's offices always call to confirm appointments. Your comparison actually proves the opposite of your argument.

>Just admit that you're a mannerless degenerate anon, most won't judge you.
I don't know how to explain the real world to autists. It just isn't a skill I have, sorry.
