🐳 How To Cancel Plans Last Minute Reddit
A guy who I consider as a great friend keeps canceling dates and today was the last straw. We were supposed to go on a date yesterday and he cancelled, understandably so, because he went to a party and stayed up late. He promised me that we'd see each other today and spend the day out. I asked him if he was sure maybe 2 times and he said yes.
Another last-minute cancellation. I'm usually by myself or stuck with my toxic family most of the time so it stinks when a brighter opportunity comes along and doesn't work out. I hope I can talk to them in a calmer setting. right now I'm in full split mode but at least I'm more aware of that now knowing I have bpd. thank you <3
Ooh, not a date but I actually ghosted a friend once because they kept canceling on me last minute and I was generally sick of them controlling every hang out since I always had to revolve around their schedule, and they were generally very micromanage-y. I'm definitely not proud of this story, but in hindsight that screams anxious protest
Kids are unpredictable, especially if the coparent isn’t 100% reliable or they don’t have a set custody schedule. Second one yea, most likely not worth your time. Most ppl can give a heads up ahead of time. A guy cancelled on me 3 hrs ahead of time and gave very detailed reasons and didn’t reschedule for a few days.
What I've taken on this is to focus on the action, how it makes me feel, is it what I want. The action was to cancel dates or change the plans last minute (he would have been 3hrs late for me on each date if he had his way), it didn't make me feel good and I don't want to date someone that flakey who can only see me in the evenings.
It's understandable though if you don't want to tell him why you're canceling. Just mention that you're not feeling 100%. If this guy doesn't understand, then you probably don't want to be in a relationship with him to begin with. Whatever you decide, do not feel guilty because you made a decision based on your period.
2. Start prepping the letdown early. A few days before your scheduled outing, start planting the bailout seeds. “Hey,” you’ll text with sticky soy sauce fingers from your third order of sushi takeout this week, “I’m not sure I’ll be able to make it on Saturday.”. You don’t have to formulate an excuse just yet.
It seems selfish and rude to me. The other relatives with kids never cancel or change the plans, it’s only one sibling but somehow they decide to change plans for the entire family because something pops up last minute. My family keeps their plans when they make them, so I don’t really understand the constant flakiness.
roughly 1/2 of mine cancel less than 24 hours ahead of time. usually they're sick. sometimes they get stuck at work. sometimes their grandma had a stroke. basically i just assume that the date isn't going to happen, until we are standing in front of each other. That's a smart way to think about it. Tinder women will find a way to flake.
