That's true; there are often many things out of our control and then we start to over-analyse, wondering what we could have done better.

"Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can, and
the wisdom to know the difference."

I like that!

Fox - Im just going on what has worked for me bud. I'm not saying its the law...Just 90% of the time when a girl has suggested a day and time to me it's usually been changed by her...So I just wipe the problem from the equation. Plus, it make's me feel more in control of the date. Also it comes across to her that I'm a busy person who doesn't sit on my ass all day. A guy that's sociable and active...A subtle DHV.

Y45 - What you've said is fine. You can't do anymore. If you do try then you will come across as needy which am sure your aware of. I personally would say something along the lines of "No worries, another time...I've got a busy couple of weeks coming up so I'll hit you up at some point and then I can make fun of your 5 year old voice in person. :P Merry Xmas"

You done good though mate. If she ends up as a loose end then it's all a learning curve. The more you practice the easier it becomes. The easier it becomes the more of a challange you want!

Interesting Fox, I get you. Show that you DO care and are disappointed, but not to the point of neediness or irritation. Something like, "That's a shame, I was looking forward to it, but not to worry, I'm sure we will meet again soon."

I like this!

I've always said what Y45 has txt in the past, (pretty much to the letter, conincidentally!).

I'll have to give your suggestion a try sometime :)
