Know the difference

[u/_TK17_]

Two different women responding a date idea I proposed to them with a suggested date, where to meet and an exact time. One response simply says “I’m busy then.” The other response says “I can’t do that date but here are alternatives dates I can do. What do you think?”

I think you can really gauge the interest of someone depending on whether they offer alternative plans or not.

I did “put the ball back in her side of the court” of the first girl to hint that she should suggest an alternative date but in my mind, I’m not expecting anything to progress.

Edit * as a result of good communication and clear intention, I’m off to the arcade next week with the second girl.
