Unclear plans aren’t casual: they’re costly. You don’t need “vibes” - you need a time and a table.
Framework
Ask Early: Make the Friday ask by Wednesday.
• If you wait until Thursday night or later, 60% of plans fall through.
• If they’re still “seeing what the week looks like,” exit or downgrade interest.
Lock Details: Confirm time and place by Thursday 8 PM.
• If it's vague by then - exit or make other plans.
• If they say “maybe,” or send “let’s play it by ear,” treat it as a no.
Same Page: Gauge intent by effort and speed.
• If they offer a place or exact time first: green flag.
• If they ask what you feel like, then go silent for 12+ hours: exit.
Standards on paper: 2 effort signals, 3 non-negotiables noted before the week starts.
Cadence: Friday plans confirmed by Thursday 8 PM latest. No “what are you doing later?” on the day-of.
Quick Wins
• Text your availability (day + time range) in 1 message.
• Confirm time and place by Thursday 8 PM or close the loop.
• Ask 2 logistics questions: location preference and timing.
• Send 1 follow-up max if they go quiet.
Script: “Totally cool either way, just need to lock this by tonight or I’ll pivot.”
If-Then Fallbacks
• If Friday is still vague by 8 PM Thursday, then make other plans.
• If they cancel without rescheduling in the same message, then exit.
• If they ghost after suggesting the plan: immediate exit.
• If they confirm cleanly with a time/place by Thursday, then continue.
• If 3+ texts needed just to set up a simple plan, then switch channels or opt out.
Clear plans show clear interest. Everything else is noise.
One Metric: By Thursday 8 PM: confirmed day, time, and place. If not, do not hold the slot.
Proof over promises.
