See this is disingenuous because women are the masters of having a roster which is a concept that we do not understand as younger men. When you text a woman ”let’s get dinner at x date and time” and she responds “I’ll let you know” it’s typically because she is leaving her options open in hopes that someone comes with a better plan. If a guy does, she will flake on you…if one doesn’t, she’ll accept the date. Often times this yes or no doesn’t come until the day of the date leaving men with cancelled plans at the last minute.


That’s why it makes sense as men for us to have a roster too so that we are not tethered to non-commital answers. When you get the “I’ll let you know text” you have two options:


  1. Refuse non-committal answer and ask that she gives you a time and date she knows she can keep.

  2. Double book the day and time so that when the day comes that she hits you with the “I can’t go” it does not interfere with your day and if she hits you with the last minute “yes” you say “I’m sorry, I didn’t hear from you so I made other plans,”.

This is the easiest way to live as a man in the dating world…when you only have one, you may be able to tell her that you are a man of value and options but it’s much harder to show it. Once she realizes that you aren’t going to sit around waiting for her she will know that she ain’t the one for you or that she needs to get some “act right”.
