Should you try again after he reschedules twice
Two reschedules signals low priority. How to read it and whether a third attempt is worth your time.
Two reschedules means he's not treating you like a priority right now. This isn't about him being busy. Busy people find 20 minutes. This is about where you sit in his actual schedule and what he's willing to move for.
The question isn't whether you should try again. It's whether trying again teaches him that he can keep doing this. If you reach out a third time after he cancels twice, you're showing him the pattern works. He gets to keep you interested without showing up.
A good reply here does two things: it sets a real standard for what you'll accept, and it gives him exactly one more shot without making excuses for him. You're not angry or dramatic. You're just clear about what comes next.

Two cancellations means different things after the second one
The first reschedule could be real. Work emergencies happen. Family stuff comes up. But the second one is information. It tells you that when something came up the first time, he didn't think your plans were worth protecting or rescheduling quickly.
If he wanted to see you, the second cancellation would come with a new time already locked in, not just an apology. A guy who's interested doesn't cancel twice and then leave you hanging to figure out when he's free. He cancels once, feels bad about it, and moves mountains to make it right. The second cancellation without a concrete reschedule is him telling you he's not doing that.
Your reply needs to hold him to one more plan
Don't pretend this is fine. Don't offer him five new options or tell him you're flexible whenever. Also don't blow it up or demand explanations. The move is to acknowledge the reschedule, set one specific time that works for you, and make it clear this is the shot. Not angry. Just clear.
Your reply should be short. It should not apologize or make space for more excuses. It should name a real date and time you actually have free, not 'whenever you're available.' That puts the ball back in his court in a way that matters. If he cancels a third time, you have your answer and you stop.
After you name a third date, stop initiating
Send your reply with the new plan. Then do not reach out again. If he cancels a third time, do not offer another date. That's the line.
If he doesn't confirm within 24 hours of the date, assume it's off. Do not text 'are we still on?' the day before. Let that silence tell you what you need to know. If he goes quiet or cancels again, you stop. No negotiations, no 'one more chance.' Two reschedules already gave him two chances.
Why these replies fail
“No worries at all! What day works better for you? I'm pretty open most nights so just let me know whenever”
You're absorbing his flakiness and volunteering unlimited availability, which rewards him for canceling
“Ok but this is the last time I'm rescheduling. I need to know you're serious about this”
It's confrontational and puts him on the defensive instead of just moving forward with a real plan
“I get it, life happens. Maybe we're just not meant to meet up right now”
You're letting him off the hook completely and framing this as fate, which removes any accountability
Common mistakes
- Immediately suggesting three new dates when he cancels once, signaling you have endless availability
- Apologizing or offering to be more flexible, which frames his cancellation as your scheduling problem
- Waiting weeks for him to reach out, then jumping at his first message as if nothing happened
- Saying yes to plans while already skeptical, then feeling resentful when he cancels again
- Making excuses for him to your friends or yourself about why he's probably not actually flaking
Questions people ask
- What if he has a really good excuse the second time?
- Good excuses still don't change what you need: a firm reschedule. If it was real, his message should include a specific new time, not an apology alone. The pattern is what matters more than the reason. Watch what he does next, not what he says.
- Should I ask him directly if he's actually interested?
- No. Actions are his answer. If you have to ask whether he wants to see you after two reschedules, you know the answer already. A direct question puts him in a position to reassure you with words, which costs him nothing and changes nothing.
- How long should I wait for him to suggest a new date?
- Don't wait. You suggest one specific time. If he agrees to that time in writing and shows up, great. If not, you're done. Waiting for him to initiate after canceling twice just extends the pattern.
- What if we've been talking for a while and he says he really wants to meet?
- Time invested doesn't change what's happening now. If he really wanted to meet, two reschedules wouldn't happen. Don't let history make you accept less. His actions in the last week matter more than everything before it.

“I was skeptical at first. Then I tried it on a dry chat and the replies actually sounded like me, not a chatbot.”
