Get her to actually commit when she keeps saying she wants to meet
She says she wants to meet but never picks a time. Here's how to reply so she either locks in a date or admits she's not interested.
When someone says they want to meet but dodges specific times, two things could be happening. Either she's interested but disorganized or scared of committing, or she's not that interested and using 'I want to meet' as a way to keep you around without effort.
Your reply has to force clarity. Not in a mean way. In a way that makes her either step up and name a time, or reveal that she wasn't going to. Right now she gets both: the comfort of seeming interested and the freedom of never actually showing up.
A good reply removes that middle ground. It's direct enough that flaking becomes obvious, specific enough that she can't hide behind vagueness.

The difference between 'I want to' and 'I will'
People say 'I want to meet' to mean different things. Sometimes it means 'I'm interested and will make it happen.' Sometimes it means 'I like the idea of this and don't want to disappoint you, but I'm not going to actually do the work.' You can't tell which one it is until you ask for specifics.
When she keeps saying she wants to meet but never names a day or time, she's usually in the second camp. She's not being cruel. She just doesn't want the awkwardness of saying no. Your reply needs to make it easier for her to be honest. Specificity does that. If you say 'Tuesday at 7pm at the coffee place on Main,' she either says yes or she says no. There's nowhere to hide in a maybe.
Lock down one time, not multiple options
Don't ask her which day works best or give her three slots to choose from. That gives her the space to disappear. Name a specific day and time. Make it reasonable, nothing too early or months away. Then ask her to confirm, not to think about it or check her calendar later.
The move is: 'Let's do [specific day and time at specific place]. Does that work?' This puts the burden on her to say yes or no, not on you to keep generating options. If she says no but wants to reschedule, she'll counter with her own time. If she just disappears, you have your answer.
Wait 48 hours, then move on if she doesn't lock in
Send your time-and-place reply. Give her two days to respond. If she confirms, great. If she says no but offers a real alternative time, you can work with that once. If she says maybe, goes quiet, or says she'll let you know, don't send another message.
At this point you've made it simple and she's chosen not to. Sending another message asking if she's free or suggesting other dates just trains her to keep stringing you along. Move your attention elsewhere. If she reaches out later with a real time, you can reconsider then.
Why these replies fail
“Awesome! Yeah we should definitely hang out soon. Just let me know when you're free and we'll make it work!”
This matches her vagueness instead of replacing it, giving her no reason to ever actually commit to a time.
“Are you free Monday? Or maybe Tuesday? Wednesday could work too if those don't. What's best for you?”
Multiple options let her disappear without saying no, and asking her opinion keeps the ball in her court instead of moving it forward.
“I'd love to meet up but I need an actual date and time or this won't happen. So what works for you?”
The tone is frustrated and conditional, which makes it about your feelings rather than simply stating the next step clearly.
Common mistakes
- Matching her vagueness by suggesting 'sometime soon' or 'let me know when works'
- Over-explaining or getting defensive about why you need a specific time
- Asking her opinion on multiple dates instead of naming one and asking her to confirm
- Waiting weeks to follow up, which signals you don't actually care
- Continuing to make plans after she's flaked twice on locked-in times
Questions people ask
- What if she says 'I want to but I'm really busy right now'?
- That's a soft no. Busy people who like you find time. Don't negotiate or ask when she'll be free. Say something like 'Got it, no worries. Hit me up when things settle down.' Then wait for her to follow up. If she doesn't, she's not that interested.
- Should I give her multiple chances to lock in a date?
- Once, maybe twice if she offered a real alternative. After that, you're just hoping. Move on. If she comes back with an actual time later, you can always say yes then. But don't keep asking.
- What if I'm worried she'll think I'm being pushy?
- Asking someone to confirm a specific time is not pushy. It's clear. People who like you don't mind clarity. She might feel awkward because she's been avoiding commitment, but that's on her, not you. Clarity is kind.
- Is there ever a good reason to stay interested after she flakes on a locked date?
- Only if she immediately reschedules for a specific time without you asking. One flake is life. Two flakes on confirmed plans means she's not prioritizing you. After that, don't make new plans with her unless she's been consistently showing up for a while.
