What to text when she keeps saying she'll let you know
She says she'll decide later but ghosted on the follow-up. Learn how to push back without sounding needy.
When someone says 'I'll let you know' about plans and then never circles back, you're stuck waiting. She's either undecided and forgot about you, or she's keeping you as a backup option while she sees what else comes up. Either way, you're wasting time waiting for permission to move forward.
A good reply does two things at once. It gives her a real deadline so she has to actually decide. It also removes you from the backup slot by implying you have other options. You're not angry or desperate. You're just moving on with your night until she tells you yes or no.

Try for freeThe 'I'll let you know' message is a soft no
When someone says they'll let you know about plans, they're not saying yes. They're saying not right now. The difference matters. A real yes comes with a time, a place, or at least a tone that suggests she's thinking about how to make it work. 'I'll let you know' buys her time to see if something better comes up or if her mood changes.
Pay attention to the gap between her message and when she follows up. If a day passes and you haven't heard anything, she's already made her decision. Silence is the answer. She's either forgotten about you or decided you're not worth the mental energy to confirm. Neither one is a sign to wait longer.
Force a binary choice with a real deadline
Your reply needs to do one job. Make her pick yes or no right now, not later. Don't ask when she'll know. Don't say 'whenever works for you.' Give her a specific time frame, usually the day of or the day before. 'Cool. I need to know by tomorrow morning if you're in, otherwise I'm making other plans.'
This works because it removes the vagueness she was hiding behind. She can't say 'I'll let you know' a second time without looking like she's stalling. She either commits or admits she's not coming. Most people will say no rather than face that awkwardness. That's the point. You get a real answer instead of limbo.
Send it once and then stop checking your phone
After you set the deadline, do not text again. Do not check if she's seen it. Do not send a follow-up emoji or joke to soften the tone. Send the message in the afternoon or evening so she sees it while she's alert, then move on with your night.
If she doesn't respond by your deadline, assume it's a no and make other plans. Then tell her. 'Hey, got other plans sorted now, but let me know next time.' This signals that you weren't sitting around waiting and that flaking has consequences. Most people respect someone who won't wait indefinitely. If she actually wants to see you, a hard deadline will make her realize that, and she'll respond fast.
Why these replies fail
“No problem! Just let me know whenever you figure it out”
You're removing your own deadline and making it easy for her to ghost indefinitely.
“Haha are you trying to ditch me already? :)”
You're joking to soften the reality that she's not committing, which makes you look needy.
“I'm still excited about Thursday if you are!”
You're doubling down on a plan that doesn't exist yet, which pressures her and makes you seem desperate.
Common mistakes
- Waiting more than a day to follow up, which makes you look like chasing is normal to you
- Asking open-ended questions like 'When do you think you'll know?' that let her delay again
- Apologizing or making it easy for her by saying 'No pressure'
- Double texting hours later because you're anxious about the silence
- Acting like the plan is still on while she's clearly checked out
Questions people ask
- How long should I wait before following up if she says she'll let me know?
- Not long. If plans are for Friday and she says she'll let you know on Wednesday, follow up by Thursday evening. Anything longer and you're just hoping she remembers you exist. The sooner you push back, the more it looks normal.
- What if she says 'I'm sorry, I've just been busy' when I call out the flaking?
- Busy people still text 'yes' or 'no'. Being busy is not the same as being uncertain. Don't accept this as a real reason. Either she makes time for people she wants to see, or she doesn't. You've got your answer either way.
- Should I give her another chance if she flakes twice?
- No. Pattern is real. Someone who flakes once might be overwhelmed. Someone who flakes twice is not interested enough to prioritize you. Stop initiating and see if she reaches out first. She won't.
- Is it rude to say 'otherwise I'm making other plans'?
- It's honest, not rude. She's already being unclear with you. You're just being clear about your boundaries. The word 'otherwise' is polite enough. It signals you have options and won't wait around for someone who won't commit.
