Don't always be available

Your time has a price; logistics are not a 24-hour desk

Don't always be available is folk scarcity. In practice: your time is a resource. You have work, friends, a gym, other plans. That is logistics plus outcome independence, not a game of making her wait for its own sake.

Method

1. Do not clear Saturday because she might text.
2. Offer real windows: 'Thursday after 7.' If that misses, another window — not infinite.
3. In set, a false time constraint is a claimed elsewhere. A real one is you actually leaving.

Failure mode

Ghosting as a strategy. Or the reverse: always on, always yes. Both miss the point.
