What to say when he texts we should try that new place
He said you should try that new place but gave no day. Here's how to read it and reply so the plan actually happens.
He named a place and a vague future. That costs him almost nothing, so the message tells you more about his effort than about his intent. Sometimes it means he likes you and wants to keep things open. Sometimes it means he is bored and saying the pleasant thing. One text will not tell you which.
A good reply does two things. It shows you heard the specific idea, and it turns the vague plan into a small decision he can accept without effort. You do not need to be clever or make it a big moment.
The real test is what happens next. If your reply makes the plan easier to say yes to, the idea has a chance. If it gets a joke and nothing else, the place fades out of the thread and neither of you brings it up again.

Sometime plans are a test of who does the planning
When he names a place but no day, he is usually testing two things. One is whether you are interested enough to be part of the plan. The other is whether he has to do the work of making it happen. Watch what he does after he says it. If he follows up within a day or two with a question about your week, he is probably interested and just lazy about logistics. If the place gets mentioned once and then drops out of the conversation, the idea was a way to keep you warm.
Look at the detail too. A new spot he has clearly looked up, with a dish or a neighborhood he names, means he has thought about it. A generic we should go somewhere sounds like filler.
Give him a choice he can accept in one message
The move here is to turn the idea into a small decision. Offer a day or two windows from your side, and name the place so there is nothing for him to look up. Keep the logistics light. You are not writing a calendar invite, you are making the next step obvious.
Also respond to the part he actually said. If he brought up the place because of the food, a drink, or the neighborhood, show you registered that detail. A short reaction to it tells him the idea landed with you and was not wasted on a flat reply. Skip anything that makes him feel he owes you an explanation for being vague.
If he says yes but never picks a day
Give him one full day to come back with a time before you step in. If that day passes and he has not answered, send a short follow up that narrows the window, like a single evening that week. Do not repeat the original idea with more enthusiasm, because that puts the work back on him in a louder way.
If he replies with another vague line, that answers the question. Stop pushing for the date and let the conversation move on for a week. If he comes back to it on his own, the plan was real. If he does not, you got the information without spending three messages on it.
Why these replies fail
“sure, whenever works for you”
It hands the whole job of planning back to him and signals you have no preference, so the idea has nowhere to go.
“omg yes!! I've been wanting to go there forever, when are you free?? what night??”
It stacks three questions and a burst of excitement onto one message, so he has to answer everything at once and usually answers nothing.
“lol we should. you always say that though”
It turns a casual idea into a complaint, so he gets defensive instead of picking a night.
Common mistakes
- Replying with agreement only, which leaves all the planning on him
- Asking several questions at once so he has nothing easy to answer
- Bringing up the plan again every few hours and making it feel like a chase
- Teasing him about never following through before he has had a chance to do so
Questions people ask
- Is he just being polite when he says we should try that new place?
- Maybe, but one message rarely tells you. A vague plan with no day often means he likes the idea and wants to keep the option open. Check whether he brings it up again on his own within a couple of days. If he does, the interest is probably real even if he is bad at logistics. If the place disappears from the conversation, treat it as a nice thing he said.
- How long should I wait before I bring up the place again?
- Wait for the next natural pause, usually the same day or the next. If he has not answered in about a day and the conversation has moved on, bring it back once with a specific night. Waiting several days makes the idea feel stale, and mentioning it every hour makes you look like you are chasing him.
- Should I suggest a specific day when he only said sometime?
- In most cases, yes. Offering one or two windows removes the work of choosing and makes a yes easy. Keep the options loose enough that he can decline without a big reason, such as a weeknight or a weekend afternoon. If he has a real schedule problem, he will say so, and you can offer another option.
- What if he says yes but never picks a day?
- Give him about a day, then send one short message that narrows it to a single evening that week. If he still does not commit, stop pushing the plan. A second vague reply usually means he likes having the option more than actually making the plan, and your time is better spent with someone who follows through.

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