Two people, Maya and Jordan, have been flirting for ten days and 18 messages—no plans. By the time they try to book, momentum and curiosity have cooled. This 10‑minute episode opens on that vignette and teaches Sarah's Calendar‑First ritual: pick a short planning window, offer two concrete options, include a soft opt‑out, then send a privacy‑safe invite when consent is clear. Listeners get three ready scripts for text, voice-note, and in‑app messaging, plus three exact fallback replies: a gentle decline, a respectful response to ghosting, and a calm answer to 'that feels formal.' The show adds cultural/platform norms (when invites can land poorly and a tailored fallback per case), a micro‑experiment to try across three threads, and an exact host CTA script listeners can use verbatim. The result: simple language to reduce friction, protect emotional energy, and create clearer next steps tonight.
