She canceled the date — what should I text?

Verdict first

Reply calmly, don't ask for reasons, and see who reschedules. A woman who wants to see you suggests a new time. One who doesn't, won't.

Your reply

Short and relaxed. No sulking, no "it's fine I guess", no twenty questions:

No problem, hope everything's okay. Let me know what works better
All good. Rain check — your call on when

Who reschedules

If she cancels and offers another day in the same message, it's a real conflict. If she just cancels, let her bring up the new time. You planned the first try — the second is hers.

Twice is a pattern

If she cancels again, don't set up a third. You can be kind and still stop investing:

Seems like the timing isn't working out. If that changes, you know where to find me
Verdict

Cancel once — life happens. Cancel twice — she's telling you something.
