Clarify whether a suggestion is a plan

Ask whether an idea is exploratory or something the other person expects you to act on.

Try this

  1. Identify the action that would follow if the suggestion were confirmed, such as a booking or calendar entry.
  2. Ask whether it is still an idea or an agreement. Wait for clarity before spending money or reserving someone else’s time.

A worked example

“Is Saturday a possibility, or should I put it in the calendar?”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

Keep tentative ideas visibly tentative until both people confirm them.

This is a voluntary planning exercise. Keep your notes private, adapt the language, and leave any question unanswered. It does not require Ourling or a purchase.
