In context

When I make plans, the time is the tricky part. I usually say, 'Let's meet at seven.' If that's too early, my friend will say, 'Does eight work?' We go back and forth until we find a time that works for both of us. Then I say, 'See you then!' Picking a time is easy if you're flexible. What time works best for you?
