It sounds like everyone other than you thought you reacted appropriately.
Haha...it was all good after the first few seconds/minute. Date agreed with me later that I was too annoyed at first, we did a postmortem on it. Not like aggro towards the dude, but too bothered by it.

I mentioned pool in the texts, so we're going to a sports bar type place with pool tables.
Definitely gonna use the "<bar> asked me to confirm my reservation, still in?"-line
Congrats!

Reservation at a bar? And if they really do take reservations do you think anyone is going to believe that the bar actually contacted you to confirm it?
If you havent chatted with her for the previous couple days before the date I dont see a problem with sending a text like "Still on for tonight?"
Or if you think that sounds needy maybe "Hey, still on for pool later? I'm going to call ahead to try to reserve us a table" or something similar.
For a cocktail bar that gets crowded/takes reservations that's legit (auto-confirm-text), I wouldn't have said it if it were a lie.
I'm standing by my "**Flake check!!**" for now, but it needs to be congruent with the rest of your interactions, which in my case would sometimes include embracing the awkwardness.
TJ Eckleburg, I'd keep it simple though as it's your first T date. Go with the reservation thing only if it's true, otherwise "still on for 8:30 at Peabody's?"
