Question regarding networking call

Reached out to an analyst and he replied saying he's available this Wednesday and Thursday if that works with me. 

Normally, people list times they are available at or ask me to give some times that work for me but here, the analyst didn't give any times. I have two options:

1) mentioned the times I am free on Wednesday and Thursday and ask him to let me know what time works best for him.

2) email him and let him know that a particular time on Thursday (say 12 pm) works best for me and that I will send a calendar invite across. 

Which option, if any, should I go with? Any other suggestions?

Stop bumping kid - if you cant even figure this out, doesn't really matter what you do

 

Give him some whittled down options and let him know you’ll try to be flexible for other times as well. Much easier than going back and forth multiple times

Ya no man, neither of these completely illogical and irrational options will work. Your best bet is to assume he meant 11pm and show up to his office unannounced with some arbys. You are also very likely to be dinged around the street already since he did not give a time, so you might as well start applying to fast food restaurants.
