Contexto cultural
In Germany, 'sich verabreden' often happens weeks in advance. Spontaneous visits are rare in many regions. In Vienna, a 'Verabredung' might take place in a {der|m} Kaffehaus, which is the traditional social hub. Swiss German speakers might use 'abmache' instead of 'verabreden' in casual speech.
The 'Busy' Shortcut
If someone asks you to do something and you can't, just say 'Ich bin schon verabredet.' It's the perfect polite excuse.
Reflexive Trap
Never say 'Ich verabrede Max.' It sounds like you are 'arranging Max' like furniture. Always use 'mich mit Max'.
