Ok guys, this has been discussed in several articles and is a well known topic, but I'd like to see your opinions on this "extreme" form of flaking.

A girl adds me on facebook. I propose to meet. she flakes. We reschedule. she flakes. that was 3 months ago.

After that we meet a few times in university, I never propose anything related to dates, we exchange a few text ones in a while. So a few days ago we met on the street and she proposed to meet. I wasn't interested to meet her after her flakes so I said something vague like "yeah we'll see".

A few days later, we met at uni and spoke for a few minutes, and I thought to myself "why not fuck her?.." So I proposed to meet for that drink she mentioned the last time. (I knew that most likely it wasn't gotta happen, so I planned loads of B-plans for the day. Good job there). We set up the place and time and walked our ways.

I told her I'd text her the date before to confirm and so I did. She confirmed the date. Ont the next day, the day of the date, I sent her a text 1h before the time to say "i was starting to get ready, see you at X", well guess what.. LOL she says that she forgot about the date. And asks if we can reschedule. I said "no, this is your last chance" she said she was ill. i said ok, get better and cut off the conversation.

So.. I mean is she crazy? I get when girls flake cause they didn't want to refuse the date in person when they met you. I understand when they do it ONES for legitimate reasons. I understand they may not be interested. but omfg, she reaches out to me, flakes twice, i archive her, she re-engages and proposes to meet again. to flake again? I mean aside of being super rude and disrespectful for my time is she nuts or something? This sort of chronic flaking only happened to me twice.

Are there girls that feed on this or what?

Cheers!

My rule of thumb is that unless she makes an immediate, specific counter offer, then it's not sincere. Usually there needs to be profuse apologizing and some kind of offer to make it up. No vague "let's reschedule", but something like "Oh shoot I'm so sorry! I'm free Tuesday at 6, can we do it then? I'll buy your drink!"

But I wouldn't ever go with rub it in her face bitterness. That's just another form of failing a shit test and it's not productive. Just chalk it up as "fool me twice, shame on me".

What I would do is not make any more offers or contact. If she tries to text you with inane stuff, limit your reponses to "I'm fine how are you?", "Oh yeah?", "Sounds awesome!" and don't converse beyond that. If she ever proposes doing something again, just TELL her where you're going to be and she can stop by if she wants. Don't make plans specifically for her anymore. You're a busy guy with a full schedule with a high value that doesn't have any more time for her flaking. If she wants to do something it will have to be in the context of chasing you.

"Hey! Why don't we try getting drinks at X again?"
"I've got a paper/test/project due next week and I'm hanging with a friend Friday. I'll be out at Y tomorrow though. Stop by if you want."
