"we can talk at X, at X-pm"
If she flakes again, hard next.
aren't we still going to talk
She wants your validation. Not anything else. That's what that tells me.

Trying this. Thanks.

Just hard next dude. You can try to salvage it, but truth be told, if she flakes and doesn't counter back with another night and time she's not into you.
Now she's enticing you to orbit. Either approach, no, or ignore would work for that.

Tell her you'll talk the next time you're together. And say nothing else.
You don't need to explain to her that you're not going to be her emotional tampon. You already know that she's trying to pigeon-hole you into that category.
It's possible to get your old status back, but most of the time it doesn't happen. Hope for the best but prepare for the next.

"Who is this?"

Question: Doesn't that imply butthurt?
Because it means you deleted her number as a response to her flaking.
Not sure where that falls in terms of keeping frame.

It very much implies butthurt.
[–]kenpachitz0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
So, just ignore?
[–]Arcturus_1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah
[–]mgfowler0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I don't see how it implies butt hurt, it shows that you moved on from her.
[–]Certifiedfamilylaw0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
It means you never even saved her number
[–]kenpachitz1 point2 points3 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Smartphones have text threads.
There's no believable way that you don't know it's her unless you deleted something, be it her number or her texts.
I just don't know if the act of deleting = butthurt or "he's moved on".
[–]Certifiedfamilylaw0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
If you're butthurt it probably comes across as butthurt. If you deleted it because you dont give a fuck, well you might text "who is this?"

I love it. Cancels your date, doesn't offer a different time, but still expects your attention.
It depends for me. Sometimes I just delete the number. Sometimes I'm bored and ask them why would I continue talking to them? Sometimes I like for women to know you can't act like that and still expect to receive a man's attention. But thirsty men don't help that case...

Silence works just as well, IMO.
[–]smirk_addict0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
True that. But I hate that BS where some time passes and maybe you see the woman out somewhere and she comes up to you with that fake crap about how it's good to see you and pretend you guys are friends. She feels like she won something by pulling you into her game of fake niceness and if you refuse to play she'll make a big deal about you being sensitive or feigning ignorance of her disrespect of you. So if I'm cutting ties, sometimes I'll call them out on their shit. So that way if they see me again, they'll already know they can't play that game with me. If they want to open up communication with me they'll have to acknowledge their shitty behavior(I live in a relatively small town).

"Hey is this _____?"
Insert female name other than this girl's name
[–]Sandkasten0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Message her something that shows you are not butthurt. Imply your time is more valueable and that another flake could ruin her chances.
Soemthing like: "Hey. Of course we are gonna talk, we need to arrange another date. But I'm a little busy the next few days."
Message her less and suggest another time in a few days.

Flake without reschedule - not that interested. Rather than texting to hang out she says "aren't we still gong to talk" - she wants your attention not the D

I had a woman flake on me twice. Ignored her texts and moved on, never talked to her again.
On another occasion, a girl would not accept to go out with me, but she wanted to keep texting. Ignored her texts and moved on, she just wanted the attention, and as far as i know she was seeing some other dude, so nothing of value was lost.
I had a long time "female friend" who flaked on me twice. I still talk to her occasionally, but i don't invite her to hang out anymore, and i feel she doesn't propose to go out because deep down she knows i won't accept.
Generally i think the best course of action is to cut your loses, by this i mean, cut ties with people, not just women, but men as well, who constantly flake on you, who can't keep their word, who constantly lie and come up with excuses without offering something to compensate their flakiness.
If this is the first time, i would give her another chance, but i would warn her, that if she does that one more time, she won't see you again.
True. If you apply this to everyone, not just women, it makes your life easier. People will also respect your time more. I even do this when people ask for me help and don't appreciate it.
