First off, this post is a formatted differently than usual in that it's part field report, tiny rant and part example of what I, after lurking and reading for some time now, feel is a typical RP response to flakes. So, onward.

I had met a girl on my campus and we got along fairly well, she went out of her way to assist me and struck up conversation. So, logically I go for the date. I invite her to a concert I was going to but she had to cancel for a real reason and missed a lot of classes for it. Won't count it as a flake.

Second time, we met up and agree to ditch a school event to hang out, I end up waiting 10 minutes at the location and then go of and do my own thing. Flake #1

She never mentioned it and neither did I as we see each other much between that and the events from two days ago. But, I see that me not addressing it was a big beta mistake. I more or less "forgave" her since I never brought it up. If I was reading this from another perspective I would say that the girl was nextable from the situation alone.

I wanted to give it one more shot so I took advantage of something I was doing, salsa dancing (a great first date idea, the opportunities are endless), and told her she was coming with. (I'll include how I did it because I feel it was golden-we had lockers on our campus and she picked my locker next to hers so I caught her there and held my hands up, palms facing her with a little grin. She caught on quick and I grabbed her hands, made eye-contact, and said exactly how it's drilled in RP, with a slow speed of voice that "we're going dancing Wednesday." She agreed and we ironed out the little details.)

So, Wednesday rolls around, yesterday, and I text her about half an hour before we're supposed to meet up telling her to tell me where to pick her up (should have got the address day of asking but next time, right?) and she doesn't answer. Texted her again saying I'm leaving for [LOCATION] in 20 minutes. Flake #2, your out. I take off and have a great time.

So. In my mind I know I should next her, and I've more of less written her off for being rude and a horrible flake and not really my type but, I want to use the situation to my advantage. She's no doubt one of the better looking filles in the school and has a (close) friend of hers I rather like. Now how do I go about doing this? I gave it a thought and if she brings it up (at all) I have half the mind to just roll my eyes and walk away. This works well for the abundance mentality and if she ever tells anyone I come out looking like I don't care for her shit.

However, I know there's an other way, some half-formed, brilliant idea is in my head from all the RP field reports and essays that can either get a pump-and-dump off on her or amplify myself in some way. So, ideas are very welcome and thanks for everything so far RP.

One other thing, I had thought of posting this on the main RP subreddit but after a mod post on cutting down the beta-cringey-no-value-rehashing-link-posts, which I agree with mostly, I thought better to add a question so as this post has some place in the RP view.
