Sounds genuine enough for me. If she still wants to go then reschedule. If it happens again, then cut her loose.
[–]stuckit 46 points47 points48 points 8 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Since she suggested a follow-up, id give her the benefit of the doubt.
If she flakes again, you cut her loose.
[–]ScottDurden 12 points13 points14 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This.
The only time you don't next a girl for flaking is if she tries to reschedule.
[–]PmNudes-orMotivation 3 points4 points5 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
To be fair though my ex was busy a lot. Flaked once and was unavailable the next 4 times I hit her up because of work or other things over the course if a month. I was close to giving up but she never actually said she's not interested in getting together. 5th time she was available, didnt flake and we ended up dating for a year.
Giving up quickly seems counter productive unless it's obvious she's trying to avoid you

WOW DUDE.
That's crazy... I probably would've given up after 2 failed attempts. How did you know that she was still interested in going with you after 4 flakes though?
Many others in your case would've taken it as "yep this girl is definitely not into me" or something along those lines...
[–]jeff1328 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This as well. She was very specific too. Just play it casual and let her come to you.
[–]mpower20 6 points7 points8 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Text her a short affirmative message, "sure." Do the minimal follow up necessary to arrange the next date. Keep comms to a minimum until then. Schedule a first date with someone else to begin an hour after your MoMA date starts. If she flakes next time, Girl #2 is your actual date. If she shows up, tell Girl #2 sorry and you'll reschedule.
Side benefit. If your gut tells you this is going the wrong way in the first 30 minutes, make your excuses, cut her loose, and jump on girl #2.
This is actually great advice. Now, the only thing is it would be hilarious if both dates flaked on the same day.
But I'll definitely be using this advice in the future.
[–]DavidGolani11 9 points10 points11 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
She "forgot". If a girl really likes you she won't forget you! You might as well go on the date though, she offered.
[–]OMe1Cannoli 8 years ago [recovered] (1 child) | Copy Link
Well forgot about her plans, not me necessarily (or at least that's what I suppose in this instance haha).
[–]MistaFrees6 points 8 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
That's a good point at least she told you what happened and remembered the date with you. Don't stress, shit happens - just reschedule.
[–]IntrovertSigma7 points 8 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Take the rescheduled date but in the mean time line up more prospects.
[–]Kaasboyzz 2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Try to send a reminder a few days before as well next time
[–]digitalbitch2 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
She is not that in to you if she has forgotten (she won't forget a date with Brad Pitt). But since she suggests the next date, go on it knowing you have nothing really to lose.
[–]OMe1Cannoli 8 years ago [recovered] (2 children) | Copy Link
She didn't forget the date, she says that she had forgotten she had promised her cousin that they'd go to the beach that same Saturday.
[–]digitalbitch2 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Why are you worried then?
Well, first time I've ever been flaked so it's a new thing for me. At first I just assumed she might've not have wanted to go on a date at all and was just making an excuse
[–]IFirstFearI 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
text her "sure", and hit her up later to make plans
[–]1z1z2x2x3c3c4v4v 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Go. You have nothing to lose, but don't wait around for her... talk to other girls.
[–]Hector_Castillo 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Go for it, but respond with something like, "Sure, sounds good to me."
Don't try to reschedule yet. Give it the weekend then text her Monday about heading to the museum.
Also, museums are a great idea for dates. You can talk about things you see without having the constant stimulation of, say, a movie, and you can even lead her around and get physical (e.g., hold her hand or tap her because you want to show her something).
woopsss I might've already tried to reschedule. I'm new to this. Never have been flaked before so it's new to me.
[–]beernsleep 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I don't buy it. In general, they will say "I'd love to go to the MOMA with you tho. What about Monday?" if they are really interested. If she is just saying "next time?" she's forcing you to reach out to her to set it up again. She's making you chase. I think the advice on a short answer is good - "Sure" or "no problem" then DO NOT TEXT HER. Make her text you. If she actually wants to see you she will text you to initiate something or at least initiate conversation. String theory, dude. Don't continue to put yourself out there until she puts herself out there. I'm not saying you don't take her up on it if she means it, but make her chase you a bit. And yes, in the meantime, continue seeking other prospects.
Got it!
[–]ScottDurden 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Generally if a girl flakes you next her. If she really wants you she'll reschedule.
[–]Aristox 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Definitely sounds like she's into you and wants to go on a date to MOMA. What happened? Did you go on the date?
[–]OMe1Cannoli 8 years ago [recovered] (4 children) | Copy Link
She’s a nursing student and supposedly had to help arrange an awards dinner at the hospital for the nurses. But she told me the morning of, so at that point I stopped trying.... I might message her eventually to catch up but not expecting anything out of it. Girls are confusing man haha
[–]Aristox 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
She's just busy yo. Don't lean too heavily into one size fits all. She seemed eager, she's just a busy person. Hit her up today and ask her out again, tease her about how shit she's been at making your previous arrangements
Oh wait... I forgot that was the on the second attempt to ask her out, with the whole awards dinner thing. The first flake she supposedly went to the beach. So it was after the second flake that I stopped trying.
I wouldn't think that the whole "she's' just busy" thing would still apply or would it? The second time she also didn't make an attempt to reschedule, so I didn't bother.
[–]Aristox 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Yeah you might be right then. But if you've got nothing else on it cant hurt to message her again
[–]OMe1Cannoli2 points 8 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Yep. I’ll probably message her to just catch up with her but like previously mentioned.... not expecting much out of it haha
[–]satyrPAN 0 points1 point2 points 8 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
I hope you are not the jealous type if you are from Alabama
[–]OMe1Cannoli 8 years ago [recovered] (3 children) | Copy Link
Wait what? Lol
[–]Hector_Castillo 2 points3 points4 points 8 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
He's joking that her cousin is a guy and she's gonna fuck him.
[–]satyrPAN 1 point2 points3 points 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
In retrospective, I should had made a joke about the Targaryens
ohhh. I'm pretty sure she mentioned that it was a female cousin if I recall the pronoun she used for her cousin correctly
[–]markpf73 -1 points0 points1 point 8 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
One letter response "k". Sounds like you need another plate to spin in her place... get yourself some options and you won't be so indecisive and whiny
