I've just begun practicing my game and I'm wondering how my response to this particular flake was and if I could have done anything better in general.
The backstory is that I went to a get my hair cut from a new hairdresser as my regular one was booked full. I thought the new one looked cute, HB6 or HB7, and we seemed to have some good banter going. Therefore when I went to pay for the cut I handed her my phone and said "Come on!" curtly with a hint of playfulness when she hesitated (Not the best I know but I kinda stumbled over my tongue, and hey it worked).
Three days later I texted her with this:
Me: "Hi! I'm convinced you are a wolf in sheeps clothing. Luckily I like to live dangerously. How does your week look? -unmitigatedbadassery" (During the cut we had somehow gotten into how innocent she is or something like it and I suggested she might be a wolf in sheeps clothing. My comment on it was to jog her memory of who I am.)
Her: "Hi! You are, are you that's good haha;p I actually have a long weekend from Thursday[][]"
Me: "Perfect! Meet me Friday at 19 at [place]."
Her: "Deal[]" (I have no idea which icon those brackets are supposed to be)
Fast forward to the day of the meet, I get this text from her around 10, I respond after finishing my workout a couple of hours later:
Her: "Hi! Unfortunately I can't meet you tonight...:/" (Note the lack of a reason or rescheduling attempt, looks like this is a textbook flake)
Me: "That's fine, then I'll be able to meet an old friend :) I might be able to squeeze you in this weekend" (Unsure about this reply. I should maybe not have responded at all, however I though I should hint to that it isn't a big deal and that I had other things to do.)
Her: "Good:) Friday was the only day I really had the time this week:( So we'll have to make it up another time"
My plan is to ignore the last message and then text her over the weekend to see if she'll "have time" the coming week. Any constructive criticism is much appreciated.
