Speaking of flakes... here's a real life example that's happening right now.
A couple of weeks back, met up with a HB10. She was very attracted to me, giving me lots of IOI: compliments, asking personal questions, kissing me first, hitting another place with me after hours, taking my hand into hers, asking me I had plans for the next day.
Along with that, I saw some flags: she moved into the city about a year ago, having gotten divorced, and has a child BUT the child isn't with her. Since custody usually goes to the mother, unless there's good reason, you have to wonder why she didn't obtain custody. She's also a flight attendant, and you'd think she'd meet enough guys in first class every day and have her pick of pilots, so what is she doing hitting on me? Then, at some late point, she's like, "Are you a nice guy? Are you?" as if she's had her share of getting hurt, so that was kind of creepy. But hey, she's hot and I figured I could just have a little fun...
So I call her a few days later and get her VM and leave a nondescript little message that I called. She doesn't call back. I figured I'd try one more time and about a week later, I called again, got her VM, left another brief message, a la little jest. That was last Sunday. No return call, not that I expect a return call. But, given how interested she appeared, and being secure in knowing how I came across, and seeing those flags and now how she's flaked, the only thing I could figure is that she's a loon.
This morning (Thursday), I get a text:
"Sorry I've been such a flake! Crazy busy w school and work. Hope you are well and that I can see u again soon take care"
So what I get out of this is:
She didn't call me. She avoided speaking to me by texting me.
She knows she's been flaking.
I don't buy her 'crazy with school and work' excuses.
That 'hope to see u again'... that's probably bullsh!t, she sees I'm aloof and the last message inferred that we'd probably not hook up again, so she's attempting to pull me in?
Well... I admit, my d1ck really wants to get to know her better. So, I'm thinking one more shot? Call her on Sunday or so with a ****y "so, when are you gonna ask me out?" and if nothing comes of it, then that's that.
