Had a sex date for 10pm tonight with my FWB. She texts me 30 min before our meet up telling me that she is out with the girlies and asked me how late I was going to be up. I texted her back telling her I was on my way home from Happy hour and lets just reschedule our meetup for sometime next week. Bish wasted my time, I could have set up another date with another plate. I feel like nexting her just for thinking that I was going to sit and wait for her at home. How to proceed?
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
FWB just wasted my night. What is the appropriate response?

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

FWBs aren't for Friday night. Or Saturday night.
You should be out finding better prospects if she is only a fwb. On a weekend evenings you should be setting up new dates or hanging out with buddies.
If you do hook up on the weekends it should be late and after you've both had your fun while out. So I have to say that she had the right idea about meeting up "late". Stay calm and don't burn the bridge.

Yeah, she's just a FWB to you so she's not going to make you a priority and drop having fun with her girls to go over and sleep with you. She was probably herself looking for better prospects last night.
I would expect flakiness in FWB situations because as fun as that may be, most girls are looking for something more so there's little incentive for them to stick to being someone's f**k buddy when they can meet a guy who is offering more ( girls can get sex anytime remember).
So if she's the only girl you have going right now, meet more girls and don't make spending time with her a priority. Even if you just want more plates and nothing serious, it's better to have a few of those going so you can go with the flow and not expect more from any one individual girl who will likely continue to be looking for a better deal anyway.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
I made a mistake. In the beginning, I was inviting her over for just sex. She kept asking me if I was going to have food the last few times we hung out. I decided to take her out the last two times for appetizers and drinks followed by sex. I was trying to be a nice guy, by at least taking her out for some food, instead of just inviting her over for straight banging. Silly me and my AFC ways. Going forward, no food, spending no money on her, just asking her to come over for straight bang. Thanks guys.

What happens if you want to make an omelette and you require 3 eggs but you end up dropping one on the floor. Do you just throw your hands up in the air and say I guess I won't be having breakfast or do just get another egg from the fridge to replace the one you dropped on the floor?
If it's just a FWB, this implies it's not a significant other so go meet other girls that would be willing to date or whatever. You are single - you can do that kind of thing.
