The Wall Street Journal has a new article about this topic.
This is not an article about ghosting and flaking in romantic interactions, though it would be applicable.
It tends to cover platonic friends ghosting and flaking each other, people ghosting and flaking on dinner plans with non-romantic contacts, and people ghosting and flaking on attending weddings and going on vacations.
If ghosting and flaking is common even amongst established friends, why should a man bother to make big plans with a stranger? It justifies the immediate home invitation date. That way, if a woman flakes on the plan, you were already just chilling out at home.
Canceling Plans at the Last Minute Is New Normal
The pandemic has made us more accustomed to plans falling through at the last minute. We are more comfortable moving ahead with plans when others back out.
