I recently had a guy that have flat out flaked out on me.Now, let me clarify here, because it would seem people have differing opinions on what they would consider to be a "flake."
A flake to me, is someone that makes plans with you. You set the date, time, etc....
Then, on the day of, the person VANISHES into thin air. When you attempt to call them, they do not pick up their phone, nor do they respond to texts, etc.
"no call, no show"
They may, or may not return days later, with an excuse about how they couldn't get back to you or worse they may talk to you like nothing had happened.
To break it down, This guy and I made plans to meet up when he gets off work the following day at 3pm ,he said he would call me set up where to meet .I texted me earlier that day and said "Hey" but he didn't respond. I thought he could be just busy at work so I didn't think anything out of it. Then 2:45 rolls around and still no word from him. I texted him again asking if we're still on to no avail . Then he texted me back hours later after the missed date ,at 9pm -he just said sorry something came up
Then he texted me 2days later again apologizing , asking how he can make it up to me. I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt .He suggested plans to get together again,set the day but No time/location had been set, then he conveniently stopped responding to me before the date was set in stone.
I called him that morning on the day we were suppose to meet but he never answered. Hours passed ...still haven't heard from him, so I shoot him a text asking if we're still on,he responded few hours later and just said "lol"
That said, few days goes by goes by and he randomly texts me and said "hey" like nothing had happened.I ignored it ,f that, he's just wasting my time. In hindsight I wish I didn't give him a second chance after the first bail out.I can understand if the person calls beforehand to reschedule and not just leave me hanging-that's disrespectful
Should we ever give a flake a second chance? This behaviour doesn't change In my experience
