You would also reschedule, I'm sure.Echoes said:

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Stood Up on 2nd Date

It did not happen here, proving my point even further.
"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 agree with Nismo.
Interested women do not flake... if there is a genuine reason she could not make the date she would have let you know and rescheduled.. which she did not and that is the end of the matter in my eyes.

Went with the above approach. I figure it puts it on her to absolutely commit one way or the other. Basically my way of saying, "I'm walking away, so either don't respond, or fight to earn my time and respect." There's a nice closure in it.Don-Kong said:
I appreciate everyone's input, and I understand the ramifications of sending that text. But if she was a flake, it won't matter anyways.
Will follow up with results

although that doesn't say 'I'm walking away'. That says, 'I'm still here. Thinking about you'.monterreymoosey5678 said:

**** good point.
Late edit: No response. Probably a lost cause, as many posters stated.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Ball was definitely in her court, OP. She didn't deserve a response.
You need to spin more plates and cultivate an abundance mentality so that when you're next confronted by flakey bishes, you'll just be able to shrug it off.
I would only respond to her if she tells you she lapsed into a coma for four days. But even then, my sceptical brain would probably still ignore her.
Move onward and upward! And hopefully inward. But with women who greatly appreciate your time and effort.
