sickpuppy Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) I found some excellent thoughts on flaking/getting stood up that make perfect common sense I'd thought I'd share and see what others thought or had any other tips they'd like to share. 1) People will give out their phone numbers. Most people will take it as a good sign, though it's a good "sign" it doesn't mean much. 2)People will agree to plans for a date. (Sometimes in a very plain way/ low interest / no counter offer or further talk about it. Or in an excited way/seemingly high interest..which still doesn't mean much as most people are non-confrontational/ and will "agree" for the sake of ending the conversation with no plans of ever going through with them in reality.) 3) People (women) will flake at times to PURPOSELY test a man to see if he is the type that gets upset easily, or just runs along to the next girl "proving" to them that he wasn't really interested in them in the first place. Some women simply want to test that you are really the type to handle rejection or their bad behavior without freaking out. (These types need to be handled as if it's simply no big deal..IE: Don't worry about it. Maybe next time..With a smile and changing the subject....but you should still move on from those that play those games right away. Let them justify whatever they want in their minds afterwards to excuse their bad behavior.) 4) If the person asked has a seemingly good excuse then try again. If you get a second flake you should move on. If you get a lame excuse simply tell them It's okay. I understand and move on. 5) Some people will simply flake with no excuse, call or any type of future contact. These types are completely inconsiderate, self-serving, could care less about etiquette and well...those people show you who they are the first time. Believe them. 6) Spending time on someone who puts on a great act but doesn't really want you or prefers to not go further is simply a waste of your time when you could be out finding others who DO want to spend time with and value you as a person. Anyone else with any other tips or thoughts? Edited September 13, 2013 by sickpuppy
