On a couple of occasions I've had girls try to send a flake text last minute (just of the type "oh hey turns out I probably can't make it right now" or "hey, didn't you get my text this morning? Can't make it" with no alternate idea given), and then when I don't respond immediately proceed to try to call me.
I haven't been sure how to play this. So far, the couple times it's happened I just let their call go to voicemail and then run my usual "flake script" (return text them some indifferent reply many hours after...since both times it was about 20 minutes before I was supposed to arrive and was frankly feeling miffed.)
My thought was that they might just be a more sensitive or inexperienced type, and are looking for immediate validation that what they did was "okay" if I'm cool with it over the phone, or to say to themselves "ah he was an asshole anyway" if I'm not.
But maybe there's an opportunity here that I'm missing.
