Should I say anything to these women or not? I was thinking of saying, is everything OK? I thought that you were going to get back to me, did you forget to text me back? And this also, can you please give me a yes or no answer in a day or so next time. If you say no, that's fine. That way I can invite another friend out instead of having to wait for a long time for a reply.

How does that sound? Good or could it use improvement? Also, when people don't respond to invites, is that an indirect no? I heard that some people don't like saying no directly.
I think that's a very reasonable thing to say. If I were your friend I would appreciate your being direct.

I guess we do all have different expectations of friendships but how these women are behaving wouldn't really sit right with me.

It all depends on how you feel about them though. Are they people you spend enjoyable time with (maybe akin to acquaintances) or do you have a deeper bond? For acquaintances I would just shrug it off/walk away, for closer bonds I'd try to work it out.
