Recently I met this lady online who seemed nice a few months ago. We met in person twice so far. She is a little older than me. We hit it off both times. We met on nextdoor. I made a post that I was looking for friends in the area. She responded to it along with a bunch of other women.

She thought that I sounded cool. We have a lot in common as far as musical interests, issues with depression & anxiety, bad luck with men (hers was worse as she went there a horrific divorce), we both love cats, have issues with weight, etc.

Anyways, I’m confused & hurt by her odd behavior as she flaked on me 3 times so far.

The first time she made plans to meet me at the mall. I forgot to confirm plans with her until the day of. She never got back to me when I texted her. She finally did & said that she forgot about our plans.

Then she said she’d call me another time & she never did. Then yesterday when I texted her & asked her if she’d like to go out for frozen yogurt, she said yes & that she’d get back to me later in the evening but she never did.

Is she flaking out on me on purpose? If so, why? Should I take this as a hint to not contact her again?

I’m confused. If she doesn’t want to talk to me, then why would she even respond to any of my texts? This is weird!

Btw, Idk if I made a terrible impression on her or not, but I stupidly ran out of gas in the parking lot near the place were we were supposed to meet at. I forgot to get gas.

So I had to call her to drive me to the nearest gas station. Calling AAA would’ve taken way to long. She didn’t mind helping me. She thought it was funny. She actually had the same thing happen to her many times before.

She really seemed to like me, so I’m very baffled by her behavior. If she was just being polite, then she really put on one hell of an act.

I’d appreciate any advice & insight into this situation. What should I do? Should I say anything or not? I don’t want to appear to needy. Why am I being ignored now?

I understand that people are busy, but keep in mind that this has happened 3 times in a row.
