[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think she likes you but she's a flake.  Being friends with someone like that can be very frustrating, and they will never change.  But it doesn't make her a bad person, and she might be a really great friend if you can accept how she is and not get frustrated.  I have a friend like this and I've found that what helps is to either 1) make spur-of-the-moment plans with her (e.g. "Want to meet us at the playground in an hour?") or 2) invite her to pre-existing plans that don't depend on her attendance (e.g. "We'll be at Joe's Bar on Saturday at 7, feel free to come meet us!")   It sucks because I don't see her as often as other friends who are willing to plan in advance and stick to it, but what can you do.[/quote]

Yup, this is my guess as well.  Good strategy.[/quote]

I like this advice, too.  I always try to follow through when I suggest getting together with someone (though it may take awhile) and can't recall ever just not showing up w/o a notification and apology, I feel like I can frustrate people in my own ways....it seems like I just can't meet their expectations. So if you use the strategies suggested above, it kind of relaxes the expectations on both sides. And then you can both really focus on just having fun when you are together and no one is questioning if the other really wants to be there.

Agree you sound cool, OP.
