Google Results "How to 'prevent' a woman from flaking'.

[irc333]

As I'm sure this applies to men, too...but since men do the pursuing,

 

I did a Google search on "When women flake" and I had to laugh at the results that give dating advice to men on what THEY can do prevent it. They give these lists of pieces of advice that they feel is actually meaningful, when in actually it's just best not to have any kind of association with these people at all. "Cut contact".

 

But I'm curious as to why there are tons of sites out there are being assumptive as this is something that can be prevented?

It's obviously and often posed question. Just because there is probably no good advice out there for that topic , does not mean that there are "experts"

 

Unfortunately, many of us are too intimidated to call out the person who's flakiness (or other bad behaviors) is bothering us.

 

For those that do ask? Often times there is no straight answer given.

 

Which leads us to google. It's the internets,it's like Oz, it must have the answer.

Because, like all those sites that will sell you a 12 step program to get your ex back, they prey on those struggling.

 

And I'll let you in on a little secret:

 

Those same sites, also have advertising. And want to get you to click on them to make money.

 

Mind, blown?

yup. And as far as why women flake-it's because men won't allow them to say no. The woman keeps saying no no no no no but the man keeps asking. Finally she says yes just to get rid of him, then flakes.

Men: No means NO.

Not really true, man. Some women will even suggest the dating idea, only to flake. They typically enjoy the attention or game playing.

This is also true-but it will only happen once if the guy has any self respect

I've had women pull this one on me then go crazy trying for a second date-NOPE, SISTER

You can't prevent a woman from flaking. Just don't condone it by asking her out again. Women often give a guy one chance for a date. A self-respecting man does the same.

Here's a good example of what a man needs to do. Don't let it bum you out if a woman flakes. Just have hobbies to entertain yourself.

Because some men have the mentality that they can do something to prevent it and are desperate to figure out what so there is advice out there for the gullible.

 

Just like these sites promising the brokenhearted some magic tips and techniques to get their ex back when in reality you can't make your ex come back to you but they have to want to on their own.

 

I suppose I can understand the logic of advice to help you get a date but there isn't a thing you can do to prevent someone from flaking. If they flake it's best to just leave it at that. They either are flaking because they don't like you all that much OR they are just a flake by nature and are unreliable, either reason isn't promising.

I think that people flake because they don't like you or they are flakes themselves and can't be relied on. You can't control whether or not someone likes you or if they are naturally flaky. But I do think you can see the signs of a flaker, and prevent yourself from being flaked on. Don't let them text you a lot. Move it to a phone call and then ask them out over the phone, not via text. I think I'm going to get rid of my text plan for my peace of mind. I'm so tired of online dating games like flaking via text. It's so rude.
