flake v. - to back out of an appointment at the last minute, in the absence of new information relevant to your ability to keep the appointment.
Damn, people are flaky these days. I'll mention an activity or event or date to my friend/romantic interest, and my friend/romantic interest will agree to show up. Then, just before the event, he/she will call me up and say "I can't attend because _x reason which I knew about when I agreed to show up in the first place_".
This is really frustrating. You said you'd go to a concert with me a month ago and now, the night before, you "realize you have two papers to write"? Didn't you know that those papers were going to be due tomorrow three weeks ago, when they were assigned? Couldn't you have worked on the papers earlier, or at least called me earlier to let me know you weren't going to make it?
When guys flake, it's merely annoying. But when girls flake (on dates) it's downright infuriating - and it happens all the time! I would say that these girls are just not into me and only agreed to go out with me because they didn't want to say no to my face (which doesn't even excuse them for calling at the last minute), but several girls who have been interested in me (according to their friends) have flaked on me (multiple times!).
I'm beginning to think that flaking (by girls) is a standard part of the college dating experience. Now, when I call a girl up to make plans, I pretty much expect her to back out at the last minute. Flaking is really a dick thing to do to a guy like me, because I usually make lots of preparations for a date (borrow a car, reservations at a restaurant, or even something as simple as getting a bottle of wine). It really sucks to get all hyped up to see a cute girl, only to have her call and blow me off like she didn't even want to see me in the first place.
Flaking is a pretty good power play for a girl, because it demonstrates that she's not as into me as I am into her (she just can't be bothered to miss an hour of reading or sleep to see me). Flaking basically says: "Hey! I have a life, and it's more important than you. You, on the other hand, have nothing better to do than clear your schedule for me."
Sometimes I feel like punishing a girl for flaking on me (by flaking her back) but that won't work for two reasons: (1) as the guy, I make the plans. That means I have an even stronger obligation than the girl to show up and (2) god forbid, I actually want to see her and I'm willing to throw my schedule around a bit to do it. Of course, (2) is just another reminder that by flaking, the girl is trying to show she's less interested.
Sorry if this was tl;dr, but tonight I had a really nice girl flake on me for a date that we made a few hours ago, and it really pissed me off. I was looking forward to the date...now I just feel like a sucker.
Moral of the story: STOP FLAKING, EVERYONE! Girls especially!! It's rude, and unless the guy is head over heels for you, it'll just drive him off.Last edit: 2009-04-06 16:08:14

Good luck....
guy: "Hey, I'd like to go on a date with you."
girl: "OK"
guy: "OK, pick a time and set up something to do, then give me a call!"
girl: "uhhh...fuck off" |

Actually, this instance was a guy. We ended up selling his ticket on Craigslist...what a douche move, seriously. |

I think it's something about the 19-21 year-old girls at my particular college (and similar colleges) which makes the flaking problem particularly bad. I don't want to categorically condemn them, but honestly I am just getting the impression that they think they are hot enough for the guys here to bend over backwards for them.
Nothing would bring me greater pleasure than seeing these flaky girls 10 years in the future - unmarried, unhappy, and desperate for a date with any one of the guys that they blew off in college. |

yeah super agreed, it's just a really really stupid game to play. it's kinda as if i already fucked up before i even hung out with her, or that i'm a pathetic guy with no self-respect to put up with this. you can't even let her know you're upset though because you'll look like an asshole asdoijasf just the way it is, was and always will be i suppose
on the other hand some of my friends just seem destined to be dandruff forever, and although it's still frustrating and annoying it's pretty cute too, like their heads are just full of helium and sometimes end up in space. i don't think that's the case for most people, probably just gross irresponsibility and inconsideration.
cut copy is really cute too i say you ditch this girl

should invite 2 girls everytime. when one cancels, you can go with the other one. and if both can go then you should just cancel on someone!
it's really stupid for someone to cancel when they bought tickets in advance. Last edit: 2009-04-06 16:25:45 |
