How to Get a Date If She Flakes on You

Keep your cool if the girl flakes on you. Remember, you just met. If you flip out now, because of the actions of someone you just met, you are at best too emotional and at worst a potential clingy stalker.

Continue your night and get other phone numbers from other girls. You did have a plan B, didn't you?

If not, let this be a lesson. Girls flake. Always have a plan B.

Let it marinate for a day or so, then call Flake Girl back the next day.

This phone call should be humorous and make light of the situation. You should act like she's an old, unreliable friend that you're used to this kind of behavior from.

What if she picks up? Trust me, she won't.

Your message should be something like, "Well, looks like you got cold feet. Call me back and I'll get you some warmer shoes. That is, of course, after you buy me dinner to make up for this incredible inconvenience. I had the orchestra all ready!"

If she calls back after step 2, you're gold. Give her a hard time for flaking and make her make up for it, but nothing too harsh. Remember, she doesn't owe you anything. This is just to show that you're not going to put up with flaky behavior, which she will respect.

If she doesn't call back, which is more likely, wait a week. Then text back like absolutely nothing happened. "Hey, what's up?" If she responds, set another date like nothing happened, but tell her straight up that if she's not there at such and such a time, you're leaving. Good luck.
