I agree that it is rude. If there was a lack of interest in communicating she should not have mislead you in the first place. I don't see the point really. Having said that, it might be her version of being polite. Some people, like me...and like you, evidently, value honesty. Some tend to view these little lies as a way of "cushioning the fall", as it were. Perhaps she thought she wanted interaction, but then she changed her mind and was afraid or unsure of how to communicate it. Granted, she should have been forthcoming with that information.


Yes I totally agree with this and this is what I meant.

It's rude and lame. Just one of the downsides of the internet.

I agree that it is rude. It does seem to come with the territory of the internet though. And all nationalities flake as far as I've seen.

As rude as it is, how likely they will flake seems to depend instead on how much social currency they have (i.e. how much they perceive they have better options) and how hale and hearty they are.
