Three times this week I tried to go do something with friends, and every time they completely ignored me the day we were supposed to meet. Last week I asked my friend if she wanted to hang out on Saturday and she basically said maybe. So she didn't exactly agree to meet, but I still consider it to be flaking out since she completely ignored me when I messaged her on Saturday. I tried again to meet her yesterday and she told me maybe, again. I texted her yesterday and again, she didn't respond. I don't know if she is uninterested but I am assuming it is since we don't really know each other that well yet. The third time happened with a different girl that I knew much better. There was a concert on Wednesday and I asked last Sunday if she was going. It ended with her agreeing to pick me up. The time when she was supposed to pick me up passes by and I figure she is just late so I wait 20 minutes to ask where she is. I then texted her four times asking what is going on. She never responded and I don't know what to say to her now. I used to meet her at least once a month for a while and there was never a problem about setting a date and time to meet. This is the first time she ever flaked out on me and so I just don't know now, is this some kind of fad or what? And is there anything I can do to prevent them from doing this in the future, maybe being strict about the date and time?

Is it possible these women think you're attracted to them, considering you constantly message them to try and confirm things and one of them you don't know well yet?

The fact that you messaged one 'four more times' makes you come across as a bit desperate and/or possibly interested in her more than a friend.

But, YES, it is the new trend. People can ghost/ignore/let someone out of their lives easily now that socialization has taken to the internet and texting.
