She's cancelled before, will she do it again?

I met this girl through the murky world of online dating. The first problem that I encountered, was that she suddenly disappeared off the face of the earth for a week back in January. During this time I reached out to one of her work colleagues on Facebook, who stated that she had messed a lot of guys about in the past.

The next week, she got back in touch, saying that she wanted a break from social media, and would love to meet me. Therefore, we agreed a date to go out for a few drinks. The day before she messaged me to say that she had to cancel, because she had to babysit her nephew, and her dad was coming back from Cyprus. Now I know what you're thinking. Surely she would have known the day that her dad was coming back from Cyprus before we made plans? This rang alarm bells.

However, my dating life is not exactly blossoming, so I have, perhaps stupidly, decided to give her another chance. We are supposed to be meeting on Friday. Now I am fairly sure that she'll flake. Should I have given another chance? What do I say/do if she does back out?

Do not give her another chance.

She is bad news. Run. Get out of this toxic relationship. It's like the new film 'Get Out!', and you are the black guy. But more seriously, take the work colleagues advice, she obviously has a habit of doing this.

Stop fretting. She either does or doesnt. If she cancels again then decide now if you just wnat to call it a day or believe her excuse and rearrange. Simple as that.

I think if I do decide to go through with it, then this will be the last chance. Twice with all the other signs, is definitely enough.

I agree 100% with you.

Yes! If not let's get it on an episode of Catfish .
In all seriousness, I agree - twice would be enough, especially if she seems fishy anyway

Good point, I think they were planning on doing a UK series. I'm fairly sure she isnt a catfish though, all her social media links together, and I've done the whole phone number and picture search.

You've made the same thread before.
Why do people make multiple threads asking the same thing?
It's like, you aren't happy with the direction of responses the first time around, so keep on trying until you hear the responses you want.

So in other words, do what your gut instinct is telling you.

I've never made this thread before, so not sure where you've got that from.

Perhaps she's giving you the brush off gently. Cos she is practically a stranger and when you don't hear from her for a week, you contact the people she works with????? What's wrong with you? Her work colleagues aren't your friends and you had no business contacting them!!!!
That makes you clingy stalker material and if I were her I'd run for the hills!!!!
