Why do friends ask if you want to hangout, then bail on you?

[Anonymous]

So my friend texted me asking if I wanted to hangout sometime and I said “sure, yeah! Just let me know whenever” and she never responded. Two days later, I texted her, “do you still want to hangout?” And I still haven’t heard from her. But then, when she sees me on campus, she’ll wave and say “hi” to me. It’s been a week since she’s asked me to hangout, and she still hasn’t responded, but she posted a hiking picture on her Instagram. Why do friends do this?

My cousin is the same way

But my cousin and i aren't friends and if we don't hangout it doesn't bother us

I just stopped making plans with her

Though if you can't make plans with friends what are they really good for?

The boring times only?

Hahahaha so true

Because we sometimes make poor choices of who we call friends.

Not a friend. She played you and doesn't like you. Time to find a better friend who doesn't treat you like an after thought. People don't treat you poorly.

If you saw her and said "hi" to you, why didn't you ask her about the text?

I don't even have anyone who can hang out because everyone I know lives in different parts of texas and I've been off Standish with people so if I die young they aren't hurt because they don't talk to me as much

everyone has their own agenda and you can never predict when someone's going to change their mind

[sensible27]

They didn't give you a time period perhaps because they didn't have one in mind, they just 'wanted' to do it but not sure when, perhaps/I guess.

If that’s the case, then why do you think she ignored me when I sent her a follow up text?

[sensible27]

Sometimes people just aren't in the right mood, it's not the right time.

Mental health isn’t an excuse to treat people like shit

[sensible27]

Sure dude, she said sometime you should have said yeah sure and be done with it. When the time was to be fixed was upon her. If she told you to come and didn't show up then it might have been weird/rude.

And yeah I'd say it can be an excuse

As a flake, we’re frustrating. But really fun to hang out with.

[sensible27]

Flake?

[Arjunaguy]

They don't value you that much

[Iron_Man]

Some people are just flakes

Had second thoughts I guess

Not a real friend?
