Why do women flake on dates at the last minute?

Energy
I've had this happen many time sin the past. Not anymore. I got around it.

However I never figured out why. And it affects many guys I've known.

The scenario. You meet a girl. She seems VERY interested. There is good chemistry. You both tell each other you'd like to catch up again. You exchange numbers. You call her and arrange a date.

Either:

1: She avoids catching up with you.

2: You both set a date to see each other. At the last minute she cancels and then it becomes impossible to lock her down on a date again.

Previously she was interested (and no, it's not all in my head. She showed great interest).

So what happens here? Why do they flake? Especially when she's been telling you she's looking for a guy?

Wouldn't it be better if women were honest with the guy instead of making him feel bad?
