Why do people offer to help then don't !!

I was chatting to me ex sil at a funeral a couple of months ago about my dd who is autistic. She also has an older dd with it and we were comparing notes on how difficult things are and she offered to meet up for a coffee/drink to talk more about it and to offer further advice. I said that would be great. She emailed the next day to reiterate what she had said and I replied saying I would love to meet up soon. She didn't reply for weeks, then said she had only just seen my message and to say she could meet whenever. I replied to say it would be great to meet in a couple of weeks and since then nothing !!! I'm really puzzled and feel a bit silly. I feel she would have offered me some great advice as she is further along the autism journey as her dd is much older then mine. Don't feel I can message her again, just really disappointed!

@twatmas I said Thursdays were good for me, if someone offers to meet up surely they should call the shots on when.

You were just as vague as her. You didn't say a specific date. Just said 'a Thursday in a couple of weeks.'

Why do you email anyway, can't you next or message? Ask for her number and go from there.

You sound a bit difficult to make plans with, just tell her a list of days you're free and times and go from there.

@twatmas bit hard when someone ignores your messages. The last one is sitting there unread But delivered.
