Just letting off steam really, I am not annoyed at her for not meeting up, I know she is really busy at the moment but what I hate is that she keeps texting to say "when are you free lets meet up next week I am free all week" I text back right away to say "great I am free too so lets meet on wednesday or another day that suits you" then I hear nothing for days or even a week and then I get another text saying how busy she is and to meet up the next week only for the same thing to happen again. I really do understand that she is busy but this has been going on for months now and its getting to be a pain. I wish she would just arrange a date and stick to it or say she can't meet for a while. I am not harrasing her to meet up she is the one contacting me but it just never happens. Its bad because I am often putting other things off until I hear from her so I can see her on the day she is free but she just leave me hanging.

Grrrr!

Text her this 'hi x, I'm free most Wednesday evenings. Text me with a definite date/time and I'll put it in my diary. Cheers'

Reflect it back on her 'you tell me which date you're free and I'll put it in my diary'

What Salted said.

I have more or less done that but its not working, I haven't seen her for months now, I am also a bit worried that something might be wrong with her or us although the emails we have exchanged seem fine she is just busy really.

I would think she was not really wanting to see me but I can't think that I have done anything so bad and she is still initiating contact all the time.

She is flacky. I'd not bother in future.

Call her on it then. Not nastily, but just say it. Send her a text saying "do you realize that the last time we saw each other was xxx, (that's xxx months ago) and yet we've tried to arrange to meet yyy times.

Why haven't we seen each other for zzz months?"

And see what comes back.

Try telephoning her instead of texting.

I know someone who does this. I am just waiting for her to contact me again so I can ignore her evil laugh . She has just done it so many times that I am fed up with it now.
