About friend/work colleague?

A friend/former work colleague contacted me via WhatsApp about 6 months ago because she was coming to a meeting at my place of work and could she see me. Unfortunately I wasn't in work that day, so I replied saying that and asking how she was etc. She didn't reply.

A few months later she contacted me to say she would be at my workplace again, could she see me? I was in although about to leave. She ended up being late for the meeting and I hung around waiting for about 20 mins. I told her this but said I had to go but asked how she was etc. But no reply!

This week she said she was coming to a meeting again over Facebook! I sent her a private message saying I had now left that workplace, how was she and her kids etc but not a sausage of a reply!

Aibu to find this odd? I'd understand if I wanted to meet up and she was just blanking me but she's the one seeking me out!!! How do I respond next time she asks?

Don't bother responding at all. What's the point?

Yes it is odd. Personally I would just say something along the lines of 'I'm not sure yet if I'll be around then. Feel free to message when you arrive and I'll try and come down if available'. But I wouldn't arrange anything. Or go out of your way.
You'd be perfectly within reason to ignore any future messages to be honest, since she's been the one not replying. See how you feel!

I'm not even trying to pin her down to a time or place! It's just polite to reply with 'Yeah I'm fine, work and kids be are busy blah blah'!

I always thought I was the rude and antisocial one!

Bet she's hoping to tap you up for work or similar and not interested if it's out of work!!
