Well, it seems she has been playing hard to get at the meeting stage, anyway, i was able to talk to her on phone and we agreed on a date on Friday. Thursday morning, i got a text msg like this
"I have bad news, I cant go out on Friday"
Is this even normal? Without even giving any reason, is she trying to make me crazy thinking what else she would be doing on friday or what? Right now i dont know what to do, i havent reply or call her.
i was bored on friday nite and for the hell of it, I text msg her. I was thinking either way, i dont care much now and I should play this game too. I pretend like I never got a cancelation msg.
I texted her at 12AM like this :" Hey I had to work overtime and i forgot my phone at my friend place, did you have to wait".
What do you guys think?

I think that you're wasting your time. There is one of two things wrong with this potential relationship:
1. She doesn't want to date you
or
2. She's into playing games. And let's face it, who wants to bother with someone who plays those silly dating games?
Look for someone who's straight up about how they feel.
>>Here's a crazy idea. Maybe she just couldn't make it on Friday<<
Nope, I strongly disagree. One doesn't stand up a partner by txt if they want to continue the relationship. Standing someone up by text is truly bad form. And one only does it so as to avoid having to speak to their date.
Yes, sometimes dates do need to be cancelled, but there are correct ways to do it. If you have to cancel a date - but want to continue the relationship - you pick up the phone. You give a legitimate reason and ask to make a new date. It's all about courtesy and communication.
