Women receive far more likes and messages from men on mobile dating sites than men receive from women.
When you match with a woman and open a conversation with her, you aren’t the only guy she is talking to.
She is simultaneously conducting conversations with multiple men that she has matched with.
Being that she receives so much attention from men, she has to be picky in who she chooses to match with.
This means that in matching with you, you are now part of an exclusive selection of men.
The best of the best.
You are competing with these men too.
No matter how good a conversation you are having with her on a matchmaking site, these men are conducting conversations with her that may be just as good, if not better.
When you make plans with her to meet on a date and she agrees, it is contingent upon how she feels about you as a viable dating option as that day approaches.
In other words, the date isn’t on solid footing.
When she flakes on you the day before the date, or on the day of, by either canceling, or completely disappearing from your match queue, she is indicating that she doesn’t see you as a viable dating option.
She has established a stronger romantic connection with someone else on the dating site, and believes that a date with him is imminent.
She prefers to wait on a date with him.
This saves her the time and energy of going out to meet you.
After all, a date is a lot of work for her, between her hair and makeup, picking out an outfit to wear, and transportation to the location.
That’s a lot of work.
She prefers putting in that kind of work on a guy that she really wants to meet.
The truth is, she already knew that you weren’t at the top of her priority list in regards to the men she has matched with on the online dating site so far.
She agreed to the date that you offered because it felt like the right thing to do at the time.
That said, she was aware that it was a date that wasn’t on solid footing.
She already knew that there were men she preferred over you, and she continued having heartwarming conversations with these men after you asked her out on a date.
These are the men she wants to meet in person way more than you.
Finally, she makes the decision to flake on you, choosing instead to keep waiting on the men she is more interested in to ask her out on a date.
Flaking is nothing new with girls.
Girls have been flaking on guys long since before dating sites became a thing.
The main difference is that dating sites have elevated the frequency of flaking by women.
Given how much attention women receive from men on internet dating sites, it’s no wonder that there is an increased amount of flaking.
She has far more dating options on dating sites than she has ever had in the real world.
This makes for supersized flaking.
On top of this, dating sites are impersonal.
Flaking on a stranger she matches with on a dating site is so much easier than doing so to a guy she knows in real life.
