There's conflicting, and often bad, advice on what to do in this situation all over the interwebs so I figured I'd ask here. The things I've read range from:
- ignore her, move on
- say it's cool, but you're now seeing someone (even if it's not true)
- say it's cool, tell her you'll hit her up some other time and never call
- tell her to come over dressed like a sexy slut because that's the only way you'll accept her apology. (lol @ this)
Here's the situation:
Last month I met a girl and we made plans to hang out; something quick and noncommittal like grabbing a drink after work, and maybe checking out a lounge afterwards if it went well. I call her the day of to confirm plans and she flaked, so I deleted her number and moved on. Since then I've been on another date with a different chick which went very well.
Today I received a text from the first girl that said, "Hey, how's it going? Sorry I flaked the other night...was going through a rough time."
Completely ignoring her or telling her it's fine, then never calling them again has served me well thus far. Should I stay the course? I really don't give a shit about it at this point as the new girl I went out with was hotter, cooler, and didn't waste my time. We're not serious yet, though, so my options are still open.
What say you, OG?
If you don't give a shit about it at this point then why did you make this thread?
What does she look like?
If your ego isn't hurt too bad you could always reschedule. I usually give people a second chance.
"I really don't give a shit about it at this point"
lol. ok.
If you can't get over it... simply stop calling/replying and TRY to get over it.
I'm going to need to know the size of the tits on the first girl
Yeah we're going to need to see some pics of the chick, then we can come up with a rational decision.
Double
Quackers -
If you don't give a shit about it at this point then why did you make this thread?
Like I said, I'm still single so my options are still open. Plus, I figured there'd be better advice on here than from anywhere else - the tips on radio silence are precisely why she's hitting me up again.
If you made the thread, obviously it's weighing on you heavy enough to seek advice. I think it's safe to assume based on that you would probably really enjoy hanging out with her and hopefully escalating things from there.
A second chance isn't a bad thing, unless you're trying to be "alpha" which it doesn't seem you are, hence the thread.
I know I've blown women off before thinking I had a better option and when it didn't pan out regretting it and trying to get redemption. Sometimes you do and sometimes you don't.
If it's a quality piece, give her a second shot, if she flakes again you should permanantly ignore.
What you're supposed to do is put the ball in her court and move on. If she had a legit reason to cancel then she'll follow up with you. 
C'mon gents, I'm not sure if a bunch of you even bothered to read before coming up with your pseudo alpha BS - especially surprising from some of you long time posters on here. I haven't contacted her since I deleted her number and the purpose of the thread is because I'm bored at work. Jesus Christ.
Cliffs notes:
- met her over a month ago
- she flaked, I deleted her number
- received random text today
- still single so options are open
About the girl, she's not a dime piece, likely a 7 at most.

DUDE. you're obviously stressing this...
"- say it's cool, tell her you'll hit her up some other time and never call" - answer
save yourself some heartache.
When you say flake did she just not respond to your text? Did she say yeah she's coming and not show or did she say no she's not coming? If she responded and told you she wasn't coming I'd say give her another chance. If it's either of the first 2 I'd move on. Not giving you the courtesy of a response or simply not showing is a red flag. It's a sign of disrespect imo. She wouldn't do that to one of her friends so she shouldn't do it to you. It's just plain rude. 
If it was me I'd send one casual txt if u get a reply then sort something if she's hot.
If she doesn't really then fuck it move on
Move on, she's obviously either seeing somebody else or still hung up on somebody. Don't ignore the warning signs.
If you blow her off, make sure you don't wait too long to respond, because then it will look like you were taking all that time to plan your response. Either text her back within an hour, or ignore her.
Texting her back hours later or even the next day = "I was so thrilled to hear from you I took the time to plan a perfect response" = you are her bitch

First, clean the sand out of your clam.
Secondly you're single, so a chance at strange is always on the table.
I'm telling you now that she's called and apologized she is asking for a second chance so whatever the reason was legit or not, give her one more chance to meet up.
If she flakes again never respond, and write her off.
And saying she's goin through some shit is just an excuse for her to justify her actions. It's a lame excuse at that. How hard and how much time would it take to respond with "no, I'm sorry I can't make it"? It takes little to no effort.
I'm older, have had this happen in the past.
it means she has a bf or is dating others too (which is normal).
she contacted you again b/c she wants some strange.
I've ignored some of these, and I've also gone ahead and fucked some. Sex is good but you can't even consider letting yourself like her.
when one of the ones that I didn't bang pops up in a memory, I get mad that I didn't pursue to bang.

This is most likely correct
