So here's a question, guys (and gals). Do you think there's a difference between scattered and flaky?

I think you can be one without the other. Whadday'all think?

No, but they can make good pie crusts.

She adds, “Not long ago, Alex offered to drop off a work package at Fed Ex to save me the trip. It was an important set of mock-ups for one of my graphic design clients. Three days later, when he picked me up for a movie, I spotted the package on the back seat of his car! I was livid.”
See, this is where the girl in the article goes wrong. This guy has proved time and again he cannot be trusted with this kind of responsibility. Yet, she gave him her important package to handle anyway. Guess what? If he's doing that with your important Fed Ex package, he's going to do that with every other aspect of your relationship, too.

A flaky guy cannot be trusted. Walk away. Let him find some other woman who is just as flaky. They deserve each other. Me, I'm sticking with a man who is true to his word, and can be trusted.

I am sure what keeps her there is that he has some wealth, he is nice and loving and there is a baby on the way but still, so much pain!
I just had to make the decision to stop seeing someone who was exhibiting "flakiness" but has some wealth, is nice, and loving. I'm really bummed because of some really positive things between us, but after telling him how his lack of follow through made me feel he did it again the very next weekend. Knowing that I would have to expect him not to follow through just doesn't feel good to me. I'd rather look forward to what someone says is going to happen than continually prepare myself to not be disappointed just in case it doesn't. Yuck!
