An LA Flake is someone who makes plans with someone, often including day, time, and location, then no longer responds to messages on the day of.

It's possible to find a flake in most parts of the world, but an LA Flake is especially noteworthy for how long they engage in friendly conversation leading up to the activity, how predictably close to the activity they'll disappear completely, and how the number of confirmations or level of detail in the plans seem to make no difference.

In most cases, the last you'll hear from an LA Flake is the day before you're supposed to see them. Otherwise, you may get lucky and hear a rare burst of cluelessly insulting honesty along the lines of "Someone invited me to something more fun!" Most commonly, the LA Flake will see your messages and try to convince themselves "Well, we didn't *really* make plans…" Sometimes, they'll try to convince you, too. But remember, if you've agreed to meet at a date and time, those are plans — don't fall for their trickery!

The natural habitat for the LA Flake is the LA dating scene. They can most frequently be spotted complaining amongst themselves about how often people in LA ghost on them and not knowing what irony is.
"Weren't you two going on a date tonight?"
"We were, but she stopped responding to texts yesterday. Turns out she's an LA Flake."
"I see. It sounds like she's either a terrible person poisoning the LA dating scene or she dropped her phone in a toilet."
"Either way, it's shitty."
