    What are you getting from this friendship? It's good that friends are important to you, but you don't need to hang on to someone just because you used to be friendly with them one time. If she is a good person and you have fun with her or value her advice on certain things etc, then continue your friendship but accept that she'll always be a bit flaky when it comes to making arrangements.

    If you're not really getting any benefit from the friendship, then what's the point?

    Have you ever spoken to her about her making plans and then never following up with you?

    Based on what you've said here I can't say it sounds like much of a friendship on her end, and you wouldn't seem to be losing anything by cutting her out.

    To play devils advocate for a minute , what are you doing to fulfill these plans , if you organised to go to a concert but on the day of the concert you have not bought tickets or followed up I am not sure you can be annoyed you did not get to go

    you make it sound like your friend is a flake but by the sounds of it she puts out an idea and follows through , goes traveling , goes on weekend away , goes to the concert .
    You though suggest you want to do this but appear to have done zero of the work required and seem quite surprised after the fact it happened with out you .
    To me it sounds like you could be her flaky friend , all positive but never follows through , never puts in the effort , when you do meet up , who usually instigates it and sets the date and time , makes the phones calls and texts etc

    Cut contact, op.
    We've all met this type of person before. It's not a friendship. The biggest red-flag is when conversations are totally one-sided. Then after a while you realise the persons action etc.
