Hey dad, there is this girl that's leading me on. Should I confront her or take the hint?

Hey dad,

So there is this girl thats leading me on a little. When we meet she is super friendly and even a bit flirty with me. Its all hugs and kisses and how great I am and how we should do stuff together or see eachother more often.

When time comes to set up a date, a plan or something, she can leave me for days on end without answering and next time we see she will act as if nothing ever happened and will repeat the circle again.

In fact I know for sure she only drop feeds me attention when she needs entertainment or has nothing better going on.

Its the typical situation where someone goes

>hey we should check that place you suggested. I am free next Thursday maybe. - oh cool

>Thursday comes, writes to check on her if the plan is still on. No answer at all.

>Later check social media that evening. She was around with her friends and posting and chatting on chat groups

Should I just take the hint and drop her from my friendship circle without commenting on it or would it be ok to confront her and tell her its not cool and her friendliness is very superficial.

I know this may seem super childish to some of you. I am an adult person, but a recurrent theme on my therapy sessions is how i am very conflict adverse and i am afraid of expressing anger or disappointment toward other people. Like I know for sure this is not a friendship worth pursuing but I don't know if its worth it to make a spectacle out of it or just take the hint and take the high road and move on.

Ty guys. I never had a conversation with my dad about relationships or friendships.
