I think it is bad manners. Or they assume, they are more important then they actually are, or you were their last resort.
The only way to teach them is to reject them. "I am sorry, I wish you asked me sooner, I have made plans (and then don't say what those are), how about next weekend or the weekend after?"
They will need to be making other plans that don't include me, as I've already planned my weekend. I'm a busy girl, I have options... I don't sit by the phone waiting for them to decide whether they want to see me or not.

Thanks, I agree and wonder why some folks continuously disrespect others like this. Kaybee.
I think could be its not until Friday that they feel its time to think about themselves having just spent another whole week wasting there precious human rebirth by second fiddling to someone else's grand plans 1 (a) and generally would like to catch up with someone they like

They trying to see, if whoever they made plans with is gonna cancel out, then you will be the last priority, they know you not gone say no, cause they been treating you like that

i would have to know the person to be able to answer that. i have a couple friends who work really hard...and they honestly don't know what their schedules will be like, or how tired they will be. so knowing that... i don't mind if they don't know. mind you... i am not dating either of them....
I would think that their other friend cancelled at the last minute and now they don't have anything to do on Friday night. If I didn't have anything to do I might see it as a good thing.
i reread your question...my initial comment was more about an established relationship.
if it was someone i was just casually dating.. i wouldn't be interested. i tend to be busy, and organize my time. my weekend plans would already be in place by late friday.
i'm sure you've heard this... "never make someone a priority if your just an option in theirs"

Some people have busy lives and are dependent upon others for their schedule.
My daughter doesn't always know when she, or her partner are working at the weekends. It depends upon her boss, what work comes up, people calling in sick, etc. They both work like dogs.
I sometimes work at weekends.
My grandchildren are my priority. Being a grandmother is like being a parent who doesn't live in the home. A week is a long time in a child's life and they rely on the routine of me seeing them at the weekend for security.
It's 5.30am Saturday morning and I still don't know how I'm going to fit everything in this weekend.
As an adult, I understand that I have to suck it up if other adults are too run off their feet to spend time with me, or make arrangements in advance. More vulnerable people like kids, grandkids, elderly parents take priority. Work takes priority because that's about survival, or providing for others.
I'm not in a position to have a sense of entitlement over other people's schedules, or them over mine.
If we get together, fabulous. If not, then there'll be other times.
