I don't usually suggest two days and have her pick, because I feel like I'm already bending to accomodate her. I'll suggest, say, Tuesday, and the answers are:
1. Yes
2. No, I can't, but how about Thursday?
3. No, I can't
In cases 1 and 2, it's good. Case 3 means she's not all that interested or maybe she is but doesn't want to sound too interested. In that case I'll say that I'm not sure which other day will work, but I'll call later in the week and we can figure it out. I don't try to imply that I'm super busy (in my case I think it comes off as try hard), but I do have things that are sorta up in the air.
If I get more "no" answers, I call less and less frequently.
As to the original question, if a girl says "yes" and then flakes, that's something different. (Which by the way is different from saying "maybe" or "I'll try to make it" which to me is basically a "no".) I'd mention it, like, "are you actually going to show up this time?" If it happens more than once I wouldn't call any more but if she initiates then I'd give her a chance to make it up to me.
