First off, thank you all who take the time to read and respond to my question. I really appreciate it.

Ok, so my ex-girlfriend and I have been split for about 3 weeks. She initiated the breakup so I agreed and went my separate way for about a week and a half. So around that time she started talking to me again, asking how I was and such. 2 days ago she suggested we meet up the next day for lunch or something. I agreed. I figured there was no point on being mean. *Now before you think of a response, remember, I have no desire to be with her again. I would just like to be friends.* So yesterday rolls around and she texts me that morning to let her know when I was out of class. I did what she asked, and received no response from her the rest of the day. So that night she said she never received my text. No big deal, I asked if tomorrow would work instead. She said yes. So this morning I asked her if we were still on for today at 5, she said yes. 5 rolls around and I didn't hear anything. So at 6 I gave her a call only to get her voicemail. I left a message asking her to call me back. She sends me a text message saying she is hanging out at a coworkers and that tonight is still a go, just to text her when I was ready. So I send another text letting her know I was ready. About another hour rolls around so I called to confirm the text only to get her voicemail again. It's now 9:30 with no response, basically it's like she just dropped off of the earth.... 2nd day in a row.

Here's my question. Is it possible she's blowing me off when she knows the texts aren't going through?

Candleman agony auntNow I've had text messages not go through, or been delayed in getting to the person. But... you wrote....

"So this morning I asked her if we were still on for today at 5, she said yes. 5 rolls around and I didn't hear anything."

She stood you up here bro.

She either changed her mind about being friends or whatever else was on her mind, or she forgot about you when something else came up...

Unless I'm missing a piece in the above statement by you, then I'd just stop worrying about her and keep moving forward in finding a girl a whole lot more considerate than she seems to be.

I would suspect yes. If she agreed to meet with you at a certain time, she would see a missed call from you, all while knowing that she has been "missing" text messages--it would make sense for her to call you back or at least text you!

So if I were you, I would just let things be. From my own experience, trying to be friends with your ex never works. Stupid things such as your situation happen or one person still has feelings. Whatever it may be, it's usually best just to not remain in contact, especially only 3 weeks after the breakup. My guess is she called you again because she was feeling lonely, she got her fill, and decided to bail. It's rude, and honestly, I (and many other people) wouldn't just blow off a friend like that.
