Do women blackball men they don't like from dating pools?

Question

I know women talk behind backs, about each other mostly, all the time. I am just wondering if they do the same with men. I have hurt a few hearts (mine comes first right?) and I want to move on. I asked a woman out and she seemed very anxious to have dinner, and then after telling a few people about it, and a few days went by, she gave me the cold shoulder. Then it happened again. The woman was positive, checking her schedule in front of me, and now a week later she is cold, after having been quite cordial before. I mean, that was the condition I waited months for before I asked her to go to lunch. Now it seems like she is hiding. I just wonder if it is possible that women are saying bad things behind my back, and if so, what should I do. I assume, from what they tell me, and what I've witnessed, that anytime there is an interest in someone, that they talk to each other about him, assessing through each other whether he is a thumbs up or down, offerring potential status.

Well if you've dated within her circle of friends then it's possible but it could really be anything. She could just be going through something, could've been in a bad mood or in that week she could've found someone else that she'd rather pursue. She might've been talking to another guy and decided she want to be monogamous within that week.
