So, Ali finally responded. She "didn't realize" I still needed help. She will no longer be involved in the project. Apparently, she and Dan are done... even though they always said they weren't dating, just "hooking up" now and then. So, as I was using Ali as a subject for my research, she was using me to get closer to Dan! Funny how things work out.
My final project will need to be centered on Dan, as I'm not sure if I have enough Ali info... We can discuss this at our working group meeting, I guess.
A good lesson learned, I had never even considered that an informant would agree to be invovled and then decline to finish a project. I guess this a concern faced by every anthropologist. Being dumped by an informant !
