To tell a date to stuff it when he's nearly 2hrs late

[redjoker]

I had a date with a guy last week and he was an hour late, it was the first date and he had a good excuse so i didnt worry too much. The date went really well and we arranged to meet again the following week (today).

We hardly spoke over the week (we spoke alot before the first date for about a month) but arranged for him to get here at 11..i txt him at half 11 and he hadnt even left yet!

no excuse, just a sorry, he "forgot what time we said" (even though we spoke about it yesterday and he suggested 11am) and now he has an hour drive here

am i being out of order? i cant help feeling infuriated by it (its my pet peeve) and honestly feel like telling him to push off! surely its likely to just get worse in the future

yes, without reasonable excuse, it is an insult.

he arrived and apologised saying he had been ill the night before and had some errands etc to run, he said he assumed "around 11" meant space for lateness... i made it clear i was very unhappy, but the date went well and he was keen to make it up to me, he's off to Scotland for 5 weeks now anyway

im not ready to rush into anything anyway, (him being away for so long will help this!) the date was nice and it cheered me up after a horrible break up so no harm done in my eyes

Now I am being truly nosey and wondering how he made it up to you? etc etc etc??????

the date was at 11 as he goes away for 5-6 weeks at a time with only one week off, so making a day of things seems more sensible, not becuase i jumped on him and shagged him as he came through the door

lol he took me out for lunch, a spot of shopping and then cooked me dinner, hes very different to the normal type of idiot i date, maybe why i feel like i should give him a chance

thanks for the concern tho ladies :) sorry i didnt get back to you sooner!

Thanks for the update - glad it went well. Sounds ideal :)

lol vivi, i may be a doormat, but i got a free dinner ;) haha

at least it went well.

we were on tenterhooks waiting to see what had happened!
