To damn the date and go home?

[AtSea1979]

I'm cold, he was suppose to be here at 7. He text after I already set off to ask if we could put it back to 7:15. I got it when I parked up at 6:50. I told him I was here but sure 7:15 is fine. Now he's just rang telling me he's at a similar sounding place 15 mins away. There's no hope is there? I might as well give up now! Then again babysitter is there now.

I'd go home, but I'm an arse.

Maybe give him 15 minutes To get to you and if he doesn't then go

Urgh. He could be the love of your life. That said, I'd probably go home. Or gp to the cinema, alone, and get a supervised popcorn.

Well that was an autocorrect disaster. Go to the cinema, supersized popcorn.

I'd have no tolerance for lateness so on that basis the relationship would be doomed. I'd also go to the cinema alone.

Why are you cold? Please don't say you're waiting outside for him.

Get in wherever you're going and get a drink. Someone better might be inside!

Personally I'd dump the car and have a few drinks or go see a film or something.

On the other hand he might be having a bad day and you could just hang on a bit for him

at supervised popcorn - it's not safe for just anyone to eat willy nilly, you know!
Sounds like he's really trying to get there OP, he'll probably be in a

... right state when he gets there! I'd hang on for him - seems only fair.

Supervised popcorn

Leave, head over to the people who are always late thread with a massive tub of Ben and Jerrys and go nuts

Well hopefully he has arrived now.

This could go either way. 1) This is a sign of things to come - run away now. Or 2) This is your hilarious first date story that gets retold to the grandchildren. Which one is it?????

You need to share how it went!

I was really late for a date once. I underestimated how long it would take me to get ready and walk to the place. So I think I might have been about 45 minutes late.

Fortunately he waited for me and 2 years later we got married :-).

Not exactly going above and beyond to see you, is he?

Expect the best for yourself, OP. Demand it. If he can't sort himself out, have a meal and a drink and read Mumsnet while you do it. Or talk with others.

He waited FORTY FIVE minutes for you??? You must be VERY beautiful!

Marking place for reference for future date disasters that may befall me!

Thats to Kits

get a supervised popcorn
Yes. I want one of these. And a monitored choc-ice.

Let us know what happens OP!

My dog supervises all popcorn consumption in our home. It can be a bit slobbery, but the floor shines!

Shove up a bit on the nosy bench, will you?

DH and I stood each other up twice first time we arranged to meet at a department store cafe. What we didn't realise is there were two a basement cafe and a posh one on the fourth floor. He was in the basement I was in the posh one. Second arranged to meet outside a local landmark he was there at 7 I was there at 8. Third time lucky and we've been married over 20 years the kids think the stories are hilarious.

AtSea1979 Is he there yet then?.
