How long do you wait for a reply before you get on with day?

(I will start this thread by saying I am such an introvert and quite sensitive towards friendship. Just went through break up hence extra sensitivity)

I recently reconnected with an old work friend when we ran into each other at a yoga class. We have met for a couple coffees, she's really nice but last time she cancelled (for a good reason). I rearranged for today and we didn't arrange a time. I texted her at 11:30 to ask does today still suit. No reply an hour later.

At what point do you just get on with your day? I need to head out at some point to do some shopping returns and not sure how long I should wait for a reply...

Oh head out now. Sometimes arrangements made in the day don’t work simply because people don’t look at their phones in time.

But it’s DEFINITELY her thing to rearrange the next meet, not yours.

I would carry on and assume it’s not on to be honest. I normally confirm plans the day before so I can plan my day. Maybe your coffee could happen while you’re out doing errands?

I would just get on with your day. She may not get back to you anytime soon and there is nothing worse than feeling like you've wasted a day waiting for something that never happens. It's not being rude. If she does get in touch and you're doing something else by then it's fine to say - ah sorry I'm now doing x - let's try another time.

I like to know what I'm doing so I would have arranged the day and the time initially. It's lunchtime now so to be honest I'd assume the coffee today wasn't going to happen and just get on with what I needed to do.

Go about your business and see how it pans out. And get more stuff going on, so these sorts of things don't bother you too much. It may be easy come easy go to her if she is busy. If you are less busy, it will be a bigger issue. Don't let it be a bigger issue, if it becomes one, get busier yourself I'd say. Don't put too much pressure on a budding friendship.
