Honestly, she would have less than 1 min. Any date should always be early IMO

I waited two hours for hubby to show up on Valentines day this year. He's a bit of the absent minded professor type and finally I concluded that he forgot and went home. Turns out, he got caught up at work in a call with a Japanese client and was flipping out thinking I was there waiting for him. He also could not even get away to call.
It happens - I threw the obligatory wet weasel at him when he walked in the door carrying flowers and a card, just to let him know that this better be a rare occurrence. . _____________________

Depends on the person and how well I've come to know them, but general time of 15 min. -- like elementary school recess -- sounds good to me.
I'm a strong believer in punctuality, and if I can't make it for reasons beyond my control, I'll have to apologize profusely. _____________________

I usually dont even set a time or arrange things so that waiting time is irrelevant.
We either meet at my place or hers before going somewhere, so if either of us is late, it wont really matter because we can be busy doing our thing while we wait. _____________________

Mmmm... two hours about. I'm pretty easygoing. And rather unreliable myself.

While I was actually referring to the delay in SL coming up, and lack of documentation with a new estimate, thank you all for your input.
This thread is hencforth about lemurs.  |

If I'm waiting at the bar and she doesn't show in 15 minutes, I just start my own night out.

If N=number of previous dates
Then T=20+(n*10) (for n < 5) T=60 (for n > 4) No really. _____________________

Looks like we will need to wait about 47 years for the Lemurs to show up.
 2047-SEP-14: According to The Church of !BLAIR!, the human race will probably be terminated at 3:28 AM (Soho, England time) 2047, SEP. 14!. The church teaches, with tongue firmly in cheek, that if the human race does not discard their plastic conformity, then the Gods will withdraw their protection. The Gods don't want us to worship them; they don't want sacrifices or even offerings. They just want us to rid itself of our excessive "Normalcy". At that point, Astro-Lemurs (extra-terrestrials similar in shape to lemurs, but with rainbow colored bodies) will attack the entire human race and beat them to death with gigantic burritos. You have been warned.  So rid yourself of your excessive "Normalcy", I have. . _____________________

Littleton Man Assaulted with BurritoMay 14, 2001
LITTLETON, CO -- A Littleton man was pelted in the chest by a burrito this morning at Steve's workplace. The culprits, apparently a group of teenagers, threw the burrito from a passing car on a busy street. 38-year-old Blake Johnson, an operations manager, was outside inspecting work along Littleton Avenue when he was "assaulted" by the Mexican staple food. He suffered no physical injuries - just initial shock and personal embarrassment from the event. check out the pictures of the guy: http://www.stevegarufi.com/storyburrito.htm edited to say: The invasion has obviously started. . _____________________

5 minutes?? What if there was a traffic accident? Or what if he accidently spilled coffe on his shirt? Or he got lost (men don't ask for directions)? Or he had to take a shower after having sex with your sister?? err..oops..nevermind about that last one..
Actually, I usually try to be early, but I've come to expect women to be at least 10-15 minutes late. _____________________

Ok - consider this my apology for this tasteless picture, but I thought that it was important to warn you about the effects of burritos as weapons of mass destruction.
