Finish your coffee, see if he's read your messages. If he has and not replied go and buy yourself some new shoes

If he is driving he can't use the internet or phone so give him another 20 mins and take no notice of silly comments he may have a good explanation.

I think half an hour is long enough to wait, if I was you I'd finish the coffee, drop him another message to say you couldn't wait any longer and leave it there.

That maybe the case but if he hasn't bothered to turn up then surely that is his decision not to meet you .

And he is entitled to make that decision but confirming a meet half an hour before the time then not showing up is a twatish thing to do.

Could be genuinely late, driving as you say - he could pull over and call/text though.

I was 10 mins late yesterday (Ok, 14 mins) but called my social meet lady and we had a great 4h in the pub when I go there!

Don't wait longer than 45 mins though! xx

You are right on both counts and with it being 6 points for using your phone in the car even while stopped in traffic its better to pull over if you can but if not possible then wait.

My very first meet off Fab (first time around) was over half an hour late with no contact - I was literally about to leave and they arrived hugely apologetic and they couldn't message as phone was in their bag as they drove.

Might be a legitimate reason - although 45 mins is pushing it!

I hate being late myself, but am quite patient with others being late.

However, I wouldn't give someone much more than 1/2 an hour.

I'd probably accept a reasonable excuse (the first time).

"Maybe he had a better offer

Happened to me with someone who referred to us as friends with benefits. Only, I messaged him in the afternoon when I hadn't heard from him all day. He said he probably wouldn't make it back in time. Next day he displayed a verification from a younger, fitter woman. I don't blame him for wanting someone better or different; I hadn't bothered getting ready.

Last time I was stood up for a social from here, I sat for an hour, and she even called me to say she was running about 10 minutes late beforehand. Fair enough, I thought. But she didn't turn up, and never called me back.

He messaged later to say he'd had a nightmare journey and had witnessed a road accident. By the time I got to the pub I'd gone

I've messaged to suggest he could've messaged me. I will decide whether to give him a second chance when I get his response

Said he was on his way, the saw an RTA and had to stop, then had to talk to the Police, then set off again.

Said he was at the meeting point but he wasn't.
