Ok, fair enough. It's a courtesy issue. Personally, I would have walked away due to the extreme tardiness.

"

😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was in agony from laughing so much ( and the entire pub was too LOL ).
Haha, so funny!

The worst part of it all is he was sort of looking down on me because I was a fashion intern at the time. Clearly, my legal qualifications weren't good enough. He seriously thought he was God's gift to women. He was also rather condescending to the staff. He made sure the waiter and I noticed he was the proud owner of a black card. It was nauseating.

There is all sorts of entitlement in the dating world unfortunately. It's fine if you desire something in particular. It's not so good that you think you deserve something because of this or that.

This was in my early 20s. The guy was from England visiting and didn't know the area so I put up with it. If this happen now, I would have just left.

Nothing really major, though I do remember one date when the bill came she pulled out her wallet and said "oh sorry, all I have is 100's". Not sure if she was trying to impress me or what, I just kind of rolled my eyes as I looked down at the table. I always pay on the first date anyway, though part of me was tempted to let her. In any case, that was the first and only date.

I ain't gonna lie, it happened to me once. I arrived 30 minutes late on the third date. The worst part is that I was the one who requested to meet up at 5pm. I took far too much time to get ready. He was so mad. It didn't prevent him from being all over me all night but I admit, it was very rude. I'm slightly embarrassed. I had no clue what I was doing at 22. I was a bit less considerate.

I feel like common courtesy would be to communicate that you're going to be late. I wouldn't be nearly as upset as I would if the other party didn't tell me at all. I'm glad you've grown up. We all have in some form or another.

What a catch LOL, Think even I would be tempted to walk over and pour drink on him

You reminded me LOL.....

I was a right lad at school at about 11/12, I was on the way to school I was with my mate and we were in a train station, we was barged by a big man in a suit and he looked at us and flashed the inside of his blazer ( showing the brand can't remember now which one ) tutted at us and rolled his eyes as if it say I'm the man don't get in my way sort of thing.

This happened on the escalators ( London Underground ) and as he turned to go down I stuck my leg out and tripped him up!!! . Now he was huge and it was like an elephant rolling over LOL, he's ripped his suit best of all. As he got up I couldn't help but wind him up " oh terribly sorry sir that WAS a nice suit! " 😂😂😂😂😂

He had that " executive " look about him but I'll never forget his face when he looked up at us LOL

Didn't want anyone to miss this one. It made me spit out my coffee a little!


I usually save my "raped by a ghost" stories for the second date.
