Hey Stan,

Did you talk to her about being late? And how late is she to planned events?

If they want to spend time with you, then only meet on YOUR terms! Earlier in the day, catch a meal and do something more than hanging out at a sportsbar. I feel that you are acting too accomodating for them and they then are just taking advantage of you.

Meeting someone at 11:30pm is only being their Plan B if they haven't hooked up with another woman yet that night.
I dont meet anyone from the net at 11:30 at night. Or at night, period. If I even choose to meet at all, its daytime with a couple of other friends, just in case.

In HotWire's case, even if she isn't making these late night plans to meet "friends" that she's met originally in real life, she still should take charge of the situation and only arrange get togethers earlier in the day. I'd suggest nothing after 9pm, especially if bar hopping or drinking is involved. Once people start getting sloshed, they become less reliable with keeping their appointments.

Yeah, she just laughs and says, "Oh, that's just me." Or a cheerful, "Sorry!" Not much I can do or say with that.

The other night, she asked if we could all have dinner downtown at 7. So we all shlepped our butts downtown from Plano and were there at 6:59...only to be called 10 minutes later with, "I'm stuck at this thing I'm at" (she double-booked). Showed up at 7:40, had been at some wine tasting, and had already eaten dinner (while we all sat there waiting like idiots).

For her own birthday party, she was 20 minutes late.

She's always late. I don't know one time she hasn't been late. I can forgive 5 or 10 minutes b/c everyone's watches can run differently, but she's usually more late than that.

The problem with that tactic (besides being immature) is that people don't learn from those kinds of 'lessons.' What becomes reinforced is that their behavior is really ok because other people do it, too.

True. It just isn't good to do that.
