I learned from past experience to watch how someone treats others, because that's how they are going to eventually treat you, once their early relationship good behavior wears off.

So I met up with a lady for lunch and she was about 30 mins late. No big deal if that happens occasionally. We can't all control parking, traffic and maybe getting lost.

She said she had an appointment at 4:00 and had to leave at 3:00 to get there. So at 3:15 or so, she realized that she better get going and it's really going to take more than an hour. I asked if she was going to give them a text or a call to let then know she will be late. She hadn't thought that that would be necessary and only text to say she would be late because I suggested it.

Was this the first time you met up with her or is she someone you know pretty well? I'm just asking because maybe the "appointment" was an easy out for her to leave but she ended up wanting to stay...

ok, i'm maybe being paranoid. i did have an ex that was super flaky with friends when i met her. she's say yes to plans, then not show up. it was odd. but for me she wanted to see me every day. then months later, she turned weird flaky to me, just like she treated everyone else. she could just say "no, i'm busy" but would instead say "yes' and not follow through.

It's either "a little" or "too". Can't use both in the same sentence. But yes, she's sounds flaky.

i know. i guess you got to take the good with the bad. she has a lot of good qualities also. no one is perfect. i'll see how it goes.

She was late for you and then late for her next appointment? Meh. Some people have a cavalier relationship with time. While I am quite prompt, I realize most others are not. Either I can adjust, or be pissed with most of my friends and aquaintances.

I think you are putting the cart WAY before the horse. Putting every behavior of your dates under the microscope is beyond paranoid.
