Something I’ve noticed from when I used to date LVM. Most of them were late for our dates. It didn’t matter if it was for dinner or the pathetic coffee/drinks dates. They were always late. I was on time and they were texting me apologizes and saying they would be there shortly. The texts they would send stopped me from leaving so I ended up waiting for them as they promised they were on their way.

As a result I always ended up ordering for myself and paying for myself. Most never made an effort to correct that by asking if I wanted something else or taking the initiative to order me something. Only one guy did that and he ended up being a horrible date.

I can accept someone being 5 minuets late, if it’s a first time thing. But don’t stay and wait for them. It’s beyond humiliating and most of all desperate( I wish I knew this when I was a bit younger). Leave. And if you decide to stay. Don’t order anything because that might be his plan.
