It depends on the person I guess, but if they know me well enough, they should know I hate people that are late...and I don't know any one person w/o a cell phone anymore (the last one's shopping around), so they could at least let me know. If I know they're running late, it's generally okay.

Well, since you're home looks like you will be waiting all night unless you are thinking of going out with some friends or something. It would be a little different were you at a restaurant sitting alone as opposed to being at your own home. In the case of being in a public setting I would leave after half an hour.

cell phone??

and where are u located? I'm sure an ATOT nerd will offer to take you out on a date to see the Matrix. :D
i don't wanna call. i'm too pissed.

I'm with you... It's his responsibility to call; if he fails to do this, not only does he suck at life, he's lost his chance to be with you. His loss.

:wine:

Ouch, that sucks.

Really sorry to hear. Getting stood up for a date has got to be the worst.

I give myself time to fall asleep. If the person in question has to wake me up, I get pissed off. I hate being woken up

i think you should have called if its been a half hour. if you're able to reach him and he doesn't have a good excuse, then hang up.

happened to me just the other day.

i waited about half an hour for the person to not show up. I called and it kept going straight to voicemail...so i left a message saying how rude it was that they were standing me up..and that if they're not there by a certain time..i was leaving.

and well..they never called back...or showed up. So i left.

yep.

I had a girl wait for me for hours.

I'm so evil....


But really, we should of picked a more specific spot to meet and I should of brought a cell phone. Live and learn.

I would wait... 15-30 Minutes.

30 minutes. i don't know about everyone else but sometimes traffic can be a BEEYATCH. So, if they are already 15 minutes late, I give them another to accoun for traffic. Good Luck!
