A friend of mine set up a date through OKCupid and planned to meet him at a bar at 7:30. The guy still hadn’t shown up by 7:45, so she left to go shopping. Later that evening, she received these texts:
This begs the question of whether there’s an unwritten rule about how long to wait for a date, especially someone you “met” on a dating website. Ten minutes? Half an hour? “Only” fifteen minutes? I think my friend exercised good judgment, but I’m wondering how some of the rest of you feel. How long should you stand around, not knowing if/when the person will show up? (For the record, “That guy was a douchebag and what’s with the Lol?” may be true, but that’s not what I’m asking.)
