Oh, so you never actually met? Meh, but shit happens.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Nope.
So, is 15 minutes long enough to wait for a (first) date to show? Later she texted that she thought I had stood her up. Which OK, that feeling sucks, and I hate it too when people are late, but 15 minutes?

Personally, I wouldn't give it much more than 15 minutes, but I'd probably text at 10 minutes after the time and wait another 5-10.

15 minutes is a not unreasonable cut-off point if there's been no word of delay from the other party.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Well, that sucks, tommy. But she sounds kinda snippy, so maybe... just as well?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, dear. Sorry, tommy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
15 minutes of sitting alone at a bar waiting for an answering text can be a long time.
Not that I'm saying it's your fault, obviously. Are you going to try meeting up again?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Also, who just takes the greeter's word for it? If I'm meeting someone, I always look, just in case. More often than not my party has been there and they just didn't know/weren't told/didn't care.

Yeah, I would definitely do a walk-around before leaving. Shit happens. Anyway, are you going to reschedule?

Hmmm... See, I'm more like Phil Collins: "I waited for you for hours in the rain."
OK, not that bad....
OK, then I'm not mad at her for bailing in 15.
My phone says her first text as "received at 7:29 stored 7:47", whatever that means.
