15 minutes is a not unreasonable cut-off point if there's been no word of delay from the other party.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I would definitely do a walk-around before leaving. Shit happens. Anyway, are you going to reschedule?

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

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.

Dude, your phone is totally trying to cockblock you. That ain't right.

Yeah, maybe next week.

I looked around when I got there and didn't see her. I'm pretty sure she got there after me but somehow I missed her walking in - I was kinda' expecting to see someone looking around, not going straight to the bar.
I think this is the first time I've planned to meet someone for the first time without planning where in the establishment we'd meet. Bad planning on our part.
