Well, that sucks, tommy. But she sounds kinda snippy, so maybe... just as well?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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

That sucks, tommy! I was thinking about the click thing earlier, because I have definately felt in in friendship, but NSM in dating. I think maybe it is a way also of explaning how things might look good on paper, but not in real life. For example, for several years out of college, my BFF M and her mom thought her brother P and I should get together (yes, this is the P of buying too much cheese), because we were both smart, and fannish and into theatre. But we totally do not click, even though on paper, we like the same things. We are great friends, but we irritate the ever loving shit out of each other. We joke now that if we ever got together, we would live on two separate floors, watching our different favorite teevee shows. On the other hand, M's other brother and I sort of clicked, although we had a lot less in common. He was dating someone who he later married, so it was not an option, and no one is upset, but there was definitely a click. So, in sort, the click is unexplainable.
