I voted 10 to 20 ( indicative of my impatient nature perhaps ) but also because in the airline world +/-15 minutes is considered "on-time", at which point SOME news should be given.

i have a lot of car trouble, so i know things happens, so i would give the person an hour...but that's it...if he doesn't show up, and not letting me know what is going on by the end of the hour, he is out....i won't give him any more chances...and i won't contact him either...that's done...sorry....

thats tough

20 mins max

If someone is going to be late or is running late, a little courtesy never hurts. A simple phone call or text is always appropriate. I had a date in which I was running late and I sent her a text which she greatly appreciated.
| ||
|
If they can text or call you, 20 minutes almost certainly means "no show" - and nobloody manners either!

Hey let's fuck5

That happened to me awhile back. Just meeting a friend for lunch. I left after about twenty minutes or so. Figured they would have texted/messaged/called me if they were held up. I just assumed she had forgotten.
| ||

Well.. I'm going to give the person the benefit of the doubt. They may be stuck in traffic (at least in this city they might), so I'll order a coffee or a drink and chill a bit while I am waiting. ... is there another way to look at it Going Too Fucking Far NEW Blog Features RevealeD O O A Foolproof Method Posted Over on that NEW site O O

This really shouldn't be happening much. Everyone texts. Everyone. There should be regular contact leading into the meet starting long before the actual meet time. There should be texts to the effect of "Just left now, should be there in a few." If there's a stuck-in-traffic situation, that will be communicated immediately, not long afterwards by way of a semi-apology. If the guy is incommunicado a half hour prior to the meet, he's not showing.

Everyone deserves the benefit if the doubt, so they get up to a 30 minute cushion. Simply put: sometimes things happen and people run late. Hell, some people seem to always run late naturally. Plus, you never know if they encountered traffic or if they had to stay late at work. After their 30 minute cushion, I would consider them a no call, no show (NCNS) and i would be outta there. That being said, I would think that it would be common courtesy to call or text the person(s) they are meeting up with to let them know that they're running a little behind schedule and politely ask if they would be willing to wait a little longer. If they gave me an ETA, I would give them another 15 minutes, just in case. If they didn't show at that point and no further contact has been made, I would leave. In both scenarios, I wouldn't bother rescheduling the meet for another day/time. They wanted my time once and I will not let them do it again.

You shouldn't have to wait a minute. If the person is late to meet you, he's obviously crazy! Anything done half-heartedly will net you an equivalent result. ~CH

Everyone deserves a 2nd chance....as for waiting. 30 minutes is my standard...after that if no contact (call or text) I am out the door. Respect is huge in my world...We all deserve the respect of a call or text at a minimum.

I'd give it 10 minutes, then texted or call him. Are you running late?
| ||
|
I give them 20 minutes minimum so I voted 20-30. I always have a book with me so the extra 10 minutes gives me time to finish the chapter! Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

might as well go and chat up someone else in the bar....
| ||
|
Since I am always a t least a few minutes early, the length of time I will wait it determined by the quality of the coffee available.
| ||
|
I'd still wait an hour even if I don't hear anything via phone/text. After that, it's over!
| ||
|
Even in 2019, not everyone has a smart phone. I don't, and my regular cell phone doesn't have a text plan. However, I agree it's good to hop onto outcupid.com an hour or half hour before the meet and see if there's a message or have a conversation about any last-minute rescheduling. I went to one meet 15 minutes later than the original time because he told me he needed a little more time due to work keeping him a little later than expected that evening. I voted for the 10-20 minutes option. I usually wait 10 to 15 minutes, then leave. Traffic isn't that much of a problem here most of the time and if car troubles had come up, those usually take more time to resolve than I'm willing to wait.
| ||

My rule is about 15 minutes. All of our time is valuable. If they had reached out it would be different. But given no contact, I think that is fair enough.
| ||
|
20 minutes tops I will wait awhile if they told me they will be delayed. No call/txt is pretty inexcusable like you or your time doesn't matter to them. Best have a legit reason like being pulled over for speeding that can take over 20 minutes lol
| ||
|
I would say up to 30 mins no more xx
| ||
|
With no contact letting me know something, about 15-20 minutes. With some contact and letting me know she'll be late, then I'd wait an hour. i have before when I met someone new from here. Aut viam inveniam aut faciam Tips for Guys to Meet Women Things i miss most about relationships

It depends on where I’m waiting! If it’s a pleasant place I might as well linger a bit with my coffee or cocktail - I could wait up to 30-45 minutes (but probably would assume I’ve been stood up after 20). Maybe I’m a weirdo but I don’t always give out my phone number before I’ve met someone in person. They could contact me through the app or whatever, bu t that isn’t so easy to do if someone is driving and stuck in traffic.

if no text or call, 20 mins max.

Impressive. We plan to meet for coffee at 10am. If you find yourself in a situation that might run you late I would expect the courtesy of a call or text. Traffic? Car trouble? Running late? All of that happens and I totally understand. If you're in traffic and 10 minutes away then call and "I'm going to be late". Not letting me know is rude. Your watch might be set 5 min slow so I'll allow for that... then I leave. We can talk about what happened later but I probably have things to do. "I have an appointment at 9am so I might run late", is also fine. Silence is not.

I say about 30-60 minutes. Sometimes, life has other plans for your day. One time at band camp; no wait, different story. I have been late, due to a flat tire, a half flat spare, I not having my phone. Sometimes, shit happens. Smart as a rock, strong as a marshmallow, and hung like a flea. Now, don't that make me sexy?

i think 30 mns are fair enough to wait
| ||
|
10 minutes max. And a man should ALWAYS be early.
| ||
|
Depends on why you meeting up. Better late then never

Give her a chance and she will give you one...nothing to loose...
| ||
|
All depends on where I'm at. If I'm happy with the ambiance, I'll always wait longer. But typically 20 minutes is my max with no word for a first time meet. After the first 10 minutes, I start looking around for a pretty lady to share my sob story with
| ||
|
5-10 mins is reasonable.. the military mentality of 15 mins early is late is probably my basis for that!! That being said you should know long before you are actually late, that you are going to be late, and with the amount of technology we have being more than 5 mins late without a warning is inexcusable. Now if there is a 'hey i'm running late" text then that's a completely different story

Will a cellphone and texting there should be no problem meeting! Become an Apollorising58 watcher!

10-20 is an acceptable amount of time. If you both agreed on a time and place then any number of things could have happened. Traffic issues, running behind leaving the house, late getting ready. These things happen. But if there's no call or text or any sort of notification after 20, sorry. Time to move on.
| ||
|
A text or a call is all that is needed. then hopefully the cell phones disappear for the rest of the night

Being a couple, we have a luxury that single men and women do not have. We’ve been stood up, so many times, we lost count. It didn’t take us long to alter our approach. Now, we have a plan A and a plan B. Plan A, of course, is to meet with the beautiful woman with whom we agreed to meet. Plan B is that we make alternate plans for a date-night, for just the two of us, if she doesn’t show. We’ve never, not once, stood anyone up. We’re sorry if you’ve been experiencing that lately.

I am a patient person. I would wait up to 45, just to be sure nothing happened to them.

Just my opinion If you have a set time and places and you are they on time and the other party is late ten minutes ok. If you have not herd from that party either at the time of the meet or ten minutes after depends where I'm at I'm heading out. If I'm in a bar I'll be looking for a fund lady buy her a drink if the other party walks in oh well her lose to late or hope the lady I'm talking two want to do a three some lololol.

My personal experience, ending in complete and utter frustration, was attempting TWO meets with a lady in downtown Chicago. I'm in the SW burbs and allowed ample time, allowing for normal heavy, slow traffic to arrive only to find huge delays due to accidents on I-55. This lady refused to share her phone number so there was no way to text or call. I guess it was just not meant to be. I voted for 1 hour since that would have allowed for our meet to have consummated.

20 min leeway. 30 minutes only if she shows up with a legitimate excuse.
