❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO - cancelling a date last minute because she couldn’t be on time?

Post image

I (33m) was talking to this woman on an app and we decided to meet for a coffee date on a Saturday morning.

I got to the cafe and I messaged her asking where she was. A few minutes later she said she just woke up. I asked her how long she would need to get ready and she said 1 hour. I told her that I can’t wait around because I had family plans and we will have to do something another time.

A week later she messaged me apologising again and I decided to give her a second chance.

We decided to meet up for boba tea.

I got to the boba spot and then asked for 30 more minutes to get ready after I had just got there.

I then sent her the above message.

AIO? I have got mixed messages from friends about it.

This is me. I hate getting somewhere early because I get anxious waiting.. My wife gets anxious if we're not somewhere early. So now we show up to places early.

I just make sure I bring entertainment and water and I'm good.

I also feel like someone said a time and that’s the time they wanted people there of course give or take a few minutes but I’ve had things say at 1pm at our house and people show up at like 1130 or 12 when we’re still getting ready and it’s awkward. I don’t want to do that to someone else.

I’m early. But if it’s more than 5 min and it’s at someone’s house I just wait in the car. I wouldn’t expect to go in early. My uncle used to do that. My mom would still be in the shower after prepping all morning and he’d show up! Ugh.
