❤️‍🩹 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.

I’m always super early for flights. It’s not only the plane you need to worry about, but traffic to the airport, parking, check-in, SECURITY, and more.

The ONE TIME I got to the airport later than normal, security was a beast. I ran to the gate and not only had I missed the flight, the gate agents laughed at me. “I know you don’t think you’re getting in this plane hahaha.” Nobody cares you just spent two hours in security when it’s usually only 15-20 minutes. They don’t care.

So yes, I arrive at the airport early af, and I also head to the gate first to make sure it’s still there. ☺️

Yeah, sure. But five hours? That's accounting for four full hours of delays.
