What would you do,
if your date showed up significantly late without a valid excuse?

If my date showed up late without a good excuse, I'd probably just be like 'Dang dawg, you couldn't even be on time for this? Yea hackin' money is cool but not when it comes to punctuality.' Then she better start explainin' or we gone busts.

If my date showed up significantly late without a valid excuse, I'd be disappointed. But rather than get angry, I'd try to remain composed and give them an opportunity to explain themselves. Perhaps they had some kind of emergency that prevented them from getting there on time. If it happened again though, then I would probably end things with that person as their lack of respect for my time is unacceptable.

If my date showed up late without a valid excuse, I'd be annoyed but would probably still go out with her. If it happened too often then I wouldn't bother anymore tho!

If my date showed up late and didn't have a good excuse I would just leave. Maybe it works for some people to be late, but it doesn’t work with me. To make matters worse my wife already gets on my nerves so one more stressor is the last thing I need. So yeah, no thanks! Let's taco 'bout how much better Taco Bell is than this pendejada!

If my date showed up late without a valid excuse, I'd probably just tell them "No hard feelings but this isn't gonna work out. Later 👋"

If my date showed up significantly late w/o a valid excuse, I'd be pretty pissed. Everyone's time is valuable & they should respect that. If they don't care enough to show up on time, then why am I even there? They can go find someone else who doesn't value their own time as much! #feminist

If my date showed up significantly late without a valid excuse, I would be polite but firm and explain that inappropriate lateness is not acceptable to me. Then I'd give them the opportunity to provide a valid explanation for their tardiness, validate any emotions they may feel as a result of being delayed and ask whether or not this behavior has happened before. If it's ok with my date then we can move forward with our plans otherwise it’s best to reschedule another time in order to respect each other’s expectations around timeliness.

If my date showed up significantly late without a valid excuse, I would confront them. Depending on the situation and what their explanation is for being late, I would weigh out if it was worth giving them another chance or not. If they show remorse and demonstrate accountability with steps to ensure this wouldn't happen again in the future, then I'd probably give them another shot as long as there isn't an "instant repeater" type of pattern going on here. But if they don't show any sort of regret or explain themselves adequately enough that makes me think otherwise - its likely time to part ways! It's important to take personal boundaries into account when dating since bad dating possibilities could lead to negative outcomes down the line.

If my date showed up late, I would act like it was no big deal and joke around about how she must be a busy girl. Even though I know looks aren't evrything, I want to make sure she knows that with me datin' means respect- so if it happened again then maybe there's somethin wrong =) Plus this way of handlin the situation is better than ragin at her or makin fun of her in front of everyone; wastin time tryna embarrass someone just ain't cool.

If my date showed up way late with no excuse, I'd probably just roll out a welcome mat that says "better late than never!"

If my date showed up significantly late without a valid excuse, I would first track the time they said they'd be there and how much of that duration has passed. If it's been more than 20 minutes or so over their allotted arrival time with no contact, I'd probably assume something came up and wait it out for an hour tops before heading home. Life is full of unexpected hiccups - instead of getting angry over one little thing going awry, just focus on being understanding as best you can; what comes around goes around!

If my date showed up late with no excuse, I'd probably joke about it and call them 'fashionably late'! I may even bring out a few props to lighten the mood -- like popping a bottle of champagne or making an old school analog clock pun for extra laughs. Even though they were tardy, we should have fun together nonetheless!

If my date showed up significantly late without a valid excuse, I would politely express my disappointment and inform him that his lateness is unacceptable. Then, I'd suggest rescheduling our date for another time when he can be more punctual.

Depends. If they had a valid excuse and genuinely apologized, I'd stay. Otherwise, not sure it's worth my time.

If my date showed up late without a valid excuse, I would probs just bounce. Ain't nobody got time for that! If he can't respect my time, then bye bae! #mytimeismoreimportantthanlatenightlies 🙃

If my date showed up late without no valid excuse, I'd be disappointed and might even consider cuttin' them loose. Ain't nobody slower than me when it comes to forgivin', so if the person couldn't own up and explain why they were latin', I wouldn't bother givin' 'em any more of mah time. If someone can't show respect to me on our first date then chances are how're things gonna go from there? It's a no-brainer in Texas; don't waste ya time!

If your date showed up significantly late without a valid excuse, I would ask them why they were running behind and hear their explanation. I understand that circumstances can sometimes be out of our control, so it's important to give the other person an opportunity to explain what happened before making any judgement. Depending on their response and if appropriate, we could then try rescheduling or aim for an earlier start time in anticipation of further delays.

If my date showed up late without a valid excuse I'd probably start with a sarcastic comment like "Hey, glad you could make it. God knows when" followed by an exaggerated eye-roll and then leave.

If my date showed up significantly late without a valid excuse, I'd tell him politely that it's not cool and won't work. If he can explain why and apologize, then maybe we could reschedule for later or another time. But if there is no reasonable explanation, then clearly this isn't gonna be my cup of teaa!

If my date showed up significantly late without a valid excuse, I'd be sure to ask them why and give them the benefit of the doubt. If they still didn't have a convincing explanation then I'd probably make some silly joke about it before suggesting that we just take our time and use this as an opportunity to get to know each other better. After all, what's life without a little adventure?!

If my date showed up late without a valid excuse I would be very angry. I not accept that! In Russia, if you are late it is because you do not respect other person or the time itself. So for me no excuse can make this situation better.

I'd start by asking why they were late, seeing if there was any kind of valid excuse for it. If not, I would explain that being punctual is important to me and ask them what steps they can take towards being more on time in the future. Then we could decide together how to move forward with our date.

If my date showed up late without a valid excuse, I'd probably give them the 'look' and say something like "Thanks for making me wait.. You owe me." Then, if they responded to that with some snarky comment or retort, I'd just roll my eyes and tell them to enjoy their evening because mine was ruined.

If my date showed up late without a valid excuse, I'd dump her on the spot. Not gonna deal wit no bs from some girl thinkin she can get away with keepin me waitin. She ain't runnin' this show!

Well, I'm not sure what to do in the situation. If my date showed up significantly late without a valid excuse, I'd try to remain polite and understanding but firm about expecting an apology and better communication regarding being on time next time. Ultimately however, this is between them and God - so all that's left for me is to trust in His plan even when things don't go as expected.

If my date showed up late w/o a valid excuse, I'd prob just leave and find somethin else to do since life's too short for that kind of BS.

If my date showed up significantly late without a valid excuse, I would first try to understand the situation by asking what happened and why they were delayed. If their reason seemed sound, I'd be understanding and figure out if we could still enjoy our planned activity or adjust as needed. But if their explanation wasn't adequate, then I’d politely let them know that arriving late isn't acceptable in my book, explain how it made me feel (disappointment & frustration), and give them a chance to make it up with an apology. Depending on the seriousness of their tardiness - i.e., whether there was any danger involved - I may take further action after taking this conversation into consideration.

If my date was late (without an excuse) I'd probs text 'Where have u bin girl? U betta av sumfing gud ta tell me or else don't eva breeze through ma bar again lmao!'

Well, it depends on the situation. If I had been waiting for too long and my date was not able to provide an excuse that was truly valid then I wouldn't be so happy about it. It's important for me to feel respected in a relationship. So if they were late without reason then this could indicate lack of respect which is something that cannot be allowed to become a habit; especially when starting out with someone new or going on your first few dates together. However, depending on the circumstances, maybe having some patience could open up deeper understanding and allow you learn more about your partner beyond what can easily show form outward appearances – provided there wasn't any malicious intent behind their tardiness!
