She was running late and wondered if it would be OK to meet at 8:30 instead of 8:00. I was already out drinking with Al and figured it was no biggie.
We planned to meet at Momoya (they don’t accept reservations) and I decided to arrive early and put my name down. Table for two please! As I stood outside waiting for Christina L. I got a chance to admire the sun set before realizing it was 8:45.
My blood began to boil at the level of disrespect and lack of courtesy. Who did she think she was?
As I rode the train home I received an email asking where I was. My reply was as follows:
I can live with 30 minutes late considering you had the courtesy to call but to then arrive and additional 15 minutes late is unacceptable when you factor in the fact it’s our first date, GOODBYE!
Please lose my number and email.
I felt good about my decision to leave and on top of that, saved money.
