[quote=“raventina”]If I make a date with you, I’ll be there and show up on time. If I know I’ll be late, I’ll send you an SMS telling you how long it will take me to get there. Of course, I expect the same behavior from men; I especially hate it when they’re late and don’t contact you. This is disrespectful.
If I know I can’t make it, I’ll let you know waaaay ahead of time, and not when you’re already there and waiting. If I have no intention of ever meeting up with you, I’ll hee and haw, but never agree to set a date.
Nevertheless, I have heard that Taiwanese ladies are notorious for being very late, and cancelling on the last minute. Whatsupwiththat?!
Sigh, but then again, I’m not Taiwanese… Maybe it’s a culture thing, but women who do these things give the rest of the women here a bad name. [/quote]
Some pretty sweeping generalizations in this post. I can’t speak for all the Tw ladies, but if you make an appointment with my g/f, she writes it into her book of all things. If you cancel, not matter how much notice you give, she will be choked and let you know just how choked.
I’ve learned to say, “No honey, I have absolutely no desire to go to that wedding.” This way I don’t have to fake being sick come day of.
If a date was running late (back in my dating days), then, in most cases, I would get a call. It would be then up to me if I wanted to wait or not. I’ve done both: Waited and ditched. Depends on each and every situation as they are all different.
