It's not especially polite to keep a lady waiting. But more importantly, how about both parties aim to show up -- here's a novel idea, ON-TIME??? And if u have the unfortunate luck to arrive before her, it merely shows that u have respect and courtesy for her (and your) time. With the right girl, it makes a great impression. Enough of these bull shit games about who should show up first, etc. Because you also risk the chance of her sitting at the bar, while she waits for you to *finally* show up, and another guy chatting her up. She may not even notice when you waltz in.Alexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08963363601007365951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366346005245270042.post-78442418334276228492008-01-04T15:56:00.000-05:002008-01-04T15:56:00.000-05:00I diagree. Experience has taught me you DO NOT want to show up early before her. You want her to show up first. There's multiple reasons for this...<BR/><BR/>-If she flakes on you or is late you sit there like an idiot wasting time out of your day. Instead, call her around the meet up time and ask her how far away she is, that way you will know whether she's going to show up and when. If she says she's already there or close, then you can say "Cool, I'll be there in 10, grab us a table." If she totally forgot about your meet up or gives you an excuse that she can't meet up, then you can say, "Oh thank god, I'm down in (location) and totally forgot we were supposed to meet up. We'll make it happen another time, have a good day, bye."<BR/><BR/>-Letting her get there first sub-communicates that YOU are the prize, and you're a super busy guy with a full life.<BR/><BR/>-Letting her get there first and wait for you a few minutes works HUGELY toward your advantage. By nature it's uncomfortable being alone in a social environment...it's good to let her feel this so when you show up she'll be that much more thrilled to see you. Now those feelings will be anchored, so if you leave to go to the bathroom those feelings will return and she will feel uncomfortable without you around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
