Question for all
"How long would you wait for a party to turn up for a social"
This bearing in mind the meet place is a bar or pub unknown to yourself and the locals see that you are waiting for some one...
Would love to hear how long you would wait  |

One drink or half an hour, whichever is the longer.
But I always take my Kindle with me so even if the venue is full of locals I don't look too concerned or worried while waiting. |

"Thanks all for the kind replies, so 30min's is the max... or any other opinions ? "
If I felt comfortable in the venue a maximum of 30 minutes. If I didn't, then I'd wait outside for 5 as there would little excuse for not getting a message to me. |

I wouldn't go if I didn't hear anything within 10 minutes of the time I needed to leave telling me to do so lol
I am the sort of person, I don't do "it's pre-arranged so just get there at the agreed time" I understand that time is fluid and never works out exactly how I want it to so I would expect regular updates on where we stand (I will text before i leave the house to ask if they will be ready before I get there if I leave at (x) time lol) |

I text them on the day to make sure we're still ok. I let them know if I'm running late and expect the same. I wouldn't stay long if we weren't texting about running late.
I'm not bothered about sitting on my own in a pub though. Especially if they are all strangers. They can think whatever they like.  |

You felt guilty why? Half an hour is plenty. Suppose it depends if they had your phone number and could let you know. Chin up. |

I'd wait half an hour. Once I waited 2 hours for a couple. They were texting saying they were on their way, then stuck in traffic, then just ten minutes away....they never showed. I got home to find my rabbit had died so was a crap day all in all. Half an hour is my limit now. |

1/2 an hour was plenty. What kind of idiot fails to turn up for a meet with a lady that must have made a huge effort to have the courage to be there. Horrible, stupid, silly, rude people that spoil it for all of us that are genuine.
Rant over
and breath.......... |

15 minutes for me and one drink or coffee. I once waited over a hour on one social and a half hour for another a week later. Not any more. |

I gave someone the benefit of the doubt once and waited nearly an hour. I hadn't realised the tube network had gone into meltdown that evening. I was glad I had waited for her once I found out |
