This Person Wants To Know If They’re Wrong For Walking Out On A Date Who Was 15 Minutes Late

Express_Dog_4442 said, “I connected with someone on a dating app, and after a while of texting we agreed to a restaurant date as our first time meeting in real life. To clarify: In my profile, I have listed people not being on time as my biggest red flag. In our chat, I talked about how punctuality is a really important virtue to me, and when we planned the date, I specifically told her to text me should something come up or if there are any delays.”

“Come the time and day of the date, and she isn’t there. I wait and check my phone, and she hasn’t texted me anything. She finally arrives 15 minutes late. I ask her why she was late. She shrugs and says that getting ready just took longer than expected. I ask her if, before she drove here, she already knew she wouldn’t make it in time. She says ‘yes’. I ask her why she didn’t text me. She says she didn’t because she was only ‘a little late,’ and started looking visibly annoyed. 

At that point, I excused myself, said our values don’t align, and left her there. 

She proceeded to shout after me and blew up my phone before I unmatched her when I got home.

AITA? I just have absolutely zero tolerance for not being on time without good reasons, especially when you don’t even communicate it properly and aren’t even sorry about it. I know my standards are harsh, but I feel like I was very open about it and gave plenty of warnings.”
