This one is probably the one I feel the most strongly about.
I have always taken pride in the manners my mother has brought me up with, I somehow seem to find less and less people that were not brought up the same way.
Being late is a statement about how little regard you have for other peoples time. It's disrespectful, rude and narcissistic. It's simply just poor manners. No to mention the first impression you give.
This speaks volumes and there will never be another date. I would be ashamed to even introduce this guy to my mother. She would have a damn heart attack should he rock up late.
How does a male think this impresses a woman? It happens so often and to be quite frank, I find it disgusting.
If a time of 7pm was arranged, you arrive 5min early. Don't ever 1. Keep me waiting, or even worse 2. Phone at 7pm to say you're going to be late (why do people wait till the time you are supposed to meet them to inform you that they are running late? If you know you are going to be late you let me know before hand, and as early as possible). I'm sorry but that is not on. I don't care who you are.
Look I do understand traffic issues etc, but as previously said, let me know prior.
There it is, simple - nothing more to it.
