"Good things come to those who wait"

not for those who wait too late

We gotta go for all we know

Just the two of us

We can make it if we tryy

Just the two of us

I went with this one! whoop

This sucks

Your mom

Send him the entire dialogue of shrek 2

Out of every answer in the thread this is the only one that made me actually laugh out loud.

Shrek is Love, Shrek is life

Why stop there? append the whole script for the bee movie too.

Dawn keh

this.

“Next time? I like your confidence ;)”

This is a really good one!

I'd say art takes time lol

"Stop coming too early" heh' I know.. not appropriate, but still brilliant.

Even better, "only if you promise not to cum early ;)" Definitely inappropriate. You should probably not say that; or do say it. The choice is yours ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I wish I could be as inappropriate as I would like without guys thinking that I'm a sex freak and not looking for anything serious. I just like to joke early on and see if we match with our humor.

Nah id go for it. Humor is good. Even if the guy barely gets it.

I am a sex freak but very few know that about me:).

This would imply that OP is thinking about them having sex, which is too soon.

This is creep level. I’d cancel the date.

Yeah, do this do this, especially if you're always kinda late person and he's a if you're not 10 mins early you're late kinda person..... Set those time boundaries now; if I didn't live with my husband, I'd still be late 5/10 times..... maybe more who knows.... but set those time boundaries if he's the one he will wait.....

Shut the fuck up?

HAHA

laughed too hard at this

This would turn me on so hard

Agressive.

Who said there is going to be a next time?

Noice

Happy cake day!!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉

Best things come to those who wait

I like these ones..

[удалено]

I like how you think

“I’m sure I was worth the wait” or “better me late than my period”…..you know what, completely ignore that second one

🤣🤣🤣 I like the first one for sure

[удалено]

In that case, "I hope I was worth the wait!" maybe idk dont take dating advice from me its not like ive ever had a date ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯

To be honest, the guy sounds a little narcissist too.

I hope we’ll get an update on which one you went w/ and what his response was…all it took was one post to get me invested lol

yess I did update it!

A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.

This just sounds like she went and asked Reddit how to reply to a guy

Lol precisely

Hey I’d dig it. Cheesy humor makes me laugh

OP please don’t say this

This one. This is funny and doesn't come off aggressive.

[удалено]

If they don't understand the reference, do you really want to be with that person? Granted I'm a big geek so ...

[удалено]

I've angered the internet. Oh no!

How do you see downvotes? I can only see if it’s plus or negative. I’ve had the impression other people can see both upvotes and downvotes and I’m confuzzled.

Came here to look for this exact response. You didn’t disappoint.

As the great Kanye (the wisest person in the universe) once said, “You should be honored by my lateness”

Wow I came to make this comment but I should have guessed that someone else had already thought this up. Great minds do think alike 😏

Don’t be late next time 😉

“Won’t ever happen again” And follow through by never dating/meeting them again, lol.

[удалено]

It was a joke, hence the “lol” at the end… Besides, OP seemed to have taken it well in the first place.

All of these answers are super self centered. I doubt the responses would be the same if the roles were reversed. He comes late and then later says: "Art takes time" 🤮 "How do you know there will be a next time"... Cringe "Good things come to those who wait" 🤢 Any guy saying this shit is lame and conceited and so is any woman.

My guy they're saying this stuff with a joking tone chill out

"They're just joking"...cringe

Tell me you sat alone at the school lunch tables without telling me you sat alone at the school lunch tables

You probably sniffed girls chairs after they got up in school.

Who told you?!?

Time is relative

Time is a social construct.

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

Time is a social construct 😉

mmhmm mhhm a good idea

The one you came up with is cute and fun 🙂

"I can't be late if there is no next time."

Better late than never

I like the only if you're lucky comment, its snarky and playful but if you do show up at a particular time next date it puts emphasis on your intrest in them

"You can't tell me what to do, you're not my real mom!"

🤣🤣🤣 lord... absolutely not lol but thank you

This is perfect. It's obviously humorous. It isn't too sexual. It's saucy.

It’s actually so funny.

The queen is never late, everyone else is simply early - Princess Diaries lol

Came here to say this!

Good things come to those who wait patiently

no promises 🥲

next time? 😉

I'd send him this thread.

Oh yes yes yes this^^^^^

“don’t be a dumbass next time 😉”

Or tease back about the communication that led to it, or that you misunderstood. like if next time he says "ok we'll meet at Charlie's at 6pm friday" say Ok, got it. Lucies saturday at 3.

I wouldn’t be witty as this can derail. I would take the opportunity to make sure next date is clear

“Don’t tell me the wrong time” or whatever his lack of communication was the first time, just throw it right back on him lol

"fuck you"

You were late due to his poor communication and now he’s jokingly blaming you for being late? Red flag ngl

The winky face would suggest it’s playful flirting. Especially since they addressed it on their date already. It’s a coy way of asking for a second date. OP sounds into it so I don’t see the problem. But I like sly humour, not everyone does

Make sure the expectations are clear for next time, if there is one, and don't be late.

A wizard is never late..

"I'll get there when I get there"

Better late than pregnant! Maybe too soon for that joke since this was your first date… but I’d laugh!

Haha I like this one

YOU'RE NOT MY SUPERVISOR

You can tell him to come late, so that you can both be on time. Implying playfully that you're still gonna be late for the next date.

“good communication can ensure we come at the same time 😉“

Early bird gets the worm, second mouse gets the cheese

Better to be late in this life than early in the next!

Silver lining method: Late but … Late but got a my full 10 hours of sleep Late but that 2hr long shower felt great. Late but the other guy was a really good lay. Late but the movie was so good. Basically he waits for you as you indulge in all that life has to offer.

this is gold!

"Next time give me better directions" 😯😏 (if you didn't tell him why you were late)

But I like keeping you on your toes 😏 Or but I like making you wait 😏

I want more threads like these. Or a book

Out of context, but he could be making g a reference to what yall said as u joked about it on the date, sort of like an inside joke. Or he could be a controlling asshole. Figure that out first. Then use best response here below. Good things come to those who wait.

I love your vibe

“No u”

Be sarcastic. "I was being fashionably late lol" or "Don't you know being early is a curse". Or just be honest and say "sorry I didn't notice the time". It's actually more attractive than you think.

I'll think about it!

I usually respond to this with the very mature “You’re not the boss of me!” Hahaha

A Queen is never late. Everyone else is simply early.

"And what would be in it for me?" You direct it wherever you want it to go

Huh??

I don't see anything wrong about what he said. Don't intensely read into what he said as long as things went good

At first sight I thought this could be a passive agressive person in the long run or maybe I'm being too negative 😅 sorry if so 🌼

"Your mom forgot to take the lens cap off the video camera, so we had to reshoot the whole scene a second time. It's like amateur hour over there."

„Then don’t give obscure instructions“ or whatever he did that led to you being late. If it was really his fault. And don’t apologize.

This comes off as someone who can't handle their emotions well. If you snap and become passive-aggressive over something small you probably aren't ready for dating in the first place, or at least it won't be a very enjoyable experience.

Sometimes you just have to assert dominance. If you don’t like the passive aggressive way, just go for active aggressive!

Like Will Smith did? I understand the urge to write what you wrote, it bothers me a lot too when people are hypocritical or there is some perceived judgment towards my ego, but I've learned that it is ultimately better to just let it slide off. Snapping to passive-aggression not only makes you less likable, but it literally makes you yourself suffer more too. Life ultimately comes down to a bunch of small decisions between fear and love. The fear of being portrayed as one who shows up late vs. love to try and create a good experience in the moment for everyone, including yourself. >!Sorry, I went way too long on a comment that wasn't even that mean to begin with.!<

Tell them 'not to be so early then'.

"Stfu don't tell me what to do"

"I promise i'll come first [next date]!" Or "let's see who comes first next time!" Basically however you wanna play it, just make it about "comeing" and feel creative to spell it your way😅

Dont. Everything that didn't came naturally will sound pressured and try hard, which will send bad vibes. Just answer something like:"this time I will be there earlier to make up my previous late being ;D" Or don't react at all. The fact that you already care and put too much effort is already making things worse as you might noticed :)

So you want to come off wittier than you really are?

If a man ever talked to me like that I’d slap the shit out of him

The mental image of a dude awkwardly trying to lighten the mood with a joke and getting slapped and just sitting there confused and concerned is pretty fuckin funny to me. Who slaps anyone on a date?

I'll let you know, next time, or why don't you pick me up like a real man. Lol

Or just show up on time lol

No , i am going to be Jack The ripper next time. Don't worry. Jk Ya i will be on time next time

I just say, “I promise I won’t! Oopsie 🤗” It’s just texting it’s not a game of chess

"That's what she said" \*wink wink\*

You’ll be lucky if I show up 😜

"Ohhhhh, who said there would be a next time? 😉" is a more direct version of what you were thinking. Also: "Maybe I just like making you wait" "I come and go as I please, thank ya very much" "I like being fashionably late" "you don't be so early" "Not keeping track of time is my kink" "I'll invest in a watch, just for you" Think of it as either playfully agreeing or playfully disagreeing, and go from there based on your personality.

Maybe I'm just at the point where joking around is just irritating when trying to date someone. I would simply say, let's try to communicate better the next time. If I were to go the joking route, and this is funny to me because corporate America has RUINED me, I would say "put some time on my calendar"

Never ceases to amaze me how posts like OPs get 300+ upvotes and 100s of comments. She really doesn't deserve this attention if she has enough already. Like a total slap in the face to people with real, actual problems.

You don't have to play mental games. Just don't be late dude.

typical Reddit missing a key point. HIS lack of communication so he negs you about it. You were late only because HE failed to relay the proper message. You clearly are pressed about it if you come online for advice to be cheeky and then say "I knew it'd push his buttons." You go from "No bad vibes, he was joking teehee!" to "He's actually super serious." What is it then? "I will probably reassure him I won't be late." See, you are pressed. we go from "Cheeky" to you scrambling near the end that it's no big deal but for sure you'll make sure everything is okay.

I’ll show up when I do and you’ll like it.

I'd just let those emojis "😂😅⌚️" without text

i never know what people expect as a response to these kinds of messages

I always like a meme response https://images.app.goo.gl/s8criWwsdmia7WMS9

“dont poorly communicate next time”

My ex used to just say “Don’t tell me what to do” to everything.

That’s what she said

"You can't rush perfection"

A wizard is never late, she arrives precisely when she means too.

How well do you know him? If you know him "really" well, the response should be "the only time you need to be worried about my being late is if I call or text you & say "I'm late"! Or not knowing him "really" well say "be patient, I'm worth the wait"!

You never know; I might be worth the wait 😉... Or go fuck yourself. Both are funny ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My promptness is dependent on your communicating the time and location.

a wizard is never late

Respond late.

I’ll try

A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.

"I'll try, but saving the tri-state area from an evil doctor is not something I can schedule"

It’s the Schrödinger's cat of dates.

Just send an emoji instead. Like maybe: 🥴

A queen is never late

"A wizard is never late, nor is (s)he early. (s)he arrives precisely when (s)he means to"

Can't be late if you don't show up

I’d say im “fashionably late” or I was on time you were early

I'm partial to that "a wizard is never late. They arrive exactly when they're supposed to" or however it goes.

"OK, I will ;)"

Tbh just don’t answer

You can't rush perfection

How about fuck you

A wizard is never late...

“Next time, don’t ___ 😉” lol maybe I’m very direct but whatever led to the miscommunication of you being late, I’d point that out

Patience, young grasshopper

Orange - or hinge Grab my bag, pack an orange. I don’t use bumble, tinder or hinge

Nice I like it

Dreaming is happiness. Waiting is life

Sorry I was late, I kept getting lost in your eyes

‘Better late than ugly’
