I am running late for my two hour "date". I call and let her know that I will be about 15 to 25 minutes late and make sure it's still ok to show up. Along the way I think, well maybe I should stop and bring some flowers, just to say I'm sorry for being late. But of course this will add to the tardiness.

My date has already said that she has no other appointments for the night. The question is, do I stop and get the flowers and risk being more tardy, or forget the flowers and get my ass over there?

What says you?

I think I would forget inducing any further delays and just get to the appointment as safely/quickly as I could.  Delays happen a lot on both sides of the equation for a lot of valid reasons and its not necessary to compensate through flowers just to say you're sorry.

You can handle this either two ways.  Depends on if you may have already met her or talked with her before and know her demeanor enough to know if she is the type who would appreciate the thoughtfulness and the gift.  If she is, give her a quick call.  Ask her if she is sure her night is open after your appointment and if it is, ask her if she would mind you making a quick stop on the way to her to get her a small, but special "something".  If she says she don't mind and her tone of her voice sounds very pleasant and relaxed, then go for it.  If her voice gets off chord when she says she don't mind, then you know she actually does.  So use that to make your decision.  If you don't know the lady at all yet, forget the flowers and I would suggest apologizing when you arrive and if the session goes well then leave an extra tip for your tardiness.  

I would prefer and appreciate the flowers a lot more than a tip.  Now men don't get the wrong idea!!  The flowers ONLY as a "I'm sorry Gift!"  Not as my donation!!  Gifts are sweet and very much appreciated by me, in fact any time, not just as an apology!!  

I say don't stop for the flowers....

In my head I personally would be thinking, "If he didn't stop for flowers, he would've been on time."

What's with quotations around "date" anyway??
You don't consider it a date??  Just a "date"??
lol...

Anyway, every lady is different.  I think Ladee Lilly is correct when saying you should call her first and ask...  Your date, I mean "date" will let you know!!    If it was me, I would say, that's not necessary, just come on over!!

...and while you are there, pick up some dark chocolate, a little something sexy for her to wear, and maybe a bottle of good wine. Hot times tonight! LOL

...and you are obviously not ADD like me. I don't mind him being late as long as he calls. Most of the time, I have no real sense of time. Without a clock, I am doomed. It's a good thing the world is so full of so many unique people. How boring it would be without our differences! I like the way you would handle it too. It means you would not pull your hair out and start screaming. LOL

get your sexy butt (and other sweet bits) over here on the double!  If you are 10-15 minutes late, I am hot and ready with anticipation, and any further delay will have me looking for some manual stimulation...if you know what I mean (hehe).

Kisses,

if there was a place on the way that wouldn't make me even more late than I already was. If I wasn't familiar with the area, it could be a disaster. I'm an American male, and that means two things. I get lost very easily, and I don't ask for directions.

So, yes, bring the flowers, and possibly plan on asking if you can book a little more time, when you get there.

They'll be half wilted by the time you get there anyway, and then I'd have to go find a vase, etc. Which means even more time wasted. No flowers, just get your ass over there and make it up to her in other ways.

Note to self:

5 beers and flowers!!!

Just a phone call would work for me I would MUCH rather you spend the time you would've spent on flowers...on me personaly hehe.

It is a given that if you called me to advise me you would be late and I told you that YOU were my only today...we will not be rushed. We will have our time. You will spoil me and I will spoil you.

When you take the extra steps to show appreciation for someone by thoughtfully bringing flowers, I consider that a 10.

Do you need to get any flowers, no you do not. It is the thought that gets you the 10. The thoughtfulness. Kinda like you went the extra mile. Do you have to, no. Does it count for something HELL YES!

What a lucky lady she is ! If shs has no other dates lined up then don't feel you have to get something to make up for running 15-25 minutes behind your ETA.

But the flowers would be a very nice gesture anyway. Not for being late but "just because".

Have fun,

Steph

of mine who just asked me to ask the question.... no really.

Ok, who am I kidding. You girls already know me too well. And by the way, cut me some slack ok? The dam drive from Houston to the Carolinas is like 16 hours long.

Going for it all hey Cary....I like your style!

Well thank you dear! I was thinking this morning that I left something out. Can I be even more greedy and expect a new toy? LOL

FOR EVERYONE THAT KNOWS ME AND MY OUTLOOK ON "TIME" FOR A "DATE"... LOL

FLOWERS ARE AWESOME... YOU, ME AND ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD IS THE BEST THOUGH. BEING ON TIME IS ALWAYS GOOD ... BUT ... WHEN YOU ARE LATE JUST GET THERE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND DON'T MAKE A BIG DEAL ABOUT IT.

IF SHE IS ONE OF YOUR ATF'S OR A REGULAR GF THEN THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF VISITS TO COME WHERE YOU CAN MAKE UP FOR IT. I PROMISE YOU THAT!

XOXO

Re: I'd let Dakota bring me flowers though. eom

"Gabby and Dakota sittin' in a tree"......
You two just need to go ahead and do the deed. Just let me be there to see it. I'll reserve the suite, and order room service.

And believe me, it is a date you will always remember. "My awesome little spinner".

I'm bringing you anything you want. How about chicken and shrimp from TGIF?

I bet what you had to eat was not 1/10th as good as what I ate for two hours earlier.LOL

Goodies are always a plus. Some ladies really love flowers. I am more of a practical girl.. skip the flowers.. ( they die) bring me something we can share together a candle, a biscuit, even a bottle of wine.

Late is late 10 minutes or 30 minutes you are still late and the little extra goes along way. she will remember you just like you will remember her if she goes the extra mile.

usually,  a phone call works and most LADIES, who schedule multiple hours do not have gentlemen lined up out the door and you are her only concern anyway....

Relax and enjoy..
