!5 minutes may be a little short of a time for a cancellation but, at the same time,  she should have given you a time frame when you called at 7:55 i.e. Sorry, I am running late. It may be 15-20 minutes before I can see you or I'm sorry but I'm sick and I can't see you today but discount for next meeting. Something!
To some, it may depend, to some degree, on how badly they/you want to see her but either way it is unprofessional on her part not to have said something!

did she blacklist your real name when you cancelled?

but seriously 15 minutes isnt that long a time to wait , I bet most guys would give you examples of waiting a half hour or more in their experience, I know I could, and trust me sometimes the wait wasnt worth it

Call at 7:55,,,,, again at 8:15.  No show by 8:30, leave (gracefully).  Don't want to get blacklisted like greeneye!!

I hate when you are told I'll call you back in 5 minutes, that always means 15. When I hear 20, I go get something to drink.

When it Comes To having Fun

Being an early riser myself, an 8am appointment has never been a problem for me. I always anticipate an early arrival but if i am not ready at that time I will give a definite time of when I will be ready so you won't have to sit around in the parking lot with a WTF feeling.  My question though would be did you confirm with her that morning before you left out to make sure all plans were still a GO. There are so many factors that go into play that might help explain her state of mind.
