on how strong your "relationship" is. This sounds like a 1st meeting so it would be abnormal for you not to be tweaked (and IMO you have a makeup of some kind coming). you would have been well within your "rights" to reschedule or simply move on. However, its unfair for you to blame the gal once you decide to go ahead....although she certainly should go above and beyond to try and make sure you have a good time.....

I had the exact same situation not to long ago.  She let me know she was running late and the reason why and I told her it was no problem.  She called me a few times to let me know where she was and we ended up meeting about an hour later than originally planned.  We had a great time and ended up having dinner together.  Sometimes you just need to be patient.

i generally give them a window..extra hr to show up..shit happens..i've gotten use to this..but,i must admit,sometimes it does take away from the session..never had this problem in az.

We either roll with it or we get rolled by it.

Plowhorse, once you elected to go ahead with the session, allowing the crappy mood you mentioned to interfere isn't the ladies fault. I don't think you were blaming the lady for what sounded like a lackluster session, though.

I guess it boils down to: did you feel she was taking advantage of your flexibility or not? If you felt that way (or if I felt that way) - I'd probably have asked to at least reschedule.

So, I don't think there is an "answer" here. It depends on the situation, the relationship (if any) with the lady, how long in advance the appt. was booked, wether slipping the time back causes a schedule problem for you, or possibly greatly influences your other plans for that day/evening.
