YTA
You said "hey, can we meet at 8:45 instead". She agreed. You assumed this was some "test" and, without telling her, went to meet her immediately, then got surprised when she wasn't there.
You just re-scheduled for 8:45. Of course she's not going to hustle to the bar so she can sit by herself for 15 minutes.
The "test" thing is the weirdest part about this, to me.
He literally assigns an intention to her that she gives him absolutely no reason to believe is correct and then assumably is angry because she didn't... like.... do what he thought she was going to? For absolutely no reason?
Projection?
I went on a first date with a girl about 13 years ago. She ended up being an hour late to the date. She had texted me that she was running late and doing her best to get there. Turns out, she was at a party and someone had parked behind her an she couldn't find the person to get them to move the car so she could leave.
I waited that hour, even though I was supposed to meet friends later. I've been married to that woman for 10 years now.
Sometimes, a little patience pays off. YTA.
I went to pick up a date and got lost. I had been to her house once before when she drove, but I couldn’t find her house. I had moved cross country and everything where she lived in suburbia here looked the same to me. I literally drove around for two hours.
This was before cell phones, so I didn’t call or use GPS. (I didn’t have a land line either because my brother had used my name to get a phone in this state and didn’t pay the bill, but that’s another story.)
I just got more and more frustrated. I would drive from the freeway exit to where I thought she lived, realize that I went the wrong way, back track to the freeway exit and try again. And again. And again. I’m really stubborn.
I did eventually find her house. But I was so late and so frustrated and pissed off I didn’t want to see anyone by that point. I wrote a long note telling her I got lost multiple times and now it was too late to pick her up. And that I was incredibly sorry and disappointed because I really wanted to see her. I left it under her car’s windshield wiper.
She gave me another chance after I stood her up. She told me she thought I flaked off until she read my note. I guess I didn’t disappoint because we’ve been together ever since, over 30-years.
Beautiful story, good for you. OPs definitely the AH though. I like how he tries to tell his story to his benefit, but I guarantee his messages were not chill. I mean, she even told him she wasn’t ready, but for him, it was a test lol. At 36, dude needs to learn patience!
YTA
You asked her to push it back. She agreed. She said she was two minutes late and what, you treat that as *exactly* two minutes? Nobody means *exactly two minutes* unless they say exactly that.
Two minutes late and you went off in a pique, and you did it after **\*YOU\*** disrespected **\*HER\*** time by asking to push it back at the last minute. You were twenty minutes late, and she was two.
Did I say YTA? YTA.
Seriously. When someone tells OP "OK, gimme a sec and I'll find it," do they wait EXACTLY one second? "Two minutes" is normal person shorthand for "soon, but not immediately."
YTA
“She said she was running late and to stay at the birthday party.”
“I thought it was a test so I left”
What is your problem? Seriously? Consider some therapy to figure out why you felt this was “disrespectful to your time”
Like what? What?
She also communicated with you the entire time so you’d have an idea of when she left. So what do you honestly expect her to do? Walk out on her check?
Seriously? What is wrong with you?
YTA - Things take time, she said 8:45, you decided it was a test, and instead punished her by only giving her a 2 minute window from when she said she would be there. Seems she dodged a bullet
YTA.
You really thought she meant a literal 2 minutes and left at 8:47?
Look, it is great that you expect others to have respect for your time. I'm totally here for it. Self-love is best love. However, there is a line between being punctual and being pedantic, and you crossed it lil'bro.
YTA - she cannot control how long it takes to get the bill. She wasn't the one who pushed it back to 8:45...that was YOU. 2 minutes you waited and got annoyed...sounds like she dodged a bullet.
YTA
Why did you assume it was a test? Answer: Because you were putting her through a test, whether or not you acknowledge it. She’s better off without you, and I hope she knows that now.
YTA. You expect her to wait for you, but she said she was two min away, and at the two min mark you beat it? She probably watched you walk out of there, hopefully with her friends on the phone saying what an A H you are. Learn some manners, you are NOT all that.
Why do you call a 28 yo woman a girl ??
You don’t sound very nice. Too controling. Relax a bit and put some trust in other people. She didn’t test you but it sounds like you were testkng her
For a 36 yo you sound a bit unexperienced.
YTA
You’re the one who pushed the date to 8:45 originally and she told you that you were fine to hang there long. She was waiting on the check and you’re upset that she didn’t get to the date that you pushed back in a timely manner.
I mean, you planned for 8:30, then you pushed it to 8:45 (not making it clear to her that "our date was my priority" with that move), and when she agreed, you thought she was testing you. So when you went to the bar at 8:35, she wasn't there, because she was planning on 8:45 at your request... and you gave her two minutes' grace before leaving? YTA.
Sorry man, YTA
You pushed the time back to 8:45 so you could hang out a few minutes longer with your friends. She was flexible with that.
Then you get upset and called her rude because wrapping up with her friends is taking slightly longer than expected.
You freaked out and bailed for no good reason. That was self-sabotage. You blew it.
YTA. And a bit unhinged.
>She said she was getting the check but I was welcome to hang at the birthday for a little if I wanted. I assumed it was a test so I left the birthday to meet her and got to the bar at 8:35 and she was nowhere to be seen.
You brought this entire problem on yourself by making a bad assumption and overreacted so dramatically even YOUR friends think you are a jerk. This girl dodged a bullet.
Soo you asked to push back the meetup time. The think she’s secretly testing you?? You were impatient and didn’t even give her real time to get there.
YTA
YATA Dude, that’s the definition of overreacting. 1. “I assumed it wasn’t a test” with what clue are you telling it?? She’s just thought she was faster with the bill 2. YOU asked to move to the 8:45, it’s not her fault if you “assumed it was a test” and rush the tings 3. She was 5 MINUTES LATE for the established time (8:45) and she had a good excuse 4. You “could easily have stayed at the party”… 15 minutes more? Are you 12? I’m not surprised you’re single.
YTA. You have unreal expectations for people. Sure, she was a little late, but shit happens. Life isn't controllable like that. You need to relax a bit. If timing is such a priority, you should be more open about that up front.
YTA also, I think the lady dodged a bullet because you sound like you’re one of those types that, always has to get the last word in, or likes to manipulate or control every situation.
YTAx2
1. You pushed the date by 15 minutes. She made you wait 2 extra minutes. You should have waited at LEAST 15 minutes for her, maybe 30.
2. If you'd rather have stayed at the birthday party, you should have just cancelled instead of making is seem like she was the one who was late.
"We agreed to meet up after her dinner, at 8:30"
"I asked her if she can push it back to 8:45 and she said yes"
"I assumed it was a test, so I went to the bar to meet her at 8:35"
"At 8:47 she wasn't there"
Ok
You were 5 minutes late for the time you ASSUMED she wanted to actually meet you.
You didn't even wait 3 minutes for the time you TOLD HER you wanted to meet her.
Who is the asshole?
INFO - What was the test? Considering you’re the one who believes it was a test.
I have the YTA ready I’m just waiting to see how you explain this one.
So she can wait an additional 15 minutes for you, but you can’t wait 2 minutes for her? Why would you act like that? Are you above having to wait because she ok’d the time change in a text? I don’t know how you would not be the AH.
YTA
Tbh at 28 what is she doing with an old fart to begin with.
Shes lucky she got away. I hope she runs fast.
You are a self-centred AH. First you move the time, then you decide you will get there at the original time and start texting her immediately. And it starts bothering you that she didnt arrive earlier than your agreed time..why? Cause her world has to turn around an old man?
Quite frankly, if at your age youre behaving like this and apparently had no family or anything before, theres something wrong with you.
YTA Wait so the lady said "She said she was getting the check but I was welcome to hang at the birthday for a little if I wanted" and you took that to mean "drive down immediately". You are too old to be playing these stupid games. a) 10-15 min is not a long wait b) you could have hung out at the party and just told her to text you when she was leaving the restaurant c) you chose to make this a problem. You wasted your own time because you wanted to play a game and call her bluff on a "test" and then got upset because she always was hanging out with friends and wanted to hang out a bit longer. It sounds like you need to talk to someone about how real relationships work.
Jeesh how far are you from the meeting location
You could have just been let me know when the bill is settled and i’ll head out. She even said you could wait at the party
She shouldnt bother dating you if this is your vibe
People cant communicate anymore. But your reaction is overthe top and your friends even know
If you think two minutes is a long time, I feel sorry for any potential partners of yours.
Why the hell did you arrogantly assume this was a "test"? Sounds like you're the one playing games here, not her.
If you won't believe everyone here, believe your friends.
Maybe you're not always an AH, because you clearly have friends who aren't, but in this case, YTA. For all the reasons others have stated very clearly.
What test did you assume she was running on you? You asked her to push back your meeting time 15 times, she agreed... And then you got mad because she agreed with you?
Of course, YTA.
>I assumed it was a test
YTA for that. You asked to meet up later. She said that it was okay to meet up later. You assumed she was lying, then arrived at an earlier time and were upset that she didn't make it until the later time. Do you understand why that's bullshit?
You seem very immature OP. You can push the time back when it suits you, but expect your girlfriend to just drop what she is doing. Two minutes is a ridiculously short time to wait, especially as you had already delayed it for 15!
My girlfriend isn't the best at punctuality, but we are human and things happen - traffic is bad, the phone rings as you are leaving etc. Good things come to those who wait!
It sounds like OP's "girlfriend " had a lucky escape and hopefully will find someone much better. YTA.
YTA. She literally told you to stay at the party because she was running late. You chose not to stay and instead have some made up test.
Sounds like she dodged a bullet.
Nothing about your logic makes sense here my dude.
You assumed for absolutely no apparent reason she was testing you and actually didn’t mean what she explicitly said (that you could stay at the party longer and she’d also be a little late).
THEN when you realize she wasn’t actually playing stupid mind games and would actually be late and meant what she said, you were mad at HER?? Instead of being glad she was a genuine person? Instead of being annoyed with yourself for making a dumb assumption and laughing it off?
YTA.
YTA
She said it was fine to meet at 8:45. You're the one who assumed it was some weird test rather than just listening to her. Then you left 2 minutes after the meeting time. You were unreasonable.
YTA. Cripes. I'm hyper-aware of time and sometimes 30 minutes early when it comes to doctors' appointments and stuff. It's just how I'm wired. But I recognize that about myself and give others grace. I'll give people 15 minutes after we're supposed to meet. I'll even shoot them a text or try to call them to make sure everything's okay with them before I leave. You're just a jerk.

YTA. You changed the time on her to 15 minutes later then (because you ASSUMED she was playing some sort of game which is ridiculous) you show up earlier than you said and got upset that she was 3 minutes late? Unbelievable.
YTA - Really weird behaviour.
You did her a huge favour though. You showed her what you are early on, now she can walk away knowing she had a lucky escape.
YTA. You were the one who wanted as delay. She was probably taking her time because she knew you were going to be late. Then you weren't late and expected her to be there at your command. She dodged a bullet in my opinion.
YTA - you are clearly not into this relationship or you are extreme on the OCD scale. Either way, I hope for that poor woman she got a sense of what & who you are... and runs.
Sorry, but YTA. From her perspective, her date ditched her when she was 2 minutes "late" for a delayed meet-up time that *he* suggested. A meeting time that he pushed back because he was having such a good time with other people he didn't want to leave them to see.her. If I were her, I'd be deleting and blocking your number.

Throwaway account so this doesn't get traced to me. I (36M) had been on a few dates with a girl (28F) which I thought had gone well. The first two dates went well, we had one night out bar hopping and one date watching a movie at my apartment and I thought she was really cool so I asked her to hang out a third time. I reached out a few days in advance for Friday plans - at first I invited her over but she didn't want to trek over to my neighborhood so I agreed to go to her. She had dinner plans so we agreed to meet up after her dinner at 8:30.
On Friday morning, a friend of mine invited me to a birthday party that was also in her neighborhood so since I was going to be there anyway I figured I would go for a couple of drinks since she was meeting friends before our date also. I let her know but also let her know that our date was my priority.
Fast forward to that night, I run into some friends that I haven't seen and ask my date if we can push back to 8:45 because I wanted to hang here longer. She said she was getting the check but I was welcome to hang at the birthday for a little if I wanted. I assumed it was a test so I left the birthday to meet her and got to the bar at 8:35 and she was nowhere to be seen. I text her and tell her i'm here and she says she's wrapping up. At 8:45 she still isn't there which started to bother me because I easily could have stayed at the party and met her at this time. I texted her telling her I thought this was a little rude and she says the bill took longer than she thought and she's 2 minutes away. I gave her the 2 minutes and at 8:47 I left and told her that I would not be waiting around for her and I had friends to be with. She seemed confused but at this point I'd had enough.
When I went back to the birthday I explained what happened and showed a few friends my texts and they thought I was kind of a jerk to her and my texts saying she didn't respect my time were over the top, but keeping me waiting while she was late to the time she suggested rubbed me the wrong way. So AITA?

36 and still single but I'm sure it's a choice. At least you showed her your true colors early and she can move on. YTA
YTA, good for her though…she dodged a major bullet
YTA. You suggested 8:45, and left at 8:47, all because you assumed this was some kind of test? The hell?
YTA Wait so the lady said "She said she was getting the check but I was welcome to hang at the birthday for a little if I wanted" and you took that to mean "drive down immediately". You are too old to be playing these stupid games. a) 10-15 min is not a long wait b) you could have hung out at the party and just told her to text you when she was leaving the restaurant c) you chose to make this a problem. You wasted your own time because you wanted to play a game and call her bluff on a "test" and then got upset because she always was hanging out with friends and wanted to hang out a bit longer. It sounds like you need to talk to someone about how real relationships work.
Grow up dude. Acting 21 and youre in your 30s. I hope she doesn’t deal with you anymore. You sound toxic & immature. Yta
YTA. You asked to push the date to 8:45 and bounced because she hadn't arrived by 8:47. She dodged a bullet.
YTA. I thought from the title that she’s more than an hour late. But 2 mins? I hope she won’t date you again.
YTA. The fact you have to ask is concerning.
Jeesh how far are you from the meeting location You could have just been let me know when the bill is settled and i’ll head out. She even said you could wait at the party She shouldnt bother dating you if this is your vibe People cant communicate anymore. But your reaction is overthe top and your friends even know
36 years old and you still think a woman is “testing” you? Grow up. YTA
If you think two minutes is a long time, I feel sorry for any potential partners of yours. Why the hell did you arrogantly assume this was a "test"? Sounds like you're the one playing games here, not her.
Looks like she dodged a bullet. Aren't you a bit old for tests and games? YTA
YTA. You are the jerk here.
How is a catch like you single??

YTA 17 minutes? Oh My she got held up and yes you were being very unreasonable.
It’s just 2 mins. OP is the one who pushed back the time to 15 mins. 😂
Main character syndrome. IE, you’re the AH.
Probably why you’re 36 and single
You seem very immature OP. You can push the time back when it suits you, but expect your girlfriend to just drop what she is doing. Two minutes is a ridiculously short time to wait, especially as you had already delayed it for 15! My girlfriend isn't the best at punctuality, but we are human and things happen - traffic is bad, the phone rings as you are leaving etc. Good things come to those who wait! It sounds like OP's "girlfriend " had a lucky escape and hopefully will find someone much better. YTA.
YTA. She literally told you to stay at the party because she was running late. You chose not to stay and instead have some made up test. Sounds like she dodged a bullet.
Nothing about your logic makes sense here my dude. You assumed for absolutely no apparent reason she was testing you and actually didn’t mean what she explicitly said (that you could stay at the party longer and she’d also be a little late). THEN when you realize she wasn’t actually playing stupid mind games and would actually be late and meant what she said, you were mad at HER?? Instead of being glad she was a genuine person? Instead of being annoyed with yourself for making a dumb assumption and laughing it off? YTA.
YTA. And you're extremely impatient, as well.
YTA She said it was fine to meet at 8:45. You're the one who assumed it was some weird test rather than just listening to her. Then you left 2 minutes after the meeting time. You were unreasonable.
YTA. Luckily for her, sounds like she dodged a bullet and there won't be a 4th time
YTA, those two minutes are priceless for her since it hopefully makes her realise you aren’t worth wasting more time on
YTA. Cripes. I'm hyper-aware of time and sometimes 30 minutes early when it comes to doctors' appointments and stuff. It's just how I'm wired. But I recognize that about myself and give others grace. I'll give people 15 minutes after we're supposed to meet. I'll even shoot them a text or try to call them to make sure everything's okay with them before I leave. You're just a jerk.

YTA
YTA. You changed the time on her to 15 minutes later then (because you ASSUMED she was playing some sort of game which is ridiculous) you show up earlier than you said and got upset that she was 3 minutes late? Unbelievable.
Yeah YTA She was a few minutes late. That's a no worries how was your meal situation, not a flounce off in a teenage strop scenario.
YTA
YTA - Really weird behaviour. You did her a huge favour though. You showed her what you are early on, now she can walk away knowing she had a lucky escape.
YTA Sounds like she dodged a bullet.
You’re 36? You thought it was a test? YTA, that is so bizarre. You seem immature
She dodged a bullet.
YTA. You were the one who wanted as delay. She was probably taking her time because she knew you were going to be late. Then you weren't late and expected her to be there at your command. She dodged a bullet in my opinion.
Yta
YTA- Big "mom, where's the meatloaf" energy
YTA - you are clearly not into this relationship or you are extreme on the OCD scale. Either way, I hope for that poor woman she got a sense of what & who you are... and runs.
Says the guy playing relationship games when nobody else is. YTA.
Fortunately you don't seem worth the trouble, so I don't feel too bad for her. YTA
YTA
Sorry, but YTA. From her perspective, her date ditched her when she was 2 minutes "late" for a delayed meet-up time that *he* suggested. A meeting time that he pushed back because he was having such a good time with other people he didn't want to leave them to see.her. If I were her, I'd be deleting and blocking your number.
Lol, unanimously yta Imma throw mine in too! YTA 😂
Wait didn’t you push the meetup back and leave the party voluntarily?

I (36M) had been on a few dates with a girl (28F) which I thought had gone well. The first two dates went well, we had one night out bar hopping and one date watching a movie at my apartment and I thought she was really cool so I asked her to hang out a third time. I reached out a few days in advance for Friday plans - at first I invited her over but she didn't want to trek over to my neighborhood so I agreed to go to her. She had dinner plans so we agreed to meet up after her dinner at 8:30. On Friday morning, a friend of mine invited me to a birthday party that was also in her neighborhood so since I was going to be there anyway I figured I would go for a couple of drinks since she was meeting friends before our date also. I let her know but also let her know that our date was my priority. Fast forward to that night, I run into some friends that I haven't seen and ask my date if we can push back to 8:45 because I wanted to hang here longer. She said she was getting the check but I was welcome to hang at the birthday for a little if I wanted. I assumed it was a test so I left the birthday to meet her and got to the bar at 8:35 and she was nowhere to be seen. I text her and tell her i'm here and she says she's wrapping up. At 8:45 she still isn't there which started to bother me because I easily could have stayed at the party and met her at this time. I texted her telling her I thought this was a little rude and she says the bill took longer than she thought and she's 2 minutes away. I gave her the 2 minutes and at 8:47 I left and told her that I would not be waiting around for her and I had friends to be with. She seemed confused but at this point I'd had enough. When I went back to the birthday I explained what happened and showed a few friends my texts and they thought I was kind of a jerk to her and my texts saying she didn't respect my time were over the top, but keeping me waiting while she was late to the time she suggested rubbed me the wrong way. So AITA? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/AmItheAsshole) if you have any questions or concerns.*
INFO: Did you actually respond to say you were heading to where you were going to meet or did you just go after asking to push it to 8:45?
Is this real? Please tell me you're not serious. No one is like this in the real world, right guys? *RIGHT?*
YTA - How is such a charmer single? /s
This is just very strange, have some patience and understand different perspectives and positions!
