yes, a good idea. But if she asks you to the gift, what would you do?

Honesty is the best policy, just apologize profusely and do your best to make it up to them. I am a woman and I am a lot more forgiving when hubby is late if he is honest with me about forgetting or just not having his stuff together than when he starts making up excuses and blaming other people.

Any gender would be hurt or offended to know their partner was running late because they just forgot, doesn't matter if it's a male or female. But I can tell you I would be a lot madder if my partner lied to me about the reason he was late to top it all off.

But that would be if you ever find out the truth. What if you don't? I am sure your husband wouldn't lie to you(else i would be offending you heh he). But things like these need an ointment for the temporary sake.

Can't say how good it is worth mate. Maybe they'll understand later, but can't say might happen before that. Telling the truth is actually the best thing to do. But some times lying would be advicable. Were you sucussful with this strategy?

No..I mean u tell her the truth. Usually guys dont reach on time coz of obligaions. If she doesnt understand, then hence comes my idea. I havent tried it coz I have never had a girlfriend.

first, my husband would never have waited 2 hours for me and i'm sorry to say, i would have never waited for him either.
after so long, i'd be on the cell trying to track him down. if he was on his way, i'd wait. if he forgot and couldn't make it..............then his head would roll!

After being the one to wait, I can honestly say that I was pissed. I complained, I yelled, I cried. His excuse was I had something that had to be done and I told you I may be late. I was like you did not say 2 hours, and why would you give me a time if you knew that you were busy. I can honestly say that I got over it within the hour.

well to be honest, you should not be in a relationship with someone that you do not trust! If I did not trust the guy then I would have left and not waited on him!

Wow !!!. Ok, so, do girls get over it quickly? In that case telling the truth might sound like a safe bet. But what if you don't trust us anymore?

How can you forget something like that in the first place? Well, IF that would happen then i would... tell her the truth... that i forgot. That my mind is all messed up with the work and everything is going so fast i can't even keep in track... It's not a good idea to start making up lies about stuff like that... lies come out eventually and it will only make things worse than they are already.

yeah, they might find out eventually. I don't intend to be late or even lie to anyone. Just asking what kindof lie would you come up with.....thats all.....

I am sure she was upset that you were late and I would be too if i had a girlfriend or spouse that forgot they were having dinner with me. I know that I would never forget about doing something with my mate, whether it was dinner or something else.

Sure, you are never late. But if you happen to be late in the future, what will you do?

Um I would say I was a big jerk and deserved to receive all the negativity that the other can give, however I would appreciate the forgiveness and the promise to never do it again.

Just say you forgot, and let him or her be mad -- they have a right to it.

yes, itz their right to get mad at you. But would the relationship remain the same between you after that. Is it worth telling her the truth and lose her than tell her a lie and still keep her?

OMG!!!! I am so sorry, my boss had this emergency at the last minute with his wife, and he wanted me to head a meeting for him, which I had never done b4 and he just threw me in there, and it took forever. I wanted to leave the room to call you, but I was afraid I might lose my job. I am so sorry, I'll make it up to u, let's get outta here!
Lol, funny that just popped in my head, pretty good I think

One good believeable reason here. I am sure millions of us must have used it. And most of them must have been succesful. Since I am not working, I can't tell you if she would believe me....LOLZ....anyways, thanx for the input....

Trust me girls dont forgive you for stuff like that on the spot not even if you have a completely reasonable explanation. You would have to try really hard to make up something. I'm good at that.
I would ask one of my friends to call her and tell her that I'm at the hospital and they are just discharging me for a dislocated left shoulder.( I dont use my left hand). Women usually get compassionate when you in those kinds of situation. Of course you would have to go through all the trouble to validate the story but better have her believe this than think you forgot to come on a date. ( tags- dating, boyfriend, girlfriend, date, lie, excuse)

Good idea mate. It might work. But she is really angry the dislocated left sholder will really become dislocated....HAHA LOLZ. anyways, whouldn't that be like cheating her? Don't you think she'll get to know about it somehow or the other? And if she does get to know, it would become even difficult to explain. Rather impossible even. You will be in deeper trouble. But anyways, you plan everything well, nothing can beat the compassionate thingy about girls. They really are compassionate. I actually used it once, it turned out well. But later she came to know about it but didn't ask me anything. She remained the same. I felt really ashamed for doing it. I couldn't even talk to her like before. We ended up splitting. She didn't utter one word. I hope she would come back......Anyways, thanks fro the post.....would have given you the best respose if i was sucessful...heh....

Wow, this is a tough one. I don't know a girl alive that would forgive someone for being 2 hours late. I definitely use traffic as a way to get out of a lot. Sometimes I am about 45 minutes late and I will call from my living room and say I am stuck in traffic. As much as I hate to admit it, sometimes just being honest works. I am usually not brave enough to attempt that approach though.

Well, getting stuck in traffic works for you eh? well, maybe. You are right. No girl is there who won't get angry at you. But there must be a solution, which anygirl can't overrun. Something.....Infact u can find many if we think for sometime.......
