I just wanted to thank everyone for their help! I really found the advice helpful from mskedi and perkycurls and the other girls with the same problem. I am glad to know that you have fixed this. I'll try your ideas and I'll remember to keep myself busy and not obsess over where he is.

It's funny that a lot of us have this problem. We girls with the "gotta be early rather than late" attitude dating guys who take their sweet ol' time.

I'm glad others have found ways to deal with this. I'll definitely be using these ideas in the future. Thank you!

God Bless,
Liz

To be fair the latest I have been for my girlfriend has been around 10-15 minutes, and I called in advance to notify her. Normally I'm 15- 30 mintues early.
It's not that hard, I guess some males seem to have issues with it, I guess it also depends on body developement because some teenagers do need to sleep in longer then others and depending on the time of day... I doubt this is a gender realted issue.

Well, I'm much like your boyfriend. I am rarely on time to meet up with a friend or my boyfriend. The only occasions where I would be on time is if I were in a wedding, or meeting people for dinner at a specific time. I can't rush, and if I allow myself extra time, then I just move even slower, and I still won't be on time.

The difference is that my friends and boyfriend are the same way I am, and no one cares if the other shows up an hour late, in fact, it's expected. I guess we're kind of weird like that. Lucky, too. ;) None of us means any disrespect to the other. If my bf told me it really bothered him, it would very hard for me to comply, even thought I might want to, but I'm sure I would find a way to cut corners, like put my makeup on at his house, or something.

Maybe if your bf is doing errands and stuff, you could offer to come along, rather than him trying to get everything done before he sees you? I can't really think of anything else.

Oh, yeah, and the laughing at you is not very nice. He should at least act apologetic.
