You've arrived at the restaurant, maybe even a few minutes early for your It’s Just Lunch date, and checked in with the hostess. She informs you that your date has not yet checked in, but she will notify you when s/he arrives. So, you wait.. and wait... and wait. What's going on?
Your date might be running a bit late. Depending on the time of day your date is scheduled for and where it is located, your date may be caught in traffic or having difficulty finding parking, especially in popular locations in the DC metro area.
If your date is running late, please keep the following in mind:
-It's not a slight against you! There is no reason for someone who has not yet met you to be deliberately late to meet you. Anyone can be late for a date for many reasons, including work or family emergencies. Please be patient, and consider how you would want your date to react if you were running late for a legitimate reason. Don't hold being late against them as a character flaw--anyone who's been caught in Friday evening traffic in DC deserves a pass!

Always try to remember that if for some reason you don't get to meet up with your date, you should always reschedule. Call your personal account representative and let them know that you did not have the opportunity to meet your date and give her some available dates to reschedule. If for some reason rescheduling is inappropriate we will surely let you know....your account reps are there to help you, never forget that! You are here for a reason, to meet someone great, so don't let life's small interruptions like traffic, a late meeting, a call from your son's school etc. get in the way of meeting that special someone!
