The other day when he was nearly two hours late, I called him and asked if he had forgotten our plans. Not only had he forgotten our plans, but he had forgotten that I was off work and was actually waiting for me to call him on my lunch break. It's like there's a complete disconnect somewhere in his brain. When I told him, It's nearly 1:30 and you were supposed to be here at noon he freaked out and immediately left for my place.
On the flip side of things - this is a guy that plans surprise evenings in great detail, spends lots of time listening to me, does things like bring me ice cream when I have a bad day, wants to talk more than any man I've ever met in my life, and is just basically a sweet, intelligent, hilarious, thoughtful in ever other way man. That, and not his "pee pee" as someone so eloquently put it, is what makes him worth it. Like I said, it's not a deal breaker (partially because it's not just me he's late for,) but it is annoying.
I like the leave if he's not there solution. We'll see how that goes...

Since you said he completely forgot, perhaps he needs a reminder of some sort. Does he have a phone that has a planner function or an iPod with a planner/calendar function? Even my email program has a planner feature with pop up reminders. Once I started utilizing all these things (iPod and email) with my paper planner I've never forgotten or spaced anything. I even put minute crap in there like putting the trash out on the curb because I've actually forgotten.
The one issue would be remembering to sync the electronic items or enter the info.
