How to deal with the chronically late boyfriend?

[honeychile]

I tend to run late (mostly due to my job) and I have both a great friend & a great guy who also run late. Here's what I suggest:

1) Decide if he's worth it. That's something nobody but you can decide. Does he run late to work? School? Church? Other non-reschedulable events?

2) Get him a watch for Christmas, and/or an alarm clock. Some watches come with alarms - you could set a time for "call MTSUGurl".

3) Talk about it to him. Tell him your frustrations, and let him know that others are talking about it. Let him know that this could be a deal breaker. DO NOT lecture him; if he's over 15, he's heard it all before, and all he'll hear is "You always run late blah blah blah blah".

4) Set reasonable limits.

5) KEEP THEM!

6) Re-evaluate after a couple weeks.

Good luck!
