Sometimes someone will make an appointment with me, I'll show up at the meeting place, and they won't.
It's a little irritating perhaps, yes.
But, it's also a helpful learning moment.
How does the person respond later? Apologetically or with excuses?
Is this the first time it's happened?
If I respond with patience rather than frustration, it builds character - character that the other person sees and might return gratefully. Or not. Either way, I learn a great deal about this person and the prospects for a lasting relationship with him.
