A young lady has sparked debate online after revealing how a German man abruptly cancelled their date because she was late.
In a TikTok post, the lady identified as @.dolphine.bosibori narrated that she was on her way to the date location when she got the message that the man had called off their meeting.
According to her, she was already very close to the venue when he sent the cancellation.
“A German man just cancelled our date because I was late and only told me when I had almost gotten to the date location,” she wrote.
Backlash and reactions
Her revelation quickly generated mixed reactions online. While some sympathised with her, many people defended the German man’s decision, arguing that punctuality is highly valued in German culture.
In the comment section, critics accused her of being disrespectful of his time, while others suggested that lateness could be a dealbreaker in certain cultures.
Werkstatt opined: “In Germany being late is verryyy disrespectful. I understand that ppl aren’t used to that and don’t intent to be disrespectful, but that was predictable.”
mari noted: “For the fact that you are not telling how late you were I guess you left your house when you were supposed to meet. I personally consider being late without any good reason as rude and would also leave.”
Farmor penned: “I mean he should have told you he canceled the date but why where you late? It is disrespectful to be late without calling and especially the first time you’re meeting someone.”
👸🏼 Victoria🇫🇮🇮🇹 🧿 opined: “For girls is okay to get late on the DATE! But good that he showed his face right away, dont need to spend time on him.”
drakuhl noted: “Being late is a sign of disrespect. He saw the signs and got out while he still could.”
Clarification from the lady
Responding to comments, she explained that this was not their first meeting but their seventh date, insisting that they already knew each other well. She also pointed out that she was only four minutes away from the venue when the date was cancelled.
“It’s the 7th date… we basically know each other,” she added in defence.
