Today, I went on a date with an extremely cute girl. About 30 minutes in, she excused herself to the restroom. I waited for about 20 minutes, then I got up and left. About 10 minutes later, she called asking where I was. FML

Kewl_Kat tells us more.

UPDATE: We cleared it up, and are currently planning a second date. Turns out she wasn't feeling well. It all ended up working out c:

Should have texted or asked a female waitress to check on her, or waited if she was worth your time, she could have been seeing that for herself, maybe she had to make a phone call to a family member or has some issues she had to take care of, sorry op YDI

Whats the problem? Run back to her as soon as possible, smile, be honest and tell her the truth. Then go and grab a few drinks with her. I think its a funny story.

That's what happens when you've watched HIMYM, you start thinking your date pulled a Barney Stinson on you and left through the bathroom window if she doesn't show up after 5-10 minutes. xD

women take a long time in the bathroom with make up and stuff.

Haha #51 I just spit soda on my phone reading your comment, so thanks for that.

You did the right move, just passively waiting for 30 minutes would have signaled desperation, which could have been a turn-off for her. She calling you back validates that she liked the way you handled her "fitness test".

I'm a girl and I don't understand why anyone would take so long and be so inconsiderate. Perhaps she took a long dump and then completely redid her make-up AND texted a few friends to tell them how the date was going?

She could have stomach problems. When mine flares up, it can put me in the bathroom, with excruciating pain, for up to 30+ minutes. However, I've always warned dates that I have these problems and not to worry. My now-fiancé worries about me still lol. Anyway, of that were her case, she could have warned him. Or, she may have been too embarrassed. I mean sure, it's embarrassing but I'd rather them know what's up than leave them in wonder like OP.

I also have stomach problems that sometimes flare up and I'm too self conscious to even talk about it to my BF, who has the same condition. However, if I were OP's date and had such problems, I would have done pretty much anything to avoid a flare during the dinner or I would at least have texted explaining there was a long waiting line or something like that.

I think you were totally in the right! (which I seldom say on this site, lol) 30 minutes is just crazy to be in the bathroom on a date. Kinda thinkin' she left then tried to turn it around on you.

Maybe her nerves got to her and she couldn't help how long she took. Some people are unfortunate that way

Maybe she went to go get condoms, and got stuck in trafic?

Must've looked like you... *puts on sunglasses*... dumped her
