If i need for something deeply, I can wait ages!:) I hear this words time ago from one person who i respect very much. How much you can waiting something or somebody? Are you a person who can wait long time? Even in day by day life, you can waiting somebody who late a lot? Do you think that is polite to make somebody wait for you long time? I am one who are not so patient, and if i don t make somebody wait for me i want same respect. What about you?You like to wait or not?

My best friend is always late. I start telling her that we are going to meet one hour ahead of time to make sure that she is on time.... She is late not only with me but also with other friends, weddings, meetings...and on....hard to understand, because she is not working...

Hi there Ice Smile. I can't say that i "like" waiting in lines (for paying bills for example) or for persons that run late, but i have a good tolerance of this, so i don't get affected to easily. I usually try to be a punctual person, and in a 10-15 minutes + or - I manage to get to the meeting that i have with friends - like they said in high-school -"the academic quarter" - right ?

HI, waiting is not my type. I am a very patient person but if you ask me to wait for something, I can't. if it comes to love, then I could wait but while im waiting, sometimes it makes me tired of it and then forget about it. so I rather not to wait and get the answer or resolve as soon as I want.

i have been thought to buy time while waiting. in other words, do something useful while you wait. i hate waiting though. in the office, when i set an appointment with a client, i wait only for 30 minutes unless he/she informs otherwise that something is stalling him/her. i know of a friend here in myLot who waits ages. very admirable. so much patience but for me, there is always an exception to the rule. right?

I don t like to wait somebody or something to much.Is not to easy to wait, when you want really something. But if deserve to wait, i will wait. Is very rude to make people waiting for you, they will be tempted to go and let you down.

If I know exactly when something is going to happen I can wait any amount of time I need to, but when I don't know when it's going to happen, I have a really hard time waiting.

yes i can. i definitely can. my life is about waiting. My boyfriend works outside the country and with that i learn how to truthfully wait. it gets very sad at some point and lonely too. But all i need to do is keep my faith up and hang on. I always remember that i am doing this because this is what i want and i truly love the person.. and it never gets too hard whenever i remind myself of those things. I love waiting because whenever he is home, it feels so fulfilling, so happy, so real.. like its the reward of being true. Its the fruit of the long wait. Guess my waiting is happy because i know i am waiting for someone who knows where to come home to!

i'm willing to wait but it depends on the time i allot for someone. i also give considerations especially when they encounter important occurrences that can prolonged their time in meeting me. :)

There are certain things that I do not mind waiting for.. I try to be patient but there are some occasions I am in a hurry and waiting around just gets me frustrated.. Its one of those hurry up to wait games.. That is what I find most irrating.. I try to be on time or early when someone is going to pick me up... But sometimes I do not exactly have everything ready right away... So I try to give others the same patience that they give me..

I hate waiting either... But if the person is valuable for me to wait, I think I can. Even though waiting will make me upset or disappointed.

I think it's 2 seperate things, people & things... As far as people are concerned, I don't think it's not so much a patience issue but respect issue... I can understand emergencies can happen... I usually wait about 15 minutes for someone if we made a plan... My time is just as important to me as their time is to them... If they can't respect me enough to understand that & if they can't be trusted to be on time, I won't waste my time waiting for them... Second, as far as things or materials go, I understand the concept of "good things come to those who wait" but in my opinion, if you're willing to wait for something instead of going out & getting it yourself, then you probably deserve what you get... I know not everything in the world works out the way we want it to... But I'd rather try going out & getting it myself rather than sitting on my butt waiting around wishing something good will come to me... That includes situations & opportunities...

I don't have patience to wait for someone if they say they will be here at a certain time and they don't show up for hours later. I have patience if I want to buy something and I don't have the money right then and there I will wait till I have the money. I don't need to have it yesterday, like these young kids nowadays. For love I too can wait for the right person, time and place.

One of my goodfriends is always late so i have now got so used to her being late all the time i ask her to be at a certain place half an hour before she has to be there.This is the only way she may get there on time if i tell her to get there half an hour earlier.Some people are just always late but they do not like it one bit if you are late.It do not bother me having to wait as long as they get there safely.
