Tactful Tardiness
Men's Health Charm School
LESSON #5
When the inevitable traffic jam or Pinoy time puts you behind schedule, bursting into a restaurant while looking disheveled will do little to calm your impatient lady-in-waiting. We'll assume you've rung your date's cellphone to warn her. Now dial the restaurant and order that mushroom appetizer you know she loves. Pause to compose yourself before entering, wipe a sweaty forehead and smooth a wrinkled collar. Explain that you planned poorly, and skip excuses. Sincerely and succinctly concede your tardiness and switch into your charming and comic mode your lateness will be forgotten after the first laugh.
