OK, please don't laugh at me, but I'm currently in the following situation: on the last two weekends, I had planned to meet a really nice girl (that I've learnt to know via the Internet) on a blind date, but in both cases, we missed each other: the first time, I was a bit late, and she wasn't there, and last time, I was there on time (we even negotiated a distinctive mark, the sign saying "going out is silly" was my idea ;-), but she didn't appear (although she said that she was there, but only
a little bit late, whatever). The problem is: both of us actually want this date. So: does anybody of my readers know a reliable way to make the next "hand-shake" (to use an analogy from the IT world
happen more likely? One constraint: no other communication channels (i.e. no exchange of phone numbers). Probably, simply setting the time-out to a higher value would solve the problem, but who knows...
