I think I may be over thinking this. My new gf and I have been seeing each other for almost two months. Her interest level was so high on our first date she wanted us to take our profiles down, etc. She was on time, etc. when we were dating early on, save for having trouble finding parking once.

We have plans this weekend. We were sexting Wednesday, she was turning it into hot and heavy conversation, etc. She called me later that night, we had a good fun filled talk. Then last night she called me again and said she had an emergency business meeting at 4 and she would probably be 30 to 60 minutes late for coming over to my place.

She was about 15 minutes late to our last date (coming over to my place) as well due to being out hiking longer than she expected, but she called then too to let me know.

Now that we are in a relationship the dynamic is a bit different IMO. It's not like she's late on early on dates, just shows up late without notice, etc. She calls to let me know well in advance, tells me what is going on, etc. She does have a legitimately busy schedule, in fact, one topic she asked me about Wednesday was a new project and whether she should go through with it because of the time commitment involved, and I told her I didn't think so because she will be even more buried with less time for us. She liked that I said that a lot, I could tell. She always tells me she is confused by me because she can't tell if I'm really serious about her.

In any case, I've never gotten upset, yelled or anything needy when she called to say she would be late. I was just like, "OK". Right way to handle it? I'm not displaying needy behavior by getting upset. It's not like she shows up late unannounced. It's not like we're just dating. It's not like I'm waiting at a venue, it's her coming over to my place, so I have stuff I can keep busy with while waiting.

That said, I wanted to take her to this one restaurant this weekend, but now I wonder if I should take her to a lesser restaurant under the guise that the other one I told her about is now too busy for that time...

You're seeing ghosts. Everything's fine with you two.

Just keep playing it cool, like you are.

Take a deep breath.

Nothing to worry about.

This. OP you need to stay calm, cool and collected. Be emotionally unphased.
You are leading, she is following. Even if she is a little behind while she follows.
