Make a waiting agreement

Decide how long waiting is comfortable and what happens afterward.

Try this

Choose the waiting point and the time after which you will take the next action.
Make that action clear, such as going inside or returning home. Avoid leaving the other person to infer whether you are still waiting from message silence.

A worked example

“I’ll wait until quarter past, then go inside and meet you there.”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

Treat the stated plan as practical information, not a punishment for lateness.

This is a voluntary planning exercise. Keep your notes private, adapt the language, and leave any question unanswered. It does not require Ourling or a purchase.
