When someone comes all the way from out of town, you owe that person an entire weekend, and not just 1 date.
But were you Parshaman in regular phone contact with this person before venturing out? As a general rule, if the date entails out of town travel, have several phone dates before budging anywhere.
Beleive it or not, most of their problems & issues do yes travel down the phone line, and cannot be hidden even over the phone line.
