デボンさん
とても男っぽいですよね！
So here is a situation, if your girlfriend or boyfriend is coming late and still not here, and you guys don’t have mobile phone. How long could you wait for there??? 
30分、限界です！

そう思いますね！こんな話のタイプは本当に難しい！ゆっくりのtrackしかわからない。Slang is very hard and men speakers are even harder to understand!
I would wait…. well, depending if I had heard from them or not I would wait about 30 minutes.
