Waiting without complaint for a girl (8)
I believe the answer is:
patience
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'waiting without complaint' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a girl' is the second definition.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for patience that I've seen before include "Game, tolerance of delay" , "Card game played by one person" , "Card came for one" , "likely to be lost by the hot-tempered" , "Game; forbearance" .)
