You should have no hesitation in using that combination. I'd definitely use the first. On the the other hand, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the set-up you gave at the beginning of your post. If I were taking up two spots and someone told me to move over, I might say, "I'm saving a space for a friend. He's not here yet."

But isn't it bad use present tense with 'yet' ? 1. Does it look like he is here yet? 2. Has it looked like he is here yet? Thanks.
