Personally (assuming a one-on-one fight) I'd step back and call it a free evaluate. They can either eat the move-and-attack penalty or I can use my evaluate bonus to do something fancy that'd (hopefully) avoid their wait.
Or an AOO Long / Great Lunge to attack from out of their range.

Yup. I had a PC in an arena game and my opponent was Waiting rather than closing. I was pretty certain his Wait trigger was: the moment I step within range, Attack!
So I stayed just out of range, calmly stacked up a full evaluate bonus, and then used the Extra Effort that gives you one extra yard of range to attack then stepped back. My opponent then I started doing it again. And my opponent realized they would have to do something else, or I'd cut them up.
