I didn't say that. All I am saying is you are posting all these threads because you want to find a girlfriend and people are offering you advice yet you keep asking the same thing.

There are legit reasons, sure. Did your girl cancel or do you want to?

No I just wanted to know has anyone ever heard another bullsh*T excuse as to why they couldn't make it. So that way in the future, if someone hears that someone is sick or their friends are visting from out of town they will know it's a lie

Has these been the more frequent excuses? I know a lot of people like to use family because they know that most people won't question that excuse.

Has anyone heard any other excuse than the ones above?
Are you talking about canceling under false pretenses? I have never canceled a date with a phony excuse because I have never needed to. I never made a date that I was not sure of - where I was unsure if I wanted to meet the person or not. If was unsure, I wouldn't have made the date in the first place.

What if it's not a lie, Champ?

Well not everyone does that. It would be nice if they did

I'm talking about if a person gets a better option. You have a date scheduled and then something better comes along forcing you to make a phony excuse

First it was about her and her not wanting to talk to you and now you've twisted your little mind over 'getting a better option.' Anyone else would be a better option - seek some professional help.

Those sound like legitimate excuses, after all they're not like:
"My Parole Officer says I can't hang out with you".

"I ran out of Valtrex last week".

"My attorney arranged for me to turn myself in then".

"I scheduled my surgery for Friday night. I hope you like the "new and different" me because we'll have a lot more parts in common afterwards".

"My friends from the planet Zordack are taking me along on their vacation".

"My astrologer says you're bad juju.

"I talked to my mother and she's still mad at you for breaking up with her".

"I just found out we're cousins".

"My husband came home early from his trip".

"We can't go to_________because that's where my cop boyfriend works".


Ok, the last two happened when I was much, much younger and much less wise.

A Family excuse will always sound legitimate which is why it's often used.
