Dating is awesome, but at times you just don’t want to go on date with your partner. Maybe you’re feeling lazy and just don’t feel like it, or perhaps you’re the kind of person who just likes to postpone plans. Well, no one is blaming you for anything—we totally get it! While the smart ones of the lot never run out of reasons to cancel out on a date, the rest of us always struggle to find a good enough excuse to say “not today!”
For all of you folks who want to bail out of that date but don’t know how–we’ve got help! Here are legitimate reasons you can give to cancel on him because you’re not in the mood. You can thank us later!
1. “I have a cold and I don’t want you to get it too”.
This will show just how much you care about him, and of course he won’t force you to go out when you are unwell. Problem, solved!
2. “I have a really important presentation tomorrow that’s popped up at the last moment. I won’t be able to get out anytime soon!”
Work above everything else, ladies! Any excuse related to your work and career is sure to work. We bet!
3. “My cousin just broke up with her boyfriend. She needs me right now… ”
Of course, family comes first. Surely, he’ll understand the pain and distress of a breakup, and will himself tell you to postpone the date after listening to this excuse.
4. “My roommate/friend is unwell, I need to take her to the doctor. She doesn’t have family around!”
Yikes! That sounds serious. There’s no way he’ll object to this or ask you to step out on a date.
5. “I’m extremely sorry but I am not having the best day. Can we go out another time, please?”
So you are cancelling a plan but also letting the person know that you’re okay with going out on some other day.
6. “Where are we going? Oh! That place? But I already planned a date for us next week there… I wanted to surprise you!”
Surprise? Or just an excuse because you are too lazy to dress up and step out? Instead, you wish to curl up in your bed all day long and do nothing!
7. “I think we should take it a bit slow. Please don’t misunderstand. I hope you are getting me?”
This one might be a little tricky, but you need to sound convincing and not make the person feel that you aren’t interested anymore. Instead, try to explain why you feel this way.
