We have allheard them and used them. What are the funniest, lamest, weirdest or even sadest excuses you have used or heard for canceling a date?


Here are a few I know of


"My goldfish died."

"football season started"

"My wife is back"

"I have gained 5lbs and can't let you see me this way."

"I'm pregnant"

How about, "I don't really like you that way."


I don't know, I thought it was a pretty lame excuse...

Alexsmom...


What a great topic. I was hoping someone would bring something like this up even though I really don't have an amusing anecdote to add to it!!

'I will be onmy honeymoon then, how about when I get back' ... Granted, she didn't state it that way flat out, but when she goes to Hawaii for a week, and is married when she gets back, I can catch the hint at that point.


'I had a migraine, so I couldn't meet you at the pre-arranged time/place, nor could I call or answer my phone'


'I was feeling under the weather' ... Sent by text 10 minutes after I got there, after driving an hour, after I had confirmed the meet up two hours earlier.


'My family came to visit (from a different state), so I didn't go/call' ... Same person as above, that being when I modified the two strike rule to become a one strike rule.


'Baseball season started'


I can't think of any others off the top of my head, may have more to add later
