We get it, sometimes you just need to cancel that date. Maybe you thought you were feeling the person and you no longer are. Maybe you found a hotter more intriguing person to go out with instead. Or, like the guy I was once dating, maybe you just set dates and cancel them for entertainment because you’re a total douchebag.
Whatever your reason may be, the old excuses aren’t cutting it. No one believes your cat died.
