Now we’ve heard some pretty rubbish ‘cancel a date’ excuses in our time. People can really suck at it, can’t they? From the blantant ‘can’t be bothered’ to the ‘far too inventive to be true’ to the ‘don’t insult our intelligence’ fibs, do people think we’re that stupid? Sure, so they don’t want to hurt our feelings but purlease! Some of these excuse are far more painful, frankly!
Here’s our pick of top porkies told from around the dating world. Read ’em and weep with either despair or laughter!
1.’We were supposed to meet at a bar and he cancelled just before our date saying he was broke and could probably just about afford one drink. The fact he was a banker made it even more unbelievable…’
2. ‘He text’ed to say he had a ‘crazy foot fungus’ that was so bad he could barely walk…’
3. ‘I called him on his mobile to see where he was and he told me his mobile had been stolen! He then said the thief had returned it when I pointed out that his story was a little bit flawed…’
4. ‘He said too many gay guys were checking him out. It wasn’t even a gay bar but he suddenly said he wanted to leave as he felt uncomfortable. I quickly left before he could.’
5.‘He said he had a ‘brain-dead aunt’ and the family were gathering to take her off life support!’
6.”I’ve stabbed myself in the leg with a steak knife. Maybe next week?“
7.‘He said he couldn’t believe the jeans I wore to our first date, that he hated them so much he thought we’d have nothing in common.’
8. ‘She said she couldn’t meet me because it was raining. Yes. Raining.’
9.’He said his mate was really sick and in the hospital and he had to go see him. “Which hospital?” I asked – he hadn’t a clue.’
10.‘She said she was at a barbecue with friends and simply didn’t want to leave.’
11. ‘A girl told me her cat was really sick. I’m an animal lover so said I understood and called her later to ask after said cat. Her flat mate said she’d gone out on the tiles! Maybe with her cat?’
