It is ridiculous that in this day and age of texting being our primary mode of communication that people still stand up their dates. There is literally no excuse to not show up to plans. If you don't want to go on a date, just come up with an excuse and don't go; you don't even need to lie to their voice, let alone their face. Here are 10 easy ways to avoid being a dick:
1. Say something came up at work and cancel ahead of time.
2. Say something came up with your family and cancel ahead of time.
3. Say something came up with your best friend and cancel ahead of time.
4. Say something came up with your apartment and cancel ahead of time.
5. Say something came up with your cat and cancel ahead of time. You don't even have to actually own a cat for this to work.
6. Say something came up with your health and cancel ahead of time.
7. Say something came up with your car and cancel ahead of time.
8. Say something came up with your cable and cancel ahead of time.
9. Say something came up with a sudden out-of-town guest and cancel ahead of time.
10. Find literally any way to tell the person you're not coming, rather than just bailing.
