Barnaby,
i’m snowed in and i’m supposed to be going on a date tonight. Ok, when I say snowed in… I mean it’s cold and I can’t be bothered to get out of my totes toasties to see a boy who I don’t even think I fancy.
How can I let him down gently?
Yours,
brrrrrr.
Hey brrrrr,
There really is no way to let someone down gently with just a few hours to go until date o’clock. This is why I like to go for an extreme lie, as opposed to just your run-of-the-mill bullshit excuse. Stuff i’ve used before…
a) the dog ate my homework
b) my chlamydia has flaired up again
c) i have an anal fisssure that’s causing me immeasurable discomfort
I find that if you come out with something ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous you find out that person’s true colours. If they find it funny, they’re worth seeing another time. If they whinge and complain like they’re from Needsville, I delete their number.
Simple and effective.
Cheers,
barnaby
