Posted: 9/2/2008 11:24:16 AM | It's not about the girl being an ex. It's about the fact he made a committment. It wouldnt matter who it was........When you commit to something you should follow through. It speaks to your integrity.
There are going to be many times in your life where what one percieves as a better offer will come along. I think ones integrity and honor speakes volumes as to who they are, In business and personal relationships.
HMMMM Maybe thats why we have so many coming on here wondering why he/she didnt show up for a date. Why after 3 or 4 months communcation stops. Why divorce is so rampant. Just saying!!!!!!!!!!
PEACE | |

Call the girl, NOW. Tell her the truth. She'll look back on it years from now with gratitude that you showed your true colors early on. | |

I agree with this statement, pretty moon.
OP, the mature and honest thing to do, would be to tell her the truth. Tell her asap and let her know if she can't find someone else to go with, then you will honor your commitment. If she finds someone else, you're off the hook. JMO.

I understand your point. But sometimes there are situations when you agree to do something. Then after thinking about it some more or finding out some new information, you decided that you are no longer interested. That happens in business and personal matters. It's not necessary a bad thing depending on the circumstances and how the situation was handled. | |

I am a Boston girl, born and raised but hate the pats.. hope they bite it - mainly because their fans are idiots
I know this is out of topic. But I wanted to respond to this. Let's not stereotype all Pats fans. Every team has some fans that are idiots and obnoxious. Besides the crowds at Pats home games are much less rowdy now than they were in the 1970s and 1980s. | |

Posted: 9/2/2008 1:21:32 PM | ^^^A gal after my own heart. I'm an Eagles and Phillies fan, but hate it when everyone tars the lot of us with the "Philly fans threw snowballs at Santa" BS brush. Isn't it time to let it go, 40 years after it happened!?
Have to agree with the people who pointed out that her being an ex GF makes no difference here; if he didn't want to go with her he should have said no when she asked, no harm no foul. But to bail out now, and with a weak excuse to boot, makes him something less than a gentleman. | |

Posted: 9/2/2008 1:28:01 PM | This is the opportunity to END the relationship with your ex now and forever.
Just call her back and tell her you were not joking. That you are bailing on the wedding because of the football game. Then hang up.
I really doubt she will every call you and ask you to do anything EVER again.
No woman wants to be second in line to something on TV. | |

So far I got a lot of people just wanting me to tell the truth, so it might just lead that way. I was hoping somebody would come up with a good lie, but I guess honesty is the best policy....
While I know where I am going to be on Sunday the 14th Watching the game.  As far as you are concerned, you would be at the wedding if you had any honor at all. Sorry, but you have been given the advice to tape the bloody game. Sure not quite the same you won't be able to yell and drink beer with your friends. So you miss one game, big deal. I bet you remember the game schedule better the next time around.
I think you should have some deceny and honor do what is right you overbooked yourself ,we all do that at times. Now the mature and honorable people usually suck it up and do what is right. Go to the damned wedding and yes there are some of us that would not be pulled to a wedding if our lives depended on it.
I personally smell a rat here and you have a better offer somewhere and you want that instead.
I also am starting to see why you are the EX and not the current.
As far as someone made the crack about being a die hard sports fan can kill a relationship well, my guy hates sports except for soccor I am a die hard NFL fan and I don't miss a game he respects that we work around it. Everything can be worked out if the word compromise is used.
As far as how big your testes are don't really care either way.. But consider this a chance for some persoanal growth and do the right thing. | |

Posted: 9/2/2008 2:19:46 PM | You could always be different and tell her the truth !
Why do you have to make an excuse when the truth would be fine ?
If I were you I would forget the football and go with the ex girlfriend.
You never know what might happen......... | |

Posted: 9/2/2008 3:55:30 PM | | Tell her the truth. She's your ex girlfriend and you shouldn't feel obliged to go. At least you'll have given her enough time to find someone else to go with. | |

Can somebody give me a good excuse to get out of it? Pleeeeese!!!!
Tell her you value sports wayyyyyy ahead of her and let the chips fall where they may. Coming up with an excuse is just the cowardly. Let her know where she stands in the grand scheme of things so she can take whatever action she feels appropriate. | |

Posted: 9/2/2008 4:56:48 PM | I did it!!!! I told her the truth.
I am somewhat out of it, but if she can't find a date I'm still stuck....I think she'll find date real quick....I hope. | |

Posted: 9/2/2008 5:20:25 PM | | Hey .. I totally understand .. just tell her the truth. You were doing her a favor but I bet the ladies on here are going to give u alot of grief. | |

Posted: 9/2/2008 5:22:43 PM | Hey, wizard...NO, I haven't lied, because I have to answer to someone higher than your gf. Obviously, though, you have, and it just gets easier and easier to do! I do hope you can explain it when you get to heaven...um, or wherever you're going. 
And, you're right...I am going straight to heaven, because I have been soooo honest with everybody in my life. That explains why you're her EX! I would have run too!  | |

Posted: 9/2/2008 5:29:12 PM | I just got the text...."Your are off the hook".
I told her the truth people and I'm guessing I'm still a creep....I can't win....She was actually okay with it, so no feelings were hurt. I feel good and at eased. | |

Posted: 9/2/2008 7:23:32 PM | | The truth...no need to lie. The lie is what hurts a friendship, the cancellation is merely disappointment. Man up. A gentleman would give her time to locate another escort. | |
