| I need an excuse to get out of it....
Posted: 9/1/2008 4:36:35 PM | Okay this is what's going on....
Several weeks back I got a text by an exgirlfriend who invited me to be her date to go to wedding on the Sunday Sept 14. The wedding starts 4pm and I agreed to go, but there is one problem. I am football fan and a huge fan of the New England Patriots, so I never miss a game. The Patriots play the Jets at 4 pm, and it's going to be a GOOD game. I totally forgot about the game when I said "yes", so I need an excuse to get out of it.
Can somebody give me a good excuse to get out of it? Pleeeeese!!!! | |

Posted: 9/1/2008 4:40:10 PM | | Thats a tough one OP. I am a huge football fan myself. I had to go to a wedding one time on a Sunday during football season as well. During the reception I kept sneaking into the bar to watch the game on a tv they had in there lol. Do you have a cell phone that has the updated scores on it? | |

Posted: 9/1/2008 4:40:25 PM | | How about telling her the truth, like right now? At least she'd have time to find another date. C'mon dude, don't be a wuss and leave it until its too late. | |

No need to play head games...simply be honest!
She'll hopefully find someone else to go with her.

Posted: 9/1/2008 4:47:33 PM | ^^ what they said.
You forgot about the game. That's hardly an unpardonable sin. You don't need an excuse. Just tell her while she has time to find someone else. And if you feel you owe her one, offer a rain-check. These things happen. | |

Posted: 9/1/2008 4:52:17 PM | It's a stupid reason to back out on a promise. You can tape the game and stay away from audio visuals until you get home if knowing the score ruins it for you. You also should not have committed to the wedding without checking the football schedule if games are that important to you.
If you don't intend to stand by the commitment then I agree with the other posters, tell her the truth and offer to make it up to her but do it now, gives her some time to dig up another date. Better yet, find her a replacement. You helped her out by agreeing to go, now you want to BE the problem, offer a solution to it and again, tell the truth. It's the difference between being an ass and being an unmitigated one. | |

Geeze...no wonder your her "ex"!
Just be honest with her...it is probably not the first time you've let her down on something that is important to her.
Oh, yeah...enjoy the game.  | |

Posted: 9/1/2008 4:55:25 PM | How about calling her and telling her that she was right in dumping your lame a*ss and that she's better off without you because you have no sense of values and commitment and you would rather be childish and lie to her than be honest.
What a lame dork you are! | |

Posted: 9/1/2008 5:02:11 PM | What the hell are you worried about? Tell her there's a football game on and you'd rather do that than go to see some poor schmuck sign his life away.
She's an EX girlfriend, so why would you give a shit?
Reach down the front of your pants. There should be a bag dangling down between your legs with a couple firm, oval shaped, sensitive lumps in that sack. If there is nothing there, check your last girlfriend's purse, your balls may be in there at the bottom with the lint and Extra gum .
Sheesh.... | |

Since she is your ex why not just grow a pair and tell her the truth? She will feel validated that you are her ex...

Trying to weasel out of a date, is off topic to dating experiences.... how?
Well, you can be a total poon, and lie to her.
Or,
You can be a man about it, and be honest with her. | |

The plan is to tell her by Wednesday....
Do you have a cell phone that has the updated scores on it?
I don't, I wish I did, damn it!!!!
How about telling her the truth, like right now?
I've already told her about the game and admitted it to her if she was able to find somebody else that it was okay with it. She thought I was joking and said "You BETTER GO!!!" because I said was.
You forgot about the game. That's hardly an unpardonable sin.
I know....Forgive me Football Father for I have sinned. It has been several weeks since I said yes to go to a wedding and forgot about a football game. 
You also should not have committed to the wedding without checking the football schedule if games are that important to you.
You're right....I'm a goof ball. I've thought about recorded it, but it's not the same.
Oh, yeah...enjoy the game.
(I'll be rooting for whoever the Patriots play)
I will....Just don't bet your money on the other team.
is off topic to dating experiences.... how?
It would be a dating experience if I go....
Let me just add that she is actually dating other people. I don't know why she hasn't ask them. She always calls me with her guy problems, which is quite sad. I have giving everything to her when we were together, but I am completely over her, but then again I was never crazy about her. If you knew this girl you would actually help me out to get out of this. | |

+5 on that, Ive seen so many sports fanatics that absolutly have to be home all day on sunday watching the football games. or people who get violent with their wives because their fav team loses.
One person I know gambles on fantasy football constantly. he wont give his wife or kids the time of day on sundays.
I do watch football but im not a fanatic about it. I would like to think id be lucky to be out on a date or doing something with someone special. | |

Posted: 9/1/2008 5:27:03 PM | | Exactly Jamison.. ^5 .... It's about "maturity" - sadly so many men are so deluded and lacking when it comes to sports... everything/everyone else takes a back seat.. who needs it? | |
|
| I need an excuse to get out of it....
Posted: 9/1/2008 5:29:35 PM | You don't need an excuse ....if you tell her the truth. Why can't the excuse be the truth?
What's so horrible about prefering to watch a football game? The truth won't make you feel guilty for lying later.
I can't imagine a worse date than with someone who didn't really want to be with me and wanted to be somewhere else with someone else doing something else. | |

This is a joke thread, right? You really care more about pleasing your passion than keeping a promise? 
It's no freaking wonder you are her ex. You don't have the gonads to tell her the truth, in that maybe, you forgot about the game, and made a hasty choice in accepting.
Telling the truth is not an excuse, it's merely being honest and hoping for forgiveness. | |

Posted: 9/1/2008 5:30:27 PM | | Just tell her you had a previous commitment which you had forgotten about...which you did! You always go to Patriot games. So go! | |

Posted: 9/1/2008 5:30:30 PM | Some women love to paint their nails, their hair done, and get their mustache waxed....
And some men enjoy sports, whats the big deal?
People are skipping what I posted in msg 14....I have already told her the truth. And she knows my passion for the game, so she somewhat understands.
She just told me the guy she was dating sort of dumped her because she talks to too many guys. She even mentioned to me that she thought about asking him before she got dumped to go to the wedding after I told her the truth, which she thought I was joking. I am not a creep just to let people know. And there have been several occassions when we would make plans and she would call me with some type of excuse too....People she's an exgirlfriend....Sometimes an ex is meant to be and ex.... | |
