For Standing Up....

Reasons Dates Have Given For Standing Someone Up ::

I showed up early and decided I just didn't feel like going out after all, so I went home before you arrived.

My dog died.

My neighbor's bird died, and I had to console my neighbor.

I figured that probably wasn't your real picture, so I didn't bother coming over.

I overslept.

I took the wrong freeway exit and got lost, and after 40 minutes, I gave up, turned around, and went home.

I know I said I'd be at home at 8:00 P.M., but I went out to a movie at 6:00 P.M. and had such a good time out after meeting some friends at the movie that I forgot all about our date and went out to dinner with them.

I had the address, but forgot which city you lived in.

Yesterday was the last day of my vacation, so I went two-stepping and ran into my ex there, and we fell in love again during a slow dance, so I can't date you any more, but I'd still like us to be friends.

My roommate overdosed and I had to take him to the emergency room.

• A guy noticed that his buddy was troubled and asked what was wrong.
  "Ohhh, it's my girlfriend."
  "Oh yeah? What's the problem?"
  "When I asked her if she could learn to love me," he said, "she asked me how much I was willing to spend on her education."
