How To Cancel A Date At Short Notice

Relationships : Where To Go On A Date

It can be very awkward when you need to cancel a date at the last minute, for instance if you really have to stay late at work or if you simply have changed your mind about things.

The key is this: speed is of the essence!

That means as soon as you know you can't make it for any reason, let them know asap - the more you dither and leave it, the harder it gets to perform the cancellation.

Of course you will need your excuse, so when you call if the reason is genuine be honest and you won't feel bad or get caught out.

If you have to make up an excuse, then make sure it is not one that can easily be checked out - for instance if you say you remembered you have to go around your friends house for some reason and they know your friend, they can check up on you!

It can help to soften the blow to suggest another date instead.
