Suggestions for made up excuses for cancelling plans???

Question

I know this is a shady question, and a lot of people are just going to tell me to be honest and not make excuses... and I know that! But trust me its so complicated of a situation that making a made up excuse is SO much better for everyone. I have old roommates who are moving to a different location and for the past TWO MONTHS have been trying to get together with me. Actually, I've been trying to get together with them, but they can't ever make the date I set. So, tonight (friday) they want to get together. But I REALLY don't want to go tonight. The reason is... they're all single and they LOVE to go to bars and mingle/flirt with guys. So, since its friday thats what they're going to want to do. I have a boyfriend of four years and I don't do that for obvious reasons. When I've gone before with them to do this, it SUCKS! I'm left alone in an awkward situation feeling stupid while they're off flirting, and then I always feel like I'm doing something wrong. Thats why I've been trying to make the plans, and I've make them on like weekdays to just go to dinner. This way I figure I can avoid confrontation and the possibilty of causing bad feelings between us, I can still see them, and it can be on good terms. But they cancelled, cancelled, and cancelled for the past two months, and now its like they're last weekend and they DEFINITLY want to get together tonight, but I'm NOT going to the bars with them, I just don't want to. Any suggestions on last minute excuses? Can you see why I don't want to be honest? Its the last few days before they'll leave, I don't want to cause friction or anything, I just want to avoid the situation and leave our acquintances on good terms. Anything would help! Thanks!

By the way, its not even that big of a deal that we see each other, we just all feel like we should. And the "not feeling good" excuse is so fake and overdone...

Answer 1

just txt them and say u will meet them at such and such  and say half hour after u were meant to meet txt them again and say while u r on your way..something urgent  come up. (they dont need to know)and if they do ask say a friend called u in tears..and u had to turn around and go back. That way it will look like u made the attempt..and u get out of it ..LOL dont worry about it  its not shady  ..U wouldnt be feeling like this if  people were  more considerate of other people  so stuff em..LOL they shouldnt have put u in this situation in the first place.  

Answer 2

Just tell them you are sick.  Say you think you have food poisoning because you have been throwing up and have bad stomach cramps.

Answer 3

Just tell them you'll meet them there, and don't show up. If they always ditch you, they wont notice you didn't show. And if for some weird reason they do notice, just don't answer your phone. then the next day, call and say you went, couldn't find them and went home.
