sns256 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 What are your thoughts on canceling a date due to being sick? I asked this girl out to a movie on Monday for tonight. On Tuesday I came down with some type of cold/flu where I have a very sore throat and can hardly speak, a stuffed up nose, last night I had a slight fever. As it turns out she phoned me on Tuesday asking me out for that night, but I couldn't do it because I was feeling like crap. I told her hopefully I should be feeling better by Thursday (today). Needless to say I am not feeling much better. I've been trying to find some combination of pills to make myself feel better without much luck. If I don't start feeling better tomorrow I am going to head to the doctors. I want to know if I should/ could cancel this date tonight? I don't really want to go into something like that feeling like garbage. I am not going to have a good time. Thankfully it is a movie, so I wouldn't have to talk very much, if I do go. This would be our second date, and she seems like a really cool person that I would like to get to know better. I just don't want to give the impression that I don't give a crap about her by canceling for a crappy reason. I would like to give her as much notice as possible. So let me know your opinion(s). Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catdancer Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I would call her and give her options. Just say hey, I"m still feeling really awful and I need to either postpone to (insert new day here) or you could come over, we can order a pizza and you can rub my feet while we watch a movie!"

HealingHandsWarmHeart Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 i would call her - not text- but call her and let her know you are sick... i would also set up a date for next week when you are better - but set firm plans for next week so she knows you aren't just blowing her off. i also say call not text so she can hear how stuffy you are ... i had to cancel a date when i was sick last week ... and i made sure i called him so he knew i was sick and not just blowing him off.

wildchild1 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I would say go anyway but you don't want to get her sick. Set up a date for another day you think you can actually make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
confused25 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I would call her to let her know that you still do not feel that well and that you should postpone the date. I don't think I would be pissed if I know someone is sick and lets me know ahead of time. I don't think you want to go on a date if you are not feeling well because I did that once and I was miserable the whole time and just wanted to go to bed!!

This seems like pretty sound advice, eh? And yeah - make sure and call and not text! Hope you feel better soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with this. Good idea!! Let her decide. This way if she chooses to be around you she cant complain when she sees you with bloodshot eyes and a runny nose.

BriarRose Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I would hope someone would cancel on me if they were sick! Just keep in touch with her to reschedule afterwards so she doesn't feel it was a blow-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep in touch with her to reschedule afterwards so she doesn't feel it was a blow-off. I was starting to feel really bad that I canceled on her this afternoon. I was starting to feel better. But at 7-8pm I was thanking my lucky stars that I did cancel. I wasn't feeling good whatsoever. She sounded disappointed but understanding on the phone. I really didn't want to get her sick. So we re-scheduled for Monday when I phoned her. I hope I am feeling better by then! lol Thanks everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
