Is canceling plans with someone because of a headache a good excuse or a cop out?

It just depends if they seem interested in making another date maybe not. But it just depends just ask him when he thinks he can meet again and leave the ball in his court.

Sometimes shit happens though that’s not in our control. Though people who use cop outs are cowards. I’m not saying someone owes someone a long exclamation but just…. Break it off and don’t waste someone’s time. Be clear be direct do r be a dick either but give someone closure

Depends on the plans and the someone


If my good buddy wants to go eat a chicken sandwich and Im battling a migraine I will turn him down
Because A: he’ll be fine going on his own
And B: I would make for a shitty conversationalist while Im in pain


But if we had plans to go see a sporting event and had been waiting for ages for it. I would pop a paracetamol and power through it.

yeah, just say you have a shitty headache and don't wanna kill the vibe while hanging out bc of it

NOW if you wanna actually meet up, then take the initiative to reschedule and pick a day/time. like show you care

Seriously? Thing how you would feel if someone told you, "I have a headache" and left you hanging after you'd been anticipating a date or activity all day/week/month? Come on...

it an excuse that is as old as the hills, so don't be surprised if someone is a bit skeptial about it even if it is legit.
Losing a leg or an arm is more believable.

It is a bit of a cop out. But if you do it once it's probably acceptable. I'd let it slide.
