Have you been invited for a date that you don't want to go on? Or do you need to reschedule the date and you are not sure how the person will react? It is important to note that no one wishes to be stood up or to face a cancelled date.Here are two respectful ways to cancel a date.1. Send an apology
If you are willing to have the date at a rescheduled time, call the person and start with apologising. This makes the person know you are aware of the inconvenience you have caused and makes them know that you truly value their time. Acknowledge and accept responsibility for causing the inconvenience. Express interest in planning another date and keep them posted on when you will be available to meet them.
2. Make up an excuse
You can make up a good excuse especially if it is someone you are really not interested in. However, don't exaggerate the excuses. Make sure you are not too dramatic because this will make the excuse sound fake. Instead come up with simple ones such as work deadlines, pet problems, roommate troubles or urgent meeting.
