*if you're a male, you might not want to read this.


A guy that I like invited me to a pool party on Saturday. I declined because of girl reasons... I'm kicking myself now and afraid that he won't talk to me or want to hang out again because I declined. Makes me seem like I'm making excuses. I really like him but don't want to have to explain myself about why I can't go especially because we just started talking/hanging out.

Any advice? Is it too late to turn this around?

If he doesn't want to hang out with you again because you declined one invitation, he's not worth it.

One word; Tampon


If that's not an option, you can still go and just decline to swim or walk around naked.


I'm sure those are both acceptable choices to make?


If the party is a no no for you, stick with the decline, but try and set something up for next week instead.


That way he knows you're actually interested and not just blowing him off.


FWIW, I agree with the above statement also.

So you must have given him some excuse. Just keep with it and call him back to set something up on another day, no?

Tell him the truth. It takes a lot of guts. But it saves the time and pain.

I told him thank you for the invite but I will pass. And I'm interested in meeting with him next week.

I just hope and cross my fingers that he doesn't blow me off because I didn't want to go to this party. Of everyone I've met recently, he's the one person I have the most fun with and it's just easy to talk to him about anything. My anxiety has been flaring today. I can't stop thinking about it.

Not sure why a male would have to avoid reading this. Any guy worth your time would understand and be mature enough to accept your reasons for not going. Like others have said, if he blows you off that easily, then he's not the right guy for you anyway.

All men know that women suffer from mysterious and unfathomable ailments, fancies and upsets. Men just shrug and accept this reality. They don't want know the details (unless they are very creepy men indeed), being very squeamish, even if they are covered in thick dark hair and grunt instead of conversing.

Consider saying how sorry you were to miss the party and hope he had a good time. He will fall back on his instincts and know what to do.
