Friday, baby!

Today, I tried inviting the girl I like out to dinner. She replied, "Sorry, I already have plans." I asked her what they were, and she said, "I don’t know yet, but I’ll think of something." FML

I mean, she's not obligated to tell you her plans. She tried to let you down easy and you got nosey.

I don't know how I feel about this one. Yeah she sounds rude for being so blunt, but you did kind of put her on the spot. If she says she has plans she was probably just trying to politely say no.

Hey on an upside, at least she was truthful so now you know she is not worth your time

"Not worth your time"... You make it sound like there's something wrong with her because she's not interested.

I read that as meaning: She is not interested so pressing the matter with her is a waste of OPs time and therefor not worth it.

That's optimistic and very well could be how it was meant. Usually isn't how that is meant, though.

If you ask a girl out then you might get rejected. Its rough, but get over it and quit whining about it on the internet

It probably depended on how you asked, did you ask friendly and interested in her life or almost accusing?

I don't see why people are making her out to be the bad guy. She's not obligated to tell OP her plans at all. Doesn't mean she's lying about having them. If you get rejected, you take the rejection.

100% agree! I had a guy force me to put his number in my phone once because he didn't care if I wasn't interested. Sometimes it's dangerous for a girl to reject a man whether they tell the truth or not. So I mean we will say pretty much anything we think will make you think we aren't outright saying no. Just not right now. and make you go away and then we will avoid you like the plague. Not all girls do this but if you've ever been in a situation that was scary, you'll say pretty much anything other than yes to get away free and clear.

I feel bad for you OP, being let down by someone you're into is never fun, but I also cannot stand it when I tell someone I have plans and they ask me what they are. If I wanted to tell you my plans, I would have done that.

I think this is one of those times when tone of voice and body language were crucial. Did she say, "I already have plans," in a firm, final tone and you said, "What are they?" in a somewhat accusatory manner? That happens all the time when girls try to be polite when rejecting someone. Like if you catch the white lie, she'll be forced to date you. But then, maybe you thought the question was an innocuous way to not stand there in awkward silence. It's hard to say FYL or YDI without the tone and body language that made up 90% of that conversation.
