On my way to lunch yesterday I received a call from Stella. She was sobbing and said she had just been in an accident, the car was damaged but not totaled, and that she was at home waiting for her friend to come pick her up and take her to the hospital. Stella said that she might still be able to make it to go out, but that she would have to wait and see what the doctors said.
If Stella was making all this up just to get out of our date I would have to give her a tremendous pat on the back because it would have been the most elaborate, well thought through excuse I have ever heard. In fact, it may be the best "get out of a date" story in the history of dating. Plus, she should strongly consider a career change to acting, her performance would have made Hepburn run back to drama school.
Stella called me later that night and said she felt badly, but that she simply didn't feel up for going out. She spent the whole day in the ER and was prescribed some muscle relaxers for whiplash. She did, however, ask if we could reschedule for Tuesday, her next day off, which obviously was fine with me.
More to come.

Hmmm. Smells like some BS. What are the odds?
ReplyDeleteWas your date scheduled for lunch? Otherwise I can't imagine she had the presence of mind, so soon after her accident, to call you and cancel/reschedule the date--especially a date that's supposed to occur hours or days later. And sobbing? Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteAlso, let me tell you, I've used some pretty elaborate, tear-jerking lies to get out of situations. And I've delivered them with such sincerity that you wouldn't believe I'm lying.
My initial reaction when reading what you wrote was something smells foul.
She just pulled a NO NUTS on your ass.
ReplyDeleteha!
I wouldn't ask Stella out again. If she's interested, she will initiate contact.
