How screwed am I?

Just tell her he got the ills and offer to still go. Pretty simple.

Don't go, don't text her.

Wait and see if she texts you, or if she mentions you weren't there

Don't lie, dude.

Just do what you said: you're going out with your friend to the bars.

Then do like she said: text her later tonight.

Not that tough.

Yeah i think if she texts me, i have an in.

If she doesn't i have the choice to make.

Thanks anons.

This is stupid. Don't do this.

Tell her your friend got sick and he can't out. Say you'd still like to go out but all your other friends have plans. Then she'll invite you to join her.

>>16556844
probably what i'll do.

And OP will go, be awkward, make a bad impression well he's ignored by girl for her friends, who pity-invited him. If OP had the social skills to do that, it'd be a great idea. It isn't, given the spaghetti out of pockets that's already been relayed to us.

If you don't text her, the following will happen:
>she texts to ask where you are
This shows interest. Now he should say whats up and then invite himself to come chill with girl

>she waits but doesn't text til the next day, asking where OP was
Also shows interest, OP can use this opportunity to say he'll see her this night instead, or make a new date (since OP obviously didn't have plans with this girl, just a casual 'o text me if you're there')

If she doesn't text at all, make new plans that actually directly involve her

Hey, are you still going out? My friend has laringytis and had to cancel. Would you like to meet up? I'll be at *insert place* at *insert time*

well, she did text first...

So i guess scenario A is in effect, lol.

I just need to make sure i'm cool and that i don't spill my spaghetti and that her friends like me.

She just came back and said.

"we'll probably jump around from bar to bar, i hate to make you follow us around."

>>16557082
ouch.

Just play it cool, brush it off like you're doing other shit anyway and ask her for a movie or something alone some other time

so op reporting here, initially i didn't play it cool, i said, eh, two drinks won't kill me. Then i read these comments, and i texted back before she texted me that i was falling asleep.

That's when she texted me back right away saying, "but we were just about to head out!"

So we texted back and forth for a while, usual banter while she was out. Then i walked to meet her. And it may not have been perfect but i think it went alright. She said you may be 29, but it's more attractive than these younger icky boys. So I'm feeling alright.

Thanks anons!
