Maybe if you explain it and schedule another one she'll understand? That's happened to me before

That's what I would try to do. It's worth a shot, you won't be any worse off

Well you're fucked. Your life is over. Might as well get a few cats now and call it a day.

Attempt to explain what happened. If this person doesn't understand then move on to a different person. Keep your head up, OP

You couldn't clean your parents' house the day before?

you didn't read it did you?

I was talking about the day before "last night", which would also make sense because it wouldn't be nice to go on a date when you're tired from cleaning all night.

Maybe I'm dumb but I didn't get it either. Pulling an all-nighter for housecleaning? If foresight wasn't possible maybe ask for an advance?

aww! court her! save that money for your date. if she really likes you, she'll understand, and give you a second chance.

People tend to respond well to sincere apologies. Good luck!

aww.. thats actually pretty sad I'm sorry for u op ;-;

as long as yall arent in your 20s or older, she'll likely understand, and it'll probably get you some extra points with her.

Say sorry and that you'll make it up to them - she should give you another chance OP - be a sweet story to tell if you two end up married

If you apologized and explained that story to me I would think it was the sweetest thing that you worked extra hard to take me on a better date. If he/she doesn't see that or understand at the very least they are NOT worth it.
