Today, I asked a girl I liked what she was doing tomorrow night. She replied, "Cleaning, so nothing really." I then asked her out to dinner. She declined. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I asked out a girl I like to a movie. She said "I hate babysitting." FML
Today, I asked the girl I'm madly in love with out to dinner. When she asked me if I would pay, I jokingly said, "Well, that depends on how the date goes." She looked me up and down and said, "No thanks then." FML
Today, I asked the girl I like if she wanted to go to the movies, she said yes and I said I'd let her pick the movie. She picked the movie, "Just Friends". FML
Today, I asked a girl what time she'd like me to pick her up for our date tonight. She didn't know what I was talking about. It seems like, after months of sweaty palms, nervous smiles, and awkward sentences, I only dreamed she said yes to going out. FML
Today, I farted while asking a girl out to dinner. FML
Today, I asked out the girl I really like. She turned me down, saying that she's a lesbian. That'd be fine, if I were a guy. FML
Today, I went out with a girl I've been dating. I dropped her off and she finally asked me if I wanted to come in. When I did, she asked me to change a light bulb in her kitchen, and then promptly sent me home. FML
Today, I was stood up on a date. Her excuse? "I had to work out." FML
Today, I finally mustered up the guts to ask this girl I like to dinner and a movie. She agreed on the terms that she could bring someone, and I'd said it wouldn't be a problem. When I met up with her a few hours later, I found out she'd brought her boyfriend. FML
Today, I asked a girl out. She sent me a whole list of reasons that she hated me. FML

Free time doesn't automatically mean you've got a date. There's that whole attraction thing. That's what's tripping you up.

Just because she's not busy tomorrow doesn't mean she is attracted to you OP....

you can't expect her to waste time on a boring and awkward date, when her home stays a mess all that time, can you?

she had to clean. ask her another time

Her answer the the first question should have clued you in that she was not interested in you

To the contrary, her first response ("Cleaning, so nothing really"), indicates that she has no other urgent plans and may be available for a date. Had she said, "I've got to grocery shop, prepare 3 dishes, and clean house for my company that is arriving in two days", the OP would have been given a clear signal that she definitely wouldn't be available for a date that night.

Not really, because if she was interested in him, she would not have mentioned "cleaning" at all, and would have stated nothing. No woman I have ever asked out stated an answer like that unless they were not interested. Granted it may not be the same everywhere for everyone, just every time I got an answer like that(quite a few times), its always been stated in ways like that

I disagree, Mike. Women don't want to say that they have no plans at all -- it makes them sound desperate. Instead, they "hedge their bets" and give a response that indicates they could have plans, but nothing firm. That way, if the guy proceeds to ask them out, they can go either way with their response depending on their at-the-moment gut reaction.

You didn't know what's going on for her. For all you know she's on her period and feeling like shit and just wants to curl up with a hot water bottle, but she isn't going to tell you that. If you are interested I'd ask her again. If she says "no" I'd say "Ok. Is that 'no, not ever' or 'no, not this time but you can ask again"?

Jewelofagal that may be true, just not for me(like I stated above) HomeAl0ne to me, a no means no. I wouldn't ask those questions because then you look desperate really. But honestly, he was told no, he should just move on and try to find someone else

But you have to consider that she might not have known that he was going to ask for a date. I think there's a pretty high chance that they're friends or at least somewhat know each other, and maybe she thought he wanted to hang out. OP, I wouldn't worry about it. It sounds like she was polite and didn't humiliate you, and there could be a million reasons for why she turned you down.

Maybe she really is busy? If I'm busy, I'll usually tell people "I'm cleaning" because it's easier than saying "I'm cleaning, wrapping Christmas presents, going grocery shopping, etc etc.. " Of course, I have a boyfriend, so I'll usually see if he's busy and try to enlist some help. :P

It never hurts to ask, what's the worst that can happen... so you were declined, it could have gone either way. Well done for putting yourself out there and remember it's not you're loss but theirs. YDI for you're emotional instability :P
