The girl/boy you went out on a date with, after you took her/him home, asks you if you want to come up 'for a coffee' but you are not interested. What is your excuse?

Of course most Jellies are very assertive and right to the point, and would answer something like “Look, I had a pretty nice evening with you, but I am sorry, I don’t think it would work out, the two of us.”
So, imagine you aren’t that assertive, more so, you are quite shy and not very direct.
What would be your lame, a bit cowardly maybe even, yet funny for the sake of the question excuse to not come for coffee?

‘I have to wash my hair,’ of course.
You can say: Thanks nice to meet you but I have to go sorry.
“I have to get home to play online Myth II: Soulblighter with some old gaming friends.”
I have an early morning and have to get going…… personally I would just tell it like it is but if that don’t work then I would go with that response.
I think the best to be honest, though it is not nice but you don’t confuse people. Just say politely that it was nice meeting you but I don’t think it is good idea for me to come up.
It depends on how the date went. Usually it’s just, “Uhhhhh…” (checks wrist even though not wearing a watch) “It’s getting late. Bye.” But once on a really bad date that wouldn’t end I said I had cramps.
I’ve always wanted to bust out some non-sensical excuse like “I’d love to, but I have to rearrange my sock drawer” or something like that.
Now I’m remembering that scene from Seinfeld where they’re like, “coffee is never just coffee! Coffee is sex!”
@Londongirl Yup, that would be best, I agree.
The question though is to imagine that you cannot be that honest and you have to come up with a lame excuse.
Sorry. I am just not that into you.
I would probably say something that I knew would seriously scare of the guy if I really didn’t like him. I might say, “Sorry, I have a big Magic tournament in the morning and I have to run some drafting simulations with my team tonight.” Or, I might say, “Oh, sorry, but I’m meeting with a seamstress in the morning to go over the details for my costume for the Star Trek convention in Vegas.” Then I would start chatting animatedly about the Trek actors who were going to be there and who I’d already met and who I can’t wait to meet. :-P
In all seriousness, though, if I really liked the person but didn’t want to go up to their apartment or house to have sex, I would probably just say that I wanted to get to know them a little better before we had sex and then give them another date and time to hang out so they wouldn’t think I was just brushing them off nicely.
Honestly, I’ve never been in this situation. I might actually just choke and start sweating profusely.
I have explosive diarrhea.
The mothership is touching in down in 0100 hours and I have to be ready for tagging, otherwise, I would love to… maybe next time. dart for the nearest exit
I have to go home and lick my cat. She can’t do it herself, ya see…
I simply can’t, The Nanny is coming on Nick at Night in 10 minutes and I don’t have a DVR, plus I have to get home and change into my outfit (the last part is made up, I don’t really don’t have an outfit, although I’d like to, but the first part is the God’s honest truth!)
Sorry my herpes is flaring up.
Herpes flare-up.
dammit, A.
@Jude I’m flunkering for the first time ever, so watch out.
I hear my smoke alarm going off.
I’m sorry I have a duel at midnight. I’d take the coffee offer up but I don’t want my hands to shake, I’m sure you understand.
Say… Would you like to be my second? I think I still need a second, hold on I need to go make a call, are you interested though? Because you can if you want to I think…
I’d better not, the last time I drank coffee at night, I whizzed like a racehorse right in the middle of my Mother In law’s living room. Unless, of course you have some of that Resolve carpet cleaner and then maybe I could re-consider. Heh heh : )
- I suffer from premature ejaculation.
- It’s ok, I have desensitizing cream.
- I disappointed you 20 minutes ago, you just did not notice. Night.
You’re stepping on my hemorrhoid.
I have to go clean my andirons.
Want to see a picture of my tonsil stone?
Sorry – I’m just not into you.
@zen: At which point she’d respond, “I know, I invited you upstairs to fix that.”
“Ahh, yes….you see it’s like this, coffee brings me out in a rash & anyway, mummy says I have to be in by ten. She does like to tuck me in & read a few lines of Brer Rabbit before I go to sleep…...byeeeee!!”
@rebbel Sure, but my point is to not confuse people by being honest. No need for lame excuse, a polite yet honest answer is the best.
@KatawaGrey Yeah, in a movie. In real life she’d slap, cry, run, curse… pick one.
No thanks, I don’t drink coffee.
