Does your city have a discount bus line? My town has the A-line and the B-line, which both charge $5 to come to your house and get you, and take you wherever you want.

ACTUAL DIALOGUE!
You: Hey, so like. We should really get a car and stuff.
Guy: Yeah, totally.
You: Yep.
Guy: So when are we going to the mall?
You: That chick skipped out and went to LA.
Guy: What a bitch.
You: Totally, she is our only form of transportation, then she leaves us like we can take a bus or a subway or something.

Just tell him that you'd LOVE to see him, but, as unfortunate as it is, you simply do not have transportation. Of course he'll be hurt, but he'll understand that sometimes these things happen. It'll be crushing, I'm shore.. but it's not the end of the world, and you guys can set up new plans as soon as possible.. just make shore to let him know this. =] [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
EternalFolly answered Wednesday July 27 2005, 12:59 pm: Just be honest. Tell him you're sorry but you can't go today since your ride went to LA instead. Then suggest you go another time. I'm sure he'll understand that these things happen. [ EternalFolly's advice column | Ask EternalFolly A Question ]
