Dear Queenie,
I’m dating several men, nothing serious with any of them.
Queenie, my question is, what do I say when someone asks me for a date and I already have a date for that time?—Busy Bea
Dear Bea,
You do not have to (should not) go into details about why you are refusing the offer. Just say something along the lines of “Sorry, I have other plans for that night/day/whatever time,” without going into any detail.
If you want to keep him interested you can add, “How about (some other night/day/whatever time)?”
