Excuses girls give to go out on a date

Let’s admit, we have all done that. In a household where a girl is strictly prohibited to step outside after 6:00 pm, how would she go out on a date with her boyfriend? Read what Indian girls say to their parents when they go out to meet her boyfriend (secretly!):

2/8

Thank god for group study!

What could be a better excuse than group study? No parent will ever stop their children from studying! Books become your best friend and your passport to come home late.

3/8

Birthday of a friend’s cousin who never existed before…

That friend’s cousin becomes the most important person of your life all of a sudden. Attending her birthday is the most important thing that you need to do.

4/8

Extra classes

This needs no explanation. If you are in a college, this sounds even more convincing.

5/8

Oh! That friend who is in a hospital

Never underestimate the importance of a sick friend, especially, when he or she is in a hospital. Poor parents, even they stand powerless in front of a grieving daughter who needs to attend to her ailing friend.

6/8

Working late hours

This, perhaps, is the most frequently used excuse. A hard-working daughter is the answer to every parent’s prayers. They would definitely allow her to stay late if work demands.

7/8

The long pending visit to the beauty salon

You never know how time flies when you are in a beauty parlour and surely your parents will understand if you take an hour or two more to reach home. This excuse is like killing two birds with one stone—it’s the best cover up for the post-date glow!

8/8

Run to the library!

There cannot be a better place to meet a guy in a library. And this does not even qualify to be an excuse. You are actually in a library when the date happened! (Images: Shutterstock)
