Question:

When you ask someone to go out with you and they give an excuse llike they are taking meds but...?

when you find out that a person lied to you and just didn't want to go, it's confusing, why not just be upfront. Why are people afraid of the truth?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: People don't want to hurt other peoples' feelings, which is of course based on more unassertiveness with shy/upset people. In summary, people are stupid.
