Ouch! You might have to come clean now...lol...it's always easier to propose a new date than to straight up cancel.
I've blown off girls for boxing a countless number of times...shit, it wasn't until my I met my wife that I realized the two (boxing and dates) could co-exist. A couple of years ago, the models at work were having a Christmas party the same night as Mayweather-Hatton. Fuck me if I'm gonna miss that fight! So I tell my wife that we have a great Christmas party to go to...but first, we get to watch Mayweather/Hatton! She dresses to the nines, and I take her to the dirtbag bar to watch the fight. After the "check-hook", we hit the road.
I'm hauling ass cause the fight card lasted longer than I expected. Well, less than a few miles from the party I get pulled over by a cop. Now, this would suck under normal circumstances, but this time was even worse! I mentioned the long fight card, because I'd been drinking pitcher after pitcher since we got there! Of course the cop asks me how much I had to drink and proceeds to DUI check me. I was fucked up, and I knew it. Luckily my wife was looking really good...she had on a nice dress, and was obviously getting taken on a date. I explained my situation to him saying..."I promised her that I'd take her to this CHristmas party if we went to watch the fight first...blah blah blah" Well the cop let me go with a speeding ticket, and told me to get her to the party. lol
WHEW! Dodged a bullet! I thought that the night was saved...until we got to the party and people were leaving! The fucking party was OVER!

Anyway, I feel ya brother...it took my wife a make-up date to get over that one!

It's always better to be straight up with them in these situations. Shit, it's not like boxing is gonna go away from your life, so she might as well get used to it from the start.
