Can a Girl Get a Date?

Why is it when you send your RSVP with a +1 that it's so hard to find a date? I mean it's easy to find them when there is no reservation required. But for some reason, once you commit to bringing someone other than yourself, that other is nowhere to be found.

It could be me, but like I said, there are plenty of people to hang out with on all these other occasions. It could be the event, but I don't even get that far into the explanation before I'm denied. It could be the timing, October does seem to be a busy month. It could be a million other things that I just don't get.

Maybe its time I admit that it is what it is, and call on my real friends. At least my girlfriends won't get the wrong idea when I invite them...
