Suppose you were asked to do something together, but for what ever the reason, you had to say "no" . And so you'd like to apologize for not being sociable.

What kind of lines are usually used in this kind of situation?

Also lines like these are usable?

   "Sorry for being a party pooper." 

   "Sorry for not being sociable."

Please teach me your usual lines or commonly used expressions.

Thank you.

Dude there are many ways you can say no...


If you want to be formal you might say:


I'm afraid I can't this time. Maybe some other time.

I'm afraid I won't be able to make it this time.

I can't. I have something to do.

There e just so many possibilities.
