You can also say you've got a previous appointment or engagement... which is also true, even though it's with yourself.

You must all be very popular people since you have to have a strategy to get out of doing things with others. Most people have the opposite problem. You'll seem very unsincere after a while though, if your strategy is to not tell the truth.

Is it that you don't want to hurt the feelings of others that you lie? It's a little immature.
