Re: Advice

My new coworkers are very nice. We recently went out to lunch together because I don't want to be a stick in the mud and it is good to make those kinds of friendships at work.

But they've been chatting about doing a "girl's night out". Which sounds like torture to me. It will involve drinking and watching trashy movies until like 1. I'd prefer to do something like play boardgames, not drink, and be home by 10.

How do I gracefully decline these invitations?

Go but say you have something early the next morning and have to leave early?

Thank them for the invite but state that you're unavailable. If they ask wny, say that you have other plans - and don't feel that you have to tell them anything beyond that as they're work friends. It doesn't matter if your other plans are just staying in for the night...it's still other plans.

That is likely to make op look standoffish or snobby. Just be honest and say it's not your thing.

wait until they pick a date and then say "oh no I have plans for that day already, sorry!" and if they're assholes and press, make sure it's some kind of unbreakable plan, like a visit to family or something serious and not just a different kind of fun

Tell them that while it's great to hang out, drinking and movie-watching isn't your specific idea of a good time and you hope they have fun without you because it's still their idea of a good time.

Just be honest and say you're more of a Netflix in pajamas kind of woman but you hope they have a great time and tell you about it at work.
