M'kay, lessee whaddya'll think. Invited the lady a met the other day out to hear some live music. She said, "sorry, but I have plans with my friends - but, if we go to an early movie show and I'm off before you go out, I'll give you a call". Naturally, I called my other potential date, and set up a night out with her on the same day. Now... if the first prospect calls, would a line "sorry, but I already have company tonight" be (i) believable and (ii) apropriate? Whaddya think?
"Sorry, I already have company..."

You could use lots of different lines, all meaning the same thing...
"I made alternative plans" (I've got a date), "I'm meeting a friend instead" (ambigious), "I have to work late" (I've no life)...

Whoa, back up.
Do you have Caller-ID? If so, don't answer--she's too late.
If you don't have it, get it. If you answer, the replies above aren't bad and I doubt I could improve on them. Just be honest that you've already made plans but it would've been fun. Then get off the phone w/o making any future plans at this time.
Give her time to think about it.
I don't think she'll call, though. You did well immediately dialing up option #2. Well done.

If you really like the girl.....
If you are not really interested in the girl it doesn't matter what you say..... However if you are DO NOT SAY YOU HAVE COMPANY TONIGHT........................ We take that to mean one thing and one thing only and if the girl is not that open minded that will blow it all............ be a little more ambigious............ I have plans, I am going to be with my family that night if you really like her but only use I have company if you are only half way interested trust me.........................
