I hadn't set eyes on the question until I saw this meta post, so this is a new perspective. I see several issues with it.

##It's not clear.

Perhaps it's just me, but I don't understand the question itself.

Two sentences in that post have question marks. One is the title:

Can I tell my girlfriend that I'm too lazy to meet up?

What does "Can I" mean? Does it mean "Is it physically possible to"? Does it mean "Would it be culturally acceptable to"? Does it mean "Should I"?

The other question is in the body:

Is it really that strange?

That's not about interpersonal skills. Asking whether another person's behavior is weird is probably off-topic for IPS.

I've read the question three times, and I don't really get what it's asking. That's a problem. Verdict? Possible closure as Unclear What You're Asking.

##It doesn't specify enough.

There are many details we don't know enough about:

• Cultural background.
• Prior dates and meetups.
• The ages of the parties, as well as any other relevant details about them.

These are all indicators that an IPS question is too vague. Verdict? Possible closure as Too Broad.

Vylix brought up something that I'd like everyone to keep in mind:

As the question phrased right now, I think the closure is right. Remember that we should close questions as soon as we see problem to prevent people answering. If you see editing can bring out the answerable question, go ahead. Don't mind the closure, it's temporary.

If a question still needs fixing, we shouldn't answer it. If it needs more details or clarifications or narrowing-down, we should work to do that before we start answering. That's the whole point of putting something on-hold - to give everyone time to fix the problem so the question can get better answers.

That's also why it's called "On hold" - the label "Closed" isn't applied for several days. It's meant to remind everyone that the point isn't to permanently stop answers, but to give a chance to improve the question,
