I feel this. Even for jeans, where measurements are given, it can be tricky to get them right. Oftentimes, the cut makes all the difference. In the end, that's the design of the garment and that might fit your body or not. I think designers should have all the freedom in the world making their jeans tighter or looser, higher or lower at the spots they want but a better description would reduce returns for online stores a lot.
Though, I've seen some stores which put serious effort into this, allowing you to enter body measurements and then showing how it might fit you with a sketch or allowing you to compare it with another pair of jeans.
It's mean and childish of a person who got asked out and declined to publish who asked them out and even how, especially when they're coining it in such a bad way. I've observed these situations too. Some things shouldn't be gossiped because they can have a very negative impact on the mental situation of some people.
I hope you're doing fine and working on overcoming that fear. If you actually have a weakness on social clues like that, I think it wouldn't be too bad of an idea to let them know somehow. I bet most will be very understanding. Most of the time, people are very polite when declining.
