How To Ditch A Bad Date
Are you ever left wondering how to ditch a bad date?
Ugh! You are stuck on the worst date known to man! He is loud, obnoxious and what the hell is wrong with that man’s left eye? You have choked down your meal faster than an Indy pit crew in hopes of ending the date, but he is simply not eating fast enough. You are half tempted to reach other there and start feeding him. With both hands.
Can you see an escape route?
Now if you used your brain, and trust me, you will from now on after this little lesson of life, you surveyed the area for an escape route from the prison you’ve found yourself in. What about the restroom, is there a fire escape nearby? Head there to “freshen up a bit” and make a dash for the door. Even if you have to hike to the other side of the restaurant to make it to your car, it will be worth the effort to ditch this bad date!

Give him the slip.
If you find yourself on a bad date at a night club, innocently take him by the hand to the dance floor and then let the crowd engulf you. You can be long gone before he manages to wiggle his way free. Feeling malicious? Point him out to one of the big bouncers and let them know he is stalking you. He will be tossed out of there so quick your head will spin and you’ll get to stay and have fun.
Straight up tell him your leaving.
Depending on how direct of a person you are, you could simply tell him it is a no go and that you are leaving, however most women find that hard to do. We’ve been hard-wired to be nice no matter how miserable it makes us, so we have to get a bit creative when we ditch a bad date.
Fake an emergency.
Got a moment alone? Call your friend. She can call the restaurant and tell them about a fake emergency that requires your dates attention. You have to know his full name to make it work out but if done properly, it’s a classic maneuver. They will page him, and he will come back confused, letting you know there is an emergency. Then you are home free with only a small amount of quilt.
A little psychological warfare, anyone?
You can always go for the psychological warfare, but use caution. stare him straight in the eyes and tell him how perfect your babies are going to look. If you have any luck, that little nugget of information will have him suddenly remembering a previous engagement that can’t be missed. If that doesn’t work, just try to give him a bit more encouragement.
Drinking like a fish = bad idea!
Drinking like a fish as a means to embarrass you date is a recipe for disaster for more reasons then one. For starters, you might make some bad decisions. What if you drink so much that he actually starts to seem attractive? Think it is hard to ditch him now? Just imagine how hard it will be if you sleep with him in a drunken stupor. You could throw him into an ocean with cement on his feet and he would still manage to surface and be knocking on your door.
It’s a much better idea to stay away from alcohol and keep an eye out for your clean break away. hopefully he is not one of those dates that would not leave your side even if the place was on fire. One of the ones that acts like they are mans best friend the way they follow you around. You know the ones, they will even follow you to the bathroom and wait outside the door for you to return. If he is it will tell you one thing for sure, he’s been ditched a few times before. Hopefully there will be a window that you can climb out of in the bathroom.
