Most dates are just average while some dates can have us feeling like we’re on cloud nine. Then there are those dates that are just flat-out bad. In fact, they’re so bad you need an escape plan. No one’s stopping you from just getting up and walking out but it’s probably better that you try to do it without seeming like a total jerk. Here are some suggestions from “Your Tango” on how to get out of a bad date:
- Have someone text or call you at a certain time with an “emergency”
- Say you’re not feeling well
- Drop hints that you’re only interested in being friends
- Act like you have plans after
- If you’re hesitant about going into the date, plan something small and short
- Try a bad date app
- Blame your family
- Be politely honest and just say you’re exhausted
- Be brutally honest
