How would you go about ending a bad date? ( Archived) (72)

Jul 23, 2009 1:33 AM CST How would you go about ending a bad date?
You've met this man/woman and you've already committed yourself to go on a date to dinner and a movie with them but you find during this date that you're not at all feeling the slightest attraction whatsoever to him/her.

There's long pauses in the converstion and very awkward moments.To sum it up you're totally miserable.

What would you do? Yes,I've been in this same situation before and I'll tell you that it sucked big time on how I had to deal with this.

I dated a guy who I felt absolutely no attraction for. I came right out without using excuses and point blank/straightup and told him that the date was begining to be no fun for me and I needed to go home.He agreed to take me home.

On a few dates I had this problem... I would just find something to preoccupy my time and not look at her and only respond to her questions but wouldn't ask her any... But they usually get the hint and asked me to take them back to their homes which I did and left... But I rarely have this problem cause I don't go on blind dates... Or should I???

I just suffer through it.



Unless she really irritates me, then I just tell her the date's over, and wrap up any loose ends like dinner cheques and transportation.

If the other person made an effort you should at least try and suffer until the end of the date unless the person is being obnoxious.

Before you part you can be truthful and say that you were expecting the person to be different to what they are and that you have decided not to meet them again.

Wish the other person luck and say that you hope that they appreciate your honesty as you don't like hurting people by giving a false impression.

The other person might actually be relieved if he/she found you equally boring or unattractive!

Really irritating women can pick up the cheque!

Just go to the toilet and don't come back!

I would hit them on the head with a blunt object and throw things around so it looked like a robbery. Then i would send a ransom note and say they need to come up with a cool million to get me back from the robbers. laugh

I am pretty frank - I would tell her I do not feel comfortable at all and that it does not feel as we are going anywhere with our stumbling conversation.

That must be a proof of missing chemistry and we better save our pride by cutting the date short and use our time for something more fruitful.

It works and no feelings hurt, since she is obviously feeling exactly the same.

To add a little thing kind of important for some - if the date was agreed upon and the chemistry is missing, just don't call it a mistake.

The person you meet might suffer from low self esteem, that would scare them as hell, and cause unnecessary pain.

If they lied and you showed up with a completely false image of the person - then it was a mistake bordering to fraud. Tell him/her and walk off.
