Couldnt agree with you more, have had first dates where I had a pain in my face from smiling and was fantasising about doing the ironing (I hate ironing)....lifes too short, no need to be offensive...just leggit

Yes, I dated a guy who asked me to spend my money for everything, I thought he would change but he did not, and I regret not have dumped him the first day, I carried on with his date until he went home, because I was afraid to seem rude with him. That was a big mistake. Then I realized he had mental problems.

If i had decided to go on the date,then i would see the date through.
Spending a few hours with someone is no hardship,and i would just put it down to experience.

I have never ended a date early or walked out, but from now on, if someone obviously tells porkies, I'll be out of there. 
If someone decides to lie to get a date, I won't feel obliged to hang around anymore.
Having said that, I had some lovely dates in the past.

In response to: If you go out and this person is not for you. Do you feel you need to stay out till you have agreed it would end? If you cut it short, do you say why, nicely?
I always like to know how things end. So I'm going to stay and see how it goes. If it's really bad, no 2nd date and move on.

I would give her the option of deciding, I have been on some dates which I thought things were going disastrously, and the other party wanted another date, things went better on subsequent dates it was just my over active imagination, thinking I was being a pillock

On second thought, if the other party wants a 2nd date and I declined, that wouldn't be seeing things through would it? Hahaha But deciding for 2nd date would depend on what my impression of the person is. Soemtimes it's hard to decide to whom and when you give chances.. hmmn.

Yes you're right, but it's so difficult to walk out on someone who seems to be enjoying your company yet inside you are dying to get away.

I agree with you on that.Much like getting a freaky apprentice for 5 weeks then going on vacation for a month

If it was really bad, I'd finish my drink, politely excuse myself to go to the bathroom, then crawl out the window and stiff her with the bill. 
What's good for the gander, is good for the goose.
Ok, maybe I wouldn't.

respectfully see the date through. focus on the positives and enjoy some conversation.
i only did this once...
was out on a date..the fellow got drunk ( i think he was drunk when he arrived). we had already planned dinner, and to attend an art opening. weellll...i got through dinner, and he already knew where the opening was..
but..
he didn't know there were several in the same area. so we went to 'an exhibition opening' and i disappeared in the crowd, went out the side door, and then over to the the opening i was originally intending to go to.
it was awkward...as he worked the same university as i did, and he had more senority...

I'm a firm believer that the first date should be very, very light, like a Starbucks break. Get to know the person a bit before taking her/him to dinner, or more. Then the likelihood of needing to bail is at least less. I was once set up on a 'blind' date by an acquaintance who "just KNEW it was right for me". Well, I was never so embarrassed in my life, the date was completely out of step with my personal Tao, etc..It was an extremely gross error. (I had to wonder if the acquaintance was playing a weird prank on me). GET TO KNOW SOMEONE before making this kind of social commitment. I can't advise this more strongly. If you don't, and trust kismet, then, well, you get however the chips fall, and sometimes it ain't pretty. Take this advice!!!------ This thread is Archived ------

In your case(being a woman) you must take control and end dates. In my case(being a man)I would hold off till I seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
