Dating can be a great experience, but it also has the potential to go wrong. The first date in particular is a good indicator of whether or not you and your date click. But sometimes things can get awkward. Your date might be boring, you might not feel any attraction, or, worse: you feel creeped out or intimidated by your date. Whatever the reason, you may need a solid strategy to leave the date as soon as possible.
Fear not—we have all the information you need to exit safely and easily from a bad date.

A good exit strategy should be planned ahead of your date. This is particularly important if you're meeting someone in person for the first time. Make sure someone knows where you go, at what time, and with whom.
Your safety comes first. Plan how to get to your date, and how to get home. Have some cash with you just in case you need it, and arrange with a friend to keep in touch. Then devise the perfect exit strategy based on this list.
Wardrobe malfunction
This is a classic, and it works every time. Sure, you might not want to ruin your best clothes, so take that into consideration before you 'accidentally' spill some wine or pasta sauce on your clothes.
As much as you'd like to stay longer, you're just not comfortable with food stains on your clothes. You can get more adventurous and rip a couple of buttons off your shirt, but that's harder to pull off (pun intended).
Pretend to have one too many
Just pretend to be drunk. This will give you an excuse to behave weirdly, which in turn will freak out your date. In the end, they will be relieved that you left early!
This excuse works best if you're going out for a drink, but it's also doable during a dinner date. Forget about it if your date consists of a coffee, a walk in the park, or other similar activities. Unless you want to pretend you're on drugs, which might not be such a bad idea either. Read More…
