You're on a really bad date, what is your exit strategy?

I tell that knucklehead that I'm leaving and yes a woman can be a knucklehead.

Several years ago my date, pretended he was getting calls, from all over the world and needed to leave. I just left. No words needed.

Date whats that??

Burp real loud and then maybe rip a stinker ! That's a quick exit strategy !

Burp loudly and rip a real stinker! Works for women too.

I just leave i.e disappear.

I think I might just start barking like a dog at the dinner table ....with my luck with the nut cases I attract he'd be into it :/

I haven't dated in a couple of decades, which was before cell phones. I always kept change for the pay phone so I could call for someone could come get me. Today I would just use my cell phone. If it is going that bad there is no need for lies or schemes. Just excuse yourself and leave.

i never went on a "date" but i met this one special needs girl thru my brothers friend.. We would always talk on the phone and even agreed to hangout and go for dinner... But when we did meet up.. Omgg... She was beyond clingy and obnoxious!! She pinned me to a car and tried to force me to kiss her. Halfway thru our hangout plans, I called some friendly acquaintances to meet me at the restaurant  while i was in the bathroom (i didn't want to ditch the person).. When they showed up it was such a relief that i wasn't alone with her!! They sat with us but she was so rude to them.. She even chased one of them down the street "mooning" and kicking them (i remained phone friends with her for a good year after that until she started bugging me when im going to marry her and have babies etc..). i actually enjoyed talking to her on the phone until her real personality started showing.

Probably act weird or say bad about me to help me get out p there if I don't really care about the person or tell them I'm not interested if they aren't too emotional .

well I don't date but I guess I would say I have to go to the bathroom and then leave .
