How to dump a bad blind date fast

Your sister set you up on a blind date with a guy from her high school reunion, of course you never laid eyes on him and then the night came when he picked you up for the date and all you can think of is how you wish you were home instead. This man is anything but charming, he's barbaric, chauvinistic, racist and dance with two left feet, literally. He's insulted you about your clothes and told you the perfume you had on smelled like a dead skunk.

He had the nerve to insult you so many times. However, all you care about is how to dump this bad blind date fast. you thought of an escape route as you sat in the restaurant, but it was foiled when they locked the back entrance because closing time was near. You thought you could pretend to be sick, but your sister told him you were the picture of good health and lastly, you tried telling him you had to get up for work early in the morning when he reminded you that you told him earlier you were on vacation for 2 weeks. You'll have nightmares about this date for a long time. You won't be needing any therapy because of it, trust me I've been there. "Okay, I'll tell you a better way of ending your bad blind date."

Honesty, works as long as you don't be insulting, stooping to his level. You can tell someone that you just don't feel the chemistry and it's not working out. Make sure you invite them to friendship land, yawn and say it's getting late. This should let your date know that the night is over and they should be taking you home or if you drove yourself, take out your keys so your date can see that the next step you take is into the parking lot to get to your car.

For blind dates always have a limit on the time you spend out on a date, let your date know that you just want to go out for a half an hour for coffee and see where things go from there. If things are turning out to be bad, all you have to do is go home. Always make sure you have a no strings attached blind date.

If a blind date insults you, bickering back and forward trying to get even with him or instead of whining like a baby about how you don't think your thighs are not too big has got to be a waste of time. "here is what you say." " Since my thighs are too big, I'm obviously not the girl for you, so it's best we end the night on a good note by saying, goodnight and good luck on your next date." Hopefully, no one has you chained down while you're out on a blind date, so your exit should be a breeze.
