Reasons girls should call it a night
Obviously, when you're tired and need to go home and get to bed, it's a good idea to call it a night. However, thinking it might hurt the guys feelings by cutting the date short shouldn't stop you from calling it a night. Girl's should be aware of the time when they're out past curfew or bedtime, just in case there is work or school they have to be up early for in the morning. Another reason girls should call it a night is if a guy is being too forward making sexual advances that is not welcoming.
You should call it a night when a guy is showing any abusive or controlling behavior, if he's belittling you in anyway or trying to bully you or boss you, it's time to go home and never go out with this guy again. If there is any obligations you have to take care of, like going back home to pay the baby sitter and be there for your children, or if you have pets you have to be home for it's time to call it a night at an appropriate time and if the guy is a gentleman, he will understand.
If you're out with a guy who is a free loader and he's moocher asking you to pay for everything. It's time you get home as quick as you can. And let's not forget about the guys who talk about how much he misses his ex and you remind him so much of her, or either he hates her so much he keeps on complaining about what she did him. Don't forget to ask the waiter to bring the check so you can call it a night.
Here is another reason a girl should get home, if a guy is talking about how many years he spent in prison for whatever heinous crimes he has committed, get home and lock your door. Anytime you feel frightened, uncomfortable, not compatible or tired, these are reasons to call it a night. Never let a guy talk you into staying longer than you should, show some self control. Usually people respect you more when you show confidence, independence and self control.
It is a good idea to have your own transportation or have a friend or relative pick you up, so that you're not fully dependent on a guy taking you home, because he might want to do it on his terms and not yours if he is controlling the date. If a guy can't respect your decision to want to go home, you might have better time on your next date with someone else who can respect you.
