How To End The First Date?
J. Parks
I’m guessing you are currently on your first date with someone you met online or met briefly in public and you not feeling their vibe so you trying to figure out how to escape? Well, I’ve been in that same situation a few times and found ways to end the date without them knowing I’m ending it because I’m not really interested in them. I figured many people go through this so I decided to share my tactics that worked for me when I needed to end a first date.
Analyze each tactic below and see which one you’ll be comfortable with performing at the moment. Each tactic should work so well to were your date won’t notice you are leaving just to get away from them.
1. Play sick.
Acting like you suddenly got a stomach ache can definitely help you end your first date with ease. This tactic works perfectly if the first date is at a restaurant. You can blame the food you just ate for having a stomach ache.
The person you are on the date with might suggest that you use the restroom at the restaurant to feel better but you should decline it. Declining their suggestion will make leaving the restaurant the best option. Then you are able to escape the first date without them knowing the true reason as long as you drove your own vehicle to the restaurant.
2. Fake an emergency call.
Receiving an emergency call from a friend or family member will definitely give you the opportunity to leave on your first date. The problem with choosing this tactic is that emergency calls don’t happen too often so you may have to plan it beforehand. Texting a friend or family member while on the date to inform them about the emergency call you need them to make will increase the chances of it seeming truthful.
Your acting skills have to truly be on point if you want the emergency call to seem believable. I honestly don’t recommend this tactic to be your first choice because it can bring bad karma. Everyone doesn’t believe in karma though so if you are one of them who don’t believe in karma then this tactic is okay to use.
3. Go to the bathroom and never come back.
This tactic is a harsh tactic to do but if you are a careless person then performing this tactic won’t be so bad for you. The person you are on the date with may not accept this tactic kindly so it’s best to do it if you truly not planning on seeing them again. It’s a possibility they may try and get revenge on you if they meet you again.
To be on the safe side, make sure the person you are on the date with doesn’t have your address or any personal information before using this tactic. Then you won’t have to worry about them tracking you down to confront you about what you did.
4. Be honest and direct.
The last tactic I have for you is, to be honest and direct. Instead of beating around the bush or making up excuses, it’s best to be direct and upfront about your feelings. If you’re not interested in pursuing a second date, politely let your date know that you had a nice time but don’t see a romantic connection with them in the future.
Being honest and direct will not only help avoid any confusion or mixed signals, but it will also show respect for your date’s feelings. Hopefully, they’ll understand and won’t be upset about your decision.
Conclusion:
I’ve noticed many people have trouble finding a way to leave their first date when they are feeling uncomfortable. So I decided to share the four tactics I used in the past to assist people with the issue of not knowing how to end the first date. Everyone can’t perform these tactics because they require severe acting skills so make sure you are qualified before performing these.
Playing sick, faking an emergency call, going to the bathroom without returning, and being direct are the four tactics you could perform. Each tactic will work differently for certain people so you have to choose which one to use wisely. Just because the first tactic works well for someone else doesn’t mean it’ll work for you so be mindful of that.
