Being stuck in the middle of a devastating date can be a terrible situation to be in. Find out how you can escape a bad date by reading some of these useful tips.

1. View your date as a potential friend

If you figure out that your date is not right for you and still want to be polite about it and stick it out, your best bet is to see her as a potential friend. Give yourself positive self talk by saying that you have only an hour more to go and you may end up with a friend for life, if not a hot date.

2. Pretend to receive a text message or a call that requires you to run an urgent errand

There are iPhone and android apps available that generate fake text messages which can look very genuine to the person sitting across the table. Use an app like this or simply fake getting a message or a call which urgently requires you to be elsewhere. This way your date may not feel insulted that you left halfway.

3. Have the guts to be honest about your mismatch

Do you need to escape a bad date but don’t have the heart to hurt the girl? To be ethical about escaping a bad date, muster up courage and talk about it to your girl openly. Tell her that she is a very nice person but you both may not be compatible. Saying the truth with an honest heart is likely to save you from hurting or offending your lady. In fact, it may win you her respect. Be tactful because this can easily go the other way.
