Hi there. You’ve studied the OK Stupid <\/a>site, crafted the perfect message and landed a date. Ear hairs are plucked, and your body is perfumed in a bath of chemical companies such as Fragrance<\/i> and Urea<\/i>. Date time arrives and your online suitor is not quite what you expected.<\/p>\n

Here are the top 5 ways to get out of a bad date.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Just leave<\/strong>
    \nMan up, woman up, human up and accept that it’s not going to work. His\/her photos were of a famous celebrity from the 1980s and a friend wrote those words that made your hear go pitter patter. Life is short, leave.<\/li>\n
  2. Fake a phone call
    \n<\/strong>Not tough enough to just leave? You sissy. Fine fake a phone call. “Sorry, got to take this. I’m a surgeon and on call. Oh no, I have to operate stat.” Say stat. No one knows what it is so it sounds cool.<\/li>\n
  3. Have a friend call\/or text<\/strong>
    \nActing chops not up to snuff for the fake call? Plan to have a friend call or text you 15 minutes into the date. Then again if you answer your phone or send a text during a first date you are probably a horrible person and your date should pull a number 1.<\/li>\n
  4. Be creepy, extra creepy
    \n<\/strong>This option is gross. Stare in your dates eyes. No, I mean really stare. Stare like your trying to count how many eye floaties they have. If you take this approach you should probably be on a watch list. What the hell is wrong with you?<\/li>\n
  5. Fuck it, just keep drinking<\/strong>
    \nHow bad could the date be? Really? You met in a bar, right? Good. Throw away your chip from AA and pound back a few. Use some social lube to possibly get some.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
