When And How To Dead A Sh*tty Date

How To Cut A Bad Date Short

Honesty Can Be The Best Policy

Assess the situation (aka the person) and decide if they can handle the truth. If you can tell they are emotionally mature and stable, but you just don’t feel a connection, you might be able to simply tell them that. Some people appreciate you being upfront, so as to not waste any more of their time.

However, sometimes, like when you’re dealing with a narcissist or someone with a volatile personality, it’s clear they won’t take the truth well. In those cases, you need to protect yourself from some drama, and try the next ideas.

Fake A Pet Emergency

Say that you see on your pet cam that your dog or cat is throwing up, or that they’ve gotten into something that will make them sick and you have to rush home. Say you realize you need to give them their medication. Say your dog walker bailed, and now you have to rush home to let your pet outside. Nobody can argue when a furry friend has needs.
