It's always important to have a friend call you at a specific point in the date. Twice if you're really worried it won't go well.

Have them call about an hour into the date. Excuse yourself from your date for a bit, and update your friend on how things are going. If it's horrible, make up an excuse that your friend is really sick and needs you help with something. Then get out of there fast!

If things are going fine at that point, have your friend try back in another hour or so and do the same things then.

You could always say there's a family problem, your best friend is really upset about something, your professor/ teacher called and there is a problem with the paper you submitted, etc.

Just remember the excuse you used. Try not to make it a huge like because you may get caught later on.

Best idea is to have a backup plan. Have a friend you can text with a code, and they'll call you and pretend it's an emergency. Or just tell someone to call you halfway through the date, and then you can pretend something came up.
Best idea is not to fake something huge like a death, though. Maybe a minor illness, or, better, a friend's breakup. You could also say you're not feeling well.

all the ones about having a friend call are great. also you could try faking you feel REALLY sick or say some stuff is going on at home and you really need to get back and be with your family.

Ahh! I have a great tip.

Bring your cell phone, and about halfway through the date, have a friend call you. Act like you didn't know your friend was going to call, even though you totally did. Have your friend ask you something, like, "How's the weather?" and if you say 'sunny', it means things are going well. If you say 'rainy' or 'cloudy', then that will be a signal to know you're not into the date. If you're not into, have your friend say that there's an 'slight emergency' and that she/he needs you. Then you can leave, and your date won't be offended.
*Have the friend whose going to call you and what you're going to say prearranged.


So, the weather question was a lame exmaple, and I know you're lying, but it's better than saying something like, "This date blows, I'm leaving" ya know? ;]
Or I guess you can always say you don't feel well?

you could call *08 and then go to instant alibi, and you set a time, and you pick an excuse, and they just tell you what to say. its great! or you could just have a friend call you. but personally, i like to use *08....more accurate really.

Angie1626 answered Monday February 18 2008, 5:12 pm:
If you're worried that will happen, I think you should tell one of your friends to call you at a certain time..like if your date is from 7-9 or something, have your friend call you at 8. tell your date its a really important phone call and excuse yourself. if the date is going fine tell him it was no big deal. if its horrible, tell your date your friend just had an emergency and you have to leave. always have a friend call you on dates your worried about, so you have an excuse to leave. =]
