just for fun...

you go on a blind date or a date with a guy u met on line. u meet up and see what he looks like and sounds like and in the first 10 mins you wished you had turned around and ran when u first seen them. (sounds terrible but it happens)

what would be your excuse to get a way early.

come on be honest...

its just a bit of fun

I would fart, burp, and proclaim my love for them.

Oh, I know lots of guys who would love you even more if you did that!

As for the OP, you should always make sure your first meeting is short and casual, so you don't have to make excuses to get away. You then put up with the misery for 30 minutes, reminding yourself the whole time that God loves this person, and wants you to, as well. Then, when you do get away, it feels soooo good! :thumbsup:

But in the interest of the thread, I would agree with CLRichardson, and say it's not going to work, goodbye. What difference does it make what they think of you, then?

Hehe it depends. If I haven't said a word to them yet and had only see them.

"Hi, are you TJ?"
"Uhhhhh, no... I don't know what your talking about.

This plan is obviously susceptible to failure though, such as right after you say that a friend walks by and yells:

"Hey TJ! How's it going?"


But yea... it's either that or fake a heart attack.

I don't go on blind dates or meet people from the internet, but, hypothetically, I would fart, burp, and proclaim my love for them.
I would have to say that I agree with OhhJim on this.

It would just show some guys that you are willing to be yourself, and not hid behind filters.

it would be kind of hard to leave the date if you rode together tho', then you just tell them (like I have heard a number of times) you are a really nice guy, and be great for someone some day, but its just not going to work out between us. ( i would hate to even think how many times I have heard that in my life :sigh:)

What my friend and I have agreed to do is arrange for the one not on the date to call the other on their cell, if they don't like how it's going, perfect excuse, they have to leave, if they do like how it's going, "don't call me anymore tonight!":D

I doubt I'd go out with anyone from online unless I already knew them fairly well, but otherwise I'd put up with it for the duration of the date and try to make it as much fun for both of us as I could since they were nice enough to ask me in the first place.
If they were a nice person but not one I'd date I'd tell them. And if they were nasty, grubby or had weird intentions I'd be polite as I could but they'd have a fairly good idea of why I was leaving.

If I accidently got a date with brad pitts twin brother and he thought I was a boring christian chick who didn't cut it because I wasn't supermodelish enough for him, I'd still hope he'd be polite anyway.

Protip: Don't leave the cellphone on during a date at all.

Anyways, ladies, here's what to do: Proceed to talk about your seven divorces, and then blame every breakup on the ex-husbands. Then, every single thing the guy does, criticize him, and then tell him it reminds of your (pick a number between 1 and 7) ex. Then, tell him how gender roles have oppressed society and "who's to say a man shouldn't be allowed to wear a dress, or kiss another dude, and still be straight?". Then, just to top it all off, tell him that OJ was innocent and that the whole thing was just "the white man keeping the black man down", and that you're a devout follower of the S.C.U.M. manifesto. Then, if that STILL doesn't work, tell him you sacrificed a virgin last night to the great Chanel and Prada.

If he's not sprinting away at this point, then you got a REALLY commited dude!

I'm sorry, but I'm not going to pass up the opportunity to make a new friend. If I asked a lady out, and I was completely uninterested in her romantically, I would at least have the class to finsh the date. You never know where your next friend may come from.

If your argument is that what if they were so un-Godly that you realised that you made a HUGE mistake..........well maybe God brought them into your life for a reason ;)


I honestly feel like ending a date by any form of diversion with telling the truth is nothing short of intentional deception, and deception = a lie.

Great thoughts-- I so agree.

Before I met up with some dude I would make sure we had a lot in common so the evening could go pretty well
