Have you ever been on a date that suddenly started to go off the rails?  Perhaps they drank to much liquor or got too boisterous.  The idea of spending another hour with them has become too much to bear.  What do you do?  One of my friends who is a doctor faked an emergency.  I once saw a guy pretend to have a seizure!  There is no easy way to bow out graciously so you just have to do it quick and exit fast.

I have heard bad date stories and wondered why did they stay? After the first sign of trouble, some people won’t abandon the date.  Some dates are so bad, basic curiosity drives you to see it through to the end.  It’s like you want to see how awful it will get!

What would you do or have done when your date starts to tank?
