Yea I'd Say...But back to your original post the phone thing is a home run. At one point in our date I thought of ducking out but I couldnt do it so i was going to go to the bathroom and have a friend call me. But when i got up she DEMANDED i give her my phone. Its funny when a friend says "I got a GREAT girl for you" you trust the guy.

Nah, probably because I never make first dates (especially blind dates) dinner dates. Coffee or drinks ... that way if it's going well you can suggest moving on to something else, if not you can leave with a "nice to meet you... good luck" and move on. I guess I believe that everyone deserves that much courtesy.

Then again I've never had any dates that were truly awful. Most are just "meh," where you know fairly quickly there won't be a second, but the rest of the first isn't so painful that you can't have a friendly conversation for another half hour or so.

In one case, I called a friend from the restroom. I told him to call me about a fictional "work problem" in 10 minutes. Got me out of an extremely painfull blind date.

There are battered women? I've been eating 'em plain all of these years...

Not myself personally, but it is always a good back up plan to have lined up just in case!

That's so funny! I knew I couldn't be the only one who did that. I used to ALWAYS have my best friend call me about an hour or so into a first date. I had to make use of her call on an occasion or two.

The last time I went on a first date, I turned my phone on silent very shortly into the evening...I was having way too much fun to be bothered. Two years later and I'm still having too much fun to be bothered.
I may have ended up with the coolest guy ever this time, but you never know going into it if the juice is going to be worth the squeeze, so there's nothing wrong with having a back-up!

Sometimes I'd have a friend call. Other times, I just set the alarm on my cell phone and pretend to answer it. That last one came in handy when the guy I was out with tried to drug my drink.

Still have a contact # for the shithead, call him and tell 'em, to meet me at a location of your choice, I'll teach the little prick, some morals!

This was almost five years ago, so no, I don't have his number. Looking back, I probably should've reported him to the cops. No evidence because the waitress had probably cleared the glasses by that point, but I still should've reported. I didn't think of it; I was just glad to get out of there. I was lucky; I saw what he was doing in a reflection in the glass behind the table.

I did that once. I was set up on a blind date through a friend that had a VERY attractive gf..which is now his wife...but anyways...he wanted to set me up with her friend. He told me that she was just as cute as his wife. well hell..i wouldhave been happy with half as cute..lol. Anyways the plan was to meet up at a oyster bar. so we did and oh my god...now im not really the superficial type...but oh my god..she was the size of a dump truck. i mean..im a bigger guy standing 6'1 200 pounds..and she made ME look like a twig!! Needless to say the date lasted about 5 mintes...on my end. I never let him hook me up with anyone else...ever again!

On my last blind date, I was just about to say, "This doesn't seem to be working out, but it was nice meeting you." I decided to give him a couple more minutes since we were both nervous and uncomfortable. Ten days later we eloped to Vegas. Still happily married 12+ years later.

Never got one, but a date of mine did. About an hour into our first date her phone went off. She answered, said everythings good, and hung up. I must have had a stupid look on my face cuz she said that was her "rescue call". If she had wanted out, she would have made like there was an emergency at home and left.
I'm glad she stayed.

I would have done 1 of 2 things:
1. Got up and left her lying ass sitting there. or
2. Played her like a fish just to get the sex and then left her lying ass lieing there.

My reality and yours are quite different.

So with all this "rescue calling" goin' on it's obvious nobody would ever fall for it. If you ever did use it you could pretty much be sure the other person knew the real story and would feel like crap for it.

What we as a society need to do is have a First Date Time Out. At an appropriate time (say one hour) into the date, "TIME OUT!" is declared. Both parties suspend the bullshitting and shining on and commence to gettin' honest with each other about how it's going. If all is well, then continue. If it ain't working, either party has the right to chop.

In my original post, I never said I did this. I was just asking if anyone else has done it. I just sat there and suffered through it with a smile. Hey, it was a free meal right?

I thought you'd like to come eat at the nursing home. They provide staff with free meals.
