Surviving a bad date can be tricky, but it can be done if you know the right steps to take.
Imagine you are on the worst date of your life with what seems to be the world’s worst man. You’re in the midst of this horrible place and this date just seems to drag on and on. It’s as if there has never been a night that has lasted as long as this one.
You keep thinking to yourself as you look at this person, when will this torture ever end, and what did I do to deserve this? All you want is to find a place to hide, or escape as quickly as possible. But how do you do that? Sometimes in times of distress you have to do things that you may not normally do. This would be one of those times.
So, if you’re ready to learn what you can do the next time you somehow find yourself with "Mr. Oh So Wrong," read on.
Scenario 1: You’re on a date at an elegant restaurant with an absolutely gorgeous man. He looks good, smells good, and has a body that ripples with muscles in all the right places. You may be thinking, how could this possibly be bad?
Then he opens his mouth and begins to talk and talk and talk, not about something deeply profound or even relatively interesting, but about himself. He doesn’t ask about you once or show interest in anything other than what makes him so great.
Every time he takes a breath you try to jump in, but it’s no use, he just talks right over you. You get so tired of hearing his voice you just want to yell, “SHUT UP!” But of course being the polite lady that you are, you smile and nod, enabling this conceited motormouth to continue rambling.

I don't know about the 911 call to the friend... I think any guy will see through that little ploy. But I guess in that situation you have nothing to lose anyway!

A normal guy could possibly see through the 911 text and call from the friend, but a guy similar to the ones in these scenarios wouldn't have a clue. And you're right, it wouldn't matter even if they did catch on to any of these ploys. The point is to somehow get out of the situation without it being obvious and/or rude.

So your advice is milking a guy because he has money, acting equally as rude, and lying. Sorry, but this is all terrible advice.

My advice is to make the best out of a bad situation. This is not behavior women should demonstrate with the "good" guys out there. However, when a woman is dealing with losers who don't know how to act like gentlemen or treat her as she should be treated, then these are things she can do. Whether a woman throws a glass of wine in the guys face or takes my advice, the result is the same: No second date!
