What To Do When A First Date Goes Wrong   You don’t look like your profile picture…With online dating an increasingly popular way for people to meet for love or just friendship these days, there is, of course, an increase in the number of bad first dates that have been occurring. Maybe they turn out to be really boring or are disgustingly racist or something. Or maybe your date turned out to be 63 years old instead of a 36 year old or maybe they are alarmingly overweight when their profile said they were of ‘medium’ build. You will avoid this problem with video chat apps for your ios.   Whatever the reason, while you would hope that most people would be honest on their dating profiles, not all are, meaning that some dates may not go quite as either party may have hoped. Even if you did not arrange your date through a dating site or social networking hub any date can go badly which is why this article is here to offer you some ideas of what to do when your date goes bad. Be NiceIn order to spare the feelings of your date you may be able to summon the courage to be honest and nicely explain to them that you are not enjoying your date or that they are not at all like they had claimed and just get up and leave.   You may be surprised as this sort of confrontation can shock people out of a nervous unappealing dating frame of mind and into being themselves, which may be a lot more palatable. You may just see a side of them you like and continue your date or you could give them some key criticisms that help them on future dates. Make an ExcuseIf you want to get away but don’t really want to be nice about it, maybe because they are a bit rude and you don’t think they will appreciate it if you are nice, make an excuse.   You can either just say something like you are not feeling well or you can pre-arrange a phone call or something. Tell a friend to call you at a certain time so that you can say “Oh god I’ve got to go, my cat is stuck in a storm drain,” and just leave saying you are really sorry. Most of the best dating sites UK will aim to avoid setting you up with people you won’t be compatible with to help ensure free dating UK has a good reputation. Leg ItAs a last resort, if you are too afraid to be nice or to make an excuse, just leave. You could sneak out when you say you are going to the toilet, or you could wait until they go to the lavatory and leg it.
