What would you do with this date?

[Whattodowiththis]

If you were on a first date with someone, and you knew you don't wanna see him again because of something he said put you off, would you sit there, smile and nod or would you just leave immediately?

I would probably wrap it up. Not order another drink, get the bill etc.

Make an excuse then leave.

I wouldn't just get up and walk out, unless it was something seriously offensive. If it was something that just put me definitely and permanently off, then I would just try to be civil and leave as soon as politely possible.

Fake an urgent call and leave

Sit it out. But try to get it over with ASAP.

Wrap things up at a polite speed

Oooh, what's he said?

For me, it would depend how extreme it was. If it was something fundamentally unpleasant - racism, misogyny, that sort of thing, then I would be leaving asap. If it was just something that is normal but not something I would want in my relationship, then I'd stay and be polite but leave at the next available opportunity.

Depends how offended I was

Depends how bad it was.
If it was offensive I'd walk out. Because I'd have good reason to.
But if it was just something he said that made me think "meh" and realise he wasn't for me then I would change the subject and try to enjoy the rest of what ever we were doing before parting ways.

Why what did they say?

I wouldn't walk out unless it was something bad, but also I wouldn't waste hours of my night on it either. I'd probably finish up my drink/food and make it clear I was off!

I went on a date (OLD) and I walked mid drink ... I just said that I had a headache & had to go.

But circumstances were a bit different to yours, he looked nothing like his pictures, had used old pics & told me that he got his work colleagues to message me because he 'didn't know how to speak to women'

I sat there for about 10 mins feeling like I just had to get away then I thought screw this, I'm not a charity case & I just said I had a headache and walked off

I felt relieved when I had escaped, I felt duped & felt it was pointless sitting there for any longer.

Bring it to a swift close and leave.

If it was something really offensive I'd up and leave. If it was something I thought was not quite right and I didn't like I would probably sit it out, but end it fairly quickly.

As PP said if it was actually horribly offensive I'd leave then and there and tell the date why. If it was just something that meant he wasn't right for me personally but a decent person I'd stay for the remainder of the date but cut it off as early as possible without being rude.

Depends whether he said ‘I’m allergic to dogs’ (and you have 3 huskys) or ‘I’m a white supremist’

One I would sit through the date politely, the other I would leave immediately

I would continue it for a reasonable length. I would say half hour minimum is ok for a date.

Even if you know it's a no go, still good dating practice.

I wouldn't smile and nod too much though, or he'll think it went well.

Haha. I've had dates like that. Just make it a short date - unless he's really offended you.

Indeed. "I really enjoyed that documentary... You know... Love Island" is the end of any romance for me, but I'm not going to be rude about it. On the other hand, "I reckon that Hitler bloke had the right idea...", I'm not hanging around to find out more!

If he had said something that didn't suit me but was bland to others ie he was very religious and I wasn't or he had opposite strong political views to me , I wouldn't hurt his feelings but would wrap up the date neatly as possible and leave on reasonable terms , I wouldn't want to hurt someone just because they didn't suit me but neither would I want to spend longer than necessary in his company
On the other hand if he said something very odd that gave me the creeps I would wrap it up immediately as politely as I could

Nothing offensive or racist like that, he basically told me what he expects of his partner and some of the things he said just pissed me off. I don't want that in my relationship. So I stupidly just sat there, smiled and nodded, tried to get through it. I didn't contact him again. I wish I had the courage to just up and leave.
