Help. I'm on a date. I've read a text about me...

I'm on a forth date with a guy. He's cooking. Left me in charge of his phone for Spotify.

It's not an iPhone. I don't know what I'm doing. I get out of the app. I panic. Hit another button. Whatsapp. It's a chat with a friend of his where he's detailing what we got up to on our last date.

Also scrolling back. I'm half a bottle of wine down. He says he might not see me again as I'm not his type.

Sooooo. What do I do now. I feel like crap.

Make excuses and leave

stillavid · 13/08/2021 21:03

Call a taxi and go home

Alieninmybody · 13/08/2021 21:03

How much detail is he giving on what you got up to on your last date?
If it's inappropriate leave now.

You’ve got a migraine. Your neighbour has texted you about an emergency etc etc. I would be making my exit if l was you

LowlytheWorm · 13/08/2021 21:04

Make a playlist on Spotify with goodbye songs and leave!

Goodthings · 13/08/2021 21:05

I’d be off.

Fiddliestofsticks · 13/08/2021 21:05

Just leave. I'm guessing you've not slept together yet, and this is the date at his home because he plans to get sex and then not see you again.

Just say you're feeling really unwell and calm a taxi home.

Ingloriousbasterd · 13/08/2021 21:05

I'd just leave and text him saying sorry, you're just not my type 💁

DifficultPifcultLemonDifficult · 13/08/2021 21:05

Get a friend to call you with an emergency.

Stay on the phone with your friend while you make your excuses and leave.

Block him when you get home.

NoNever · 13/08/2021 21:05

You leave, of course. I’d bet he’s just hoping to have sex before he breaks things off. Wrap your dignity around you and get out. He’s not worthy of you.

RantyAunty · 13/08/2021 21:05

You've suddenly got gastro and need to leave.

VodselForDinner · 13/08/2021 21:05

You make an excuse and leave safely.

Then you get home, text him to say why you’ve left, and block him.

onlymyselftoanswerto1 · 13/08/2021 21:05

Leave. And leave the phone open at the messages so he knows exactly why you've left....

ExpressDelivery · 13/08/2021 21:05

But he did see you again?

It depends what you mean by telling his friend what you got up to. If that means we went to the pictures and had dinner that's fine and it's entirely possible that the not my type thing is just something said to put friend off the scent.

If he's shared any intimate details, I'd be off.

WhoNeedsaManOfTheWorld · 13/08/2021 21:06

Just walk out

Bagelsandbrie · 13/08/2021 21:06

Eek.

Leave the screen on “I wish you well” on Spotify and leg it!

NameChange74567 · 13/08/2021 21:06

Phone a taxi and leave.

RoseGold24 · 13/08/2021 21:06

Has anything changed i.e. his mind since he sent those texts? Him cooking and leaving you his phone seems pretty positive? Maybe just be honest and say you saw the message and if he still feels that way just stop wasting your time.

Disneycharacter · 13/08/2021 21:06

Leave. Sounds like he's softening you up for sex and then will dump you. So so common here

SandAndSea · 13/08/2021 21:06

I would call a taxi and leave.

This. Definitely this.

How many ways is it to leave your lover?

StillWeRise · 13/08/2021 21:07

yeah- if he's just saying 'not my type' have a migraine, leave then block
if he is entertaining his friend and/or boasting about sex you have had together, call a taxi and while you wait for it show him the texts and tell him he needs to learn some respect, leave and block

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 13/08/2021 21:07

I wouldn’t even make excuses.

The phone would be left on the screen in question. And I would be off.

Mummytea24 · 13/08/2021 21:07

What if he has warmed to you even though not his type. See the date out & just see what happens but with the text in mind
