Don't bother to tell them anything ... just run screaming from the building. That should give them a hint!

When you can squeeze a comment in that is! | |

It was our first time meeting. Halfway through her coffee, rose and said "You know, I just don't think we're a good match" and left.
I did that once....and I still remember why I did it....
Naw. Takes more than that to upset me.
I think you know what you did...
I normally am gracious and upfront, but, as both genders know...there are people that just don't hear ya....
So...a delightful thread like this comes along for us to play in it with our idealistic ways to disarm someone...it's light and has some dark comedy...go with it.
It's a break from fighting...and gets us laughing... | |

Posted: 6/16/2009 8:43:01 PM | Why do so many people feel the need to resort to childish games? This is the second thread I've seen lately to this effect.
It's really not hard. I have a really hard time with worrying about hurting somone's feelings, so I would never be able to reject someone to their face without feeling really bad. Soooo...I have a system that I follow. I almost always refer to the first get together as a meet, planning on coffee, or something simple, and not planning on more than a half hour. I also do enough emailing in advance, that we already feel like friends, and let them know that if nothing else comes of the 'meet', we will at least have made a friend. I don't discuss ANYTHING during the meet about how I feel...of course, if they offer to take it further right after the meet and I agree, it's obvious that it went well. Otherwise, I leave and when I get home, I send an email thanking them...and that's when I say, "but I don't think we are a match"...or....if I want to see them again, just end it with"...and I had a wonderful time" or something to that affect.
How hard is that?

Posted: 6/16/2009 9:31:52 PM | Picking your nose is a good one. If he's talking incessantly about his car, you can say "Oooooh, I love expensive cars! Can I drive it? Is it paid for? How much do you owe on it? Do you have enough money left over for other things?" Turn it financial and watch him run LOL.
Guys, if you're stuck with a non-stop Chatty Cathy, you could pick out your belly button lint, examine it closely and collect them in your napkin....or ogle every girl's a$$ that walks by the table. Develop Tourette's?

Some women that are not blessed with good looks, but have poise and great attitude are sure winners in a man's heart... | |

The way of the shinobi is to be honest.
If the young samurai is not to your liking, when you are leaving the sushi house with him, gracefully avoid eye contact and tell him that you wish him luck in his journeys.
One must save face, but also have manners.
Without manners, we would all battle and die.
That is all.

Posted: 6/17/2009 9:59:08 AM | Ummm..unless you're just into getting a free meal...cut things short and leave.
Make up an excuse...or tell him the truth...
Either way end the date and go home...or wherever
Since it's only happened to me a few times,I would rather be told upfront than later.
And,honestly,OP...after three bad dates...isn't starting look like more YOU than THEM as being the issue? | |

Posted: 6/18/2009 1:43:14 PM | | umm..body lanquage works for me or just telling him..I had a date Monday with a guy I wasn't the least bit attracted to on a physical level. He wanted to buy me dinner..the date was initially "drinks" his idea..but once we met he asked me if I wanted dinner. I declined although I COULD HAVE taken advantage of him and gotten my meal paid for. But I knew it was going no where so I declined. He walked me to my car we said our thank-yous etc. and that was it. Haven't heard from him...he got it. | |

Posted: 6/18/2009 2:16:52 PM | | Problem with the pick approach In other words, what if a great potential new partner is sitting over at the bar enamoured with you, wondering what you're doing with that blockhead and he sees you pick? remember what happened to Seinfeld when the blonde thought his scratch was a pick! Next time just get up and say sorry, not you and leave. pull off the bandaid! besides picking your nose and snorting? yuck | |

Posted: 6/18/2009 3:52:24 PM | Be direct then your date would have to work on his convo' skills or make the same mistake again and get the same results. How is a guy/dater supposed to improve his dating skills without some direct feedback?

Posted: 6/18/2009 4:06:46 PM | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Do what biker chics and guys do. Put your finger on the opposite nostril, press it closed, then blow. The luggy will fly about 6 feet away. Then repeat by closing the other nostril, blow.
We here in corn country call that the farmer blow
answer your cell with...................I know it is time for my probation appointment.........but I can't make it right now, I have a prospective mark here with me.
or
Yes Doctor so and so, I understand I missed my sex change counseling appointment, but I might have met someone that could change my mind on that matter. | |

Posted: 6/19/2009 1:07:31 PM | Dceeeee When you have to change your number and make it unlisted because a guy doesnt get it then you might understand what some of these people are talking about.
1/2 a dozen emails, 1 phone call, and one meet later, I politely told him it was a no go. I told him during the meet, in a response to his email and to about 1/2 dozen of his phone calls(1/2 of which were in the wee morning hours and he appeared to be under the influence).
Yes I was stupid enough to have made the 1st call not realizing he could pick up my phone number from my call. In all of his calls he laughed about how he got it and how stupid I was...Even though my phone number was one of my major ways of getting work I changed it. The police said that I could only do something if he was threatening me, stalking my home or if it continued after a phone number change.(And yes I have changed how I do things on dating sites immensely. )
I have actually enjoyed reading the responses in this thread. Its given me a bit of a chuckle.... | |
