Welcome to the world of cell phones. How to end a date. This is Doctor Paul, author of Boomer Girl Boomer Woman's Guide to Men and Dating and host of Ask Doctor Paul. Well you did it. You went on a date with this guy or girl and you have got to get out of this date before it's over, so how do you end the date? The cell phone. You go and say excuse me, I need to go to the restroom. You go to the restroom, you get on the phone, either by text or by voice and say help, to a best friend, a man or woman, I'm here, meet me here, I've got to ditch this date. I got to dump this date, help me out here. They will because maybe they will need to be helped out themselves sometime. That's one solution, and the person comes in and everything goes south for the person you're with be it male or female, and they know it's over because it's not going where they expected it to go. Another way is very simple. You meet with somebody and you suddenly decide I don't think I like this person, you go to a movie. They can't talk to you, they can't be ignorant, they have to sit there and watch the movie. The movie is over, I've got a headache, or I've got to get up early and go to work tomorrow or whatever excuse you may find. You go your way, they go theirs, all done, how to end a date. Nice suggestions. This is Doctor Paul, may your fantasies of today be your realities of tomorrow.
