You’ve used an online dating service to set up a first date and it’s not going to happen. You never should have trusted a girl with the “bathroom” pictures. She looks a lot older than she did on the computer screen, can’t hold an interesting conversation, and won’t stop talking about marriage. So you’ve already given her your offer, but now just want to slip quietly into the night like it never happened…
Nope. Not gonna happen. A girl will NEVER buy this on a first date. Unlike most men, females are experts at reading body language. It’s in their nature to analyze every aspect of a situation. Plus, it’s the oldest trick in the book–that is, unless a woman herself does it.
Explicitly state that an unplanned circumstance occurred at work and that you need to address it immediately. Don’t give any details, apologize for the inconvenience, and explain that with your success come situations like these.
If you feel that the date is going nowhere fast, then start talking about your relationship with women. And no, we don’t mean bragging about your previous exploits. (You want to come off as sensitive and not a “player.”) Talk about bad breakups, your mother, or other women in the room–basically, talk about any other woman but your date. By confiding in her and asking for her insight, she will get the impression that you view her as a friend, not a romantic lover.
If you are not interested at all, do not give her a reason to think otherwise. Don’t sweet talk her into your bed, don’t kiss her goodnight, and don’t tell her you will call. Say that you enjoyed the evening, thank her for her time, and leave it at that. She will figure out the rest.. You can now go home and log into your online dating website and look for another date.

How to Deal with Dating Disputes?

All personalities and perspectives are welcome on the blog, while personal attacks and name calling are not. It’s inevitable that there will be disagreements but let’s handle it as mature adults with class to keep the dialog constructive and respectful. Please refer to the “Blog Etiquette” page on the WhatsYourPrice blog.
I can spot old pictures by the old fashion the men wear. You can spot a polaroid a mile away!
But just because someone is older than they look in their photos doesn’t mean they aren’t still attractive and interesting…I’ve met several men who were, and it really didn’t matter to me…we still had a good time!
Yes, some men are more photogenic then others. I have met a few that have looked way more handsome in person!
I’d prefer older men to younger men. They are more successful, know what they want in life and know how to treat a lady with respect…well most of them anyways
Not the older guys i meet. They turned into bigger power hungry tools!
I believe that it is better to just be upfront about it.
We are all adults here.
Why sit there and make excuses to that person?
One of your rules is to NEVER lead that person on, but that is exactly what you are doing when you are making excuses to leave the date, lol!
I believe that we can all appreciate honesty and although we may not like it at first because its going to hurt, we will definitely be able to thank that person later on!
Why not just be honest? Say, “You know, this doesn’t seem to be going anywhere,” or “Thanks for meeting me, but I don’t think this is working,” and call it a night. Of course, if you are the one who’s accepted money you have an obligation to stick it out. But if you are the one paying, and if you have paid, you can say thanks for the date and good luck, and goodbye. And of course give her a ride home if that was part of the arrangement.
