How to bail out of a date gone bad if you suspect the person is a pervert or a weirdo.

- Fake an emergency:
- Excuse yourself from the table to wash up. Take your cell phone with you or go to a phone out of your date's line of vision. Get the number of the restaurant or establishment you are at.
- Call a friend or relative for help. Tell them to call you and have you paged. Make a personal, business, or family emergency.
- Leave quickly before your date can protest. Apologise, but refuse any attempt to have your date accompany you.
- Slip away unnoticed:
- Identify your escape route.
- Plan to alter your appearance (Hide your distinctive features).
- Excuse yourself from the table. (To get to a rest room to make your disguise)
- Add or remove garments.
- Change your walk and posture.
- Use or remove cosmetics (for women).
- Change hairstyle or color.
- Adopt a cover role (pretend to be a waiter or maintenance worker)
- Mave your move (and do not look at your date)
- Slip out the window (if you can't slip away unnoticed by disguise):
- DON'T USE A FIRE EXIT! It may be alarmed.
- Locate a usable window (preferably in the bathroom).
- Attempt to open it.
- Absolute WORST Case: Lock the door and break the window with either a waste paper basket or paper towel dispenser. Strike the center of the glass and punch away any shards with a jacket or cloth covered fist.
- Make your escape.
- Get your date to leave:
- Say something offensive. (If your date is of a particular religion or ethnicity make an inapproprate comment)
- Behave inappropriately. (Pretend to sleep, talk on cellphone, chew with mouth open - anything goes!)
- Send your date on a fool's errand. Say you will meet him or her at a certain place, say that in fifteen minutes, you'll have a friend waiting at a crowded club and for them to go ahead and reserve a place. Then never show up.
