How to end a bad date politely

Life is made up of both good and bad experiences. Good experiences make our life joyful and easy while bad experiences teach us a thing or two about it. It is important to live all the moments equally and therefore one should learn how to react in a bad phase, especially if you are with someone. 

Imagine you are with someone on date and they turn out to be person you don’t like or the date turns out to be one of the worst dates you ever had. What are you going to do in such a situation? Well, most of us have not thought about it too. Life is unpredictable and it has its own dynamics and it is only logical and smart to be prepared to any unwanted situation that can arise on a date. It happens many times that you get a negative vibe or you think it is not going to work with the person in front of you. In such a situation, instead of carrying on wasting each other’s time, it is good to end the date in a polite way. Let’s talk about some of the ways that can help in ending the date on a polite note.

Make it clear but kind–One of the things you should do when you think the date is not working is to be honest with the person you are with. If you fake a smile on their gesture or go on with the talk, they might get a wrong idea that you are liking them which will make the result more heartbreaking for them. Therefore, it is only kind to tell the person politely that you are feeling differently about this date and maybe the vibes are not matching. After you tell them this in a kindly manner, you will feel lighter and this will make the rest of the date cool for both of you.

Be reasonable – Some people might feel rejected by your decision. It is your duty to be reasonable and polite with them. If they want a reason, just tell them that they seem to be a nice person but you think are very different from them and want different things in like. Also, if you are in the middle of a dinner, make sure to complete the dinner and ask them if they want anything, it will help in decreasing the awkwardness too.

Don’t be awkward – Telling about your feelings is not easy and it might make things awkward for both of you. In such cases, what you can do is manage the situation and take things lightly.
