When you are involved with someone keep informing about your whereabouts. If you are not so keen on going out alone plan it with common friends, but mould it as a get together. If you are still not so well known to each other avoid meeting at either places. Spend sometime in public restaurants or dine outs. Make yourself comfortable with enough cash in your pocket in case of sudden program of movie or have to drop back someone special. Try to eat and drink mutual things rather than forcing upon personal tastes. If some fishy problem you can always ask your friends to give a call so that you can rush out claiming emergency.

Everyone seems to do this in movies. I'm not sure I'd have the guts to do it, because I'd feel terrible for lying

Lolz somehow I can't seem to relate on these stuffs. Haven't tried avoiding someone like that but that might come in handy. XD

I can't really say that I've been in this kind of situation before, but it is always a good idea to exercise caution when you go out. It's good to be prepared for an emergency, too.

No, I have never needed to use this 'fake' phone escape plan before either.

I do agree that the majority of your early dates should be conducted in public, just for your own safety.

I've been on boring dates that I knew would lead nowhere, but, being the nice and honest person I am, I endured them to the end without any escape plans.

Oh you're good at it lissy. I'm so shy about being so frank to other boys whom I just met earlier. I hate dumping people but it's for the best and I really don't know how to say it directly.
