How to Get Rid of a Loser Date - For Him

You weren't expecting your date to be such a loser! How do you dump her without making a scene? Make it her choice. Disclaimer: Actually following this advice could make you feel like a loser yourself. If you want to be classy and kind, this may not be the best strategy.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
Be strategic - different losers require different techniques. Some take more time than others to get the hint.
Step2
Read poetry to her - get emotional. T. S. Eliot's "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" is a good place to start because it isn't very long, yet quickly becomes annoying.
Step3
Bore your date. Talk about sports, cars, video games or your job. If she shows even a remote interest after five minutes (you have to allow for politeness), switch to another topic on the list. Talk about your ex, even if you don't have one.
Step4
Discuss only yourself. Monopolize the conversation, and if she offers any personal information, brush it aside and say, "Oh yeah? Well I ' "
Step5
Tell jokes. Tell them so that she isn't sure they're jokes. If she laughs at any of them, switch to offensive jokes. The idea is to make her question her decision to go out with you. After all, you seemed like a nice guy.
Step6
Call her Toots, Babe, Mamma or Chickie. Drop Cheerios in her purse when she isn't looking.
Step7
Demonstrate your worst table manners. Ask, "Do you want that?" and take food from her plate before she answers. If she protests, point out that it's your food - you're paying for it, after all.
Step8
Make her uncomfortable. Stare at her neck. Smirk at her. Tell her, "I had this scaly thing once, but they removed it."
Step9
Embarrass her. Scratch yourself with abandon. Belch loudly and with great gusto. Fan the air and say, "Whoooee, Baby, you need to lay off the dairy products!"

on 5/26/2007 As the author of this particular eHow article (back in 1999), I want to point out that it was written tongue-in-cheek, for entertainment purposes. It seems to me that this article has inspired a lot of discussion concerning respect for self and others and while I wholeheartedly agree, I'm afraid you have missed the point. And to those of you who offered up additional suggestions, kudos!

on 8/8/2006 These tips work. However, it's best to just be up front with your date; tell her that there's no hope for romance between the two of you. Keep your integrity. She'll respect you more; she may be a better friend than a date.

on 8/8/2006 If you do get around to letting her talk, pretend not to understand anything she says. In fact, go the opposite way. Whatever she says totally misinterpret it.

on 8/8/2006 Finish the date, but as early as practicable. Take her home. Don't go in (gee, it's an early day tomorrow!). And whatever you do, do not promise to call her.

on 6/30/2006 Tell her you have kids and offer to show her a picture of them in your wallet. If you haven't thought ahead and have a picture of some kids handy, then tell her you must've left the picture in your other wallet (with your wedding ring - if needed).
