Every date you go on comes to an end and while saying your goodbyes may not be as easy as it sounds, these hints can help you end your date successfully. However the date goes, terribly or amazingly well, you need to ensure you finish in the right way.
Honesty is the best policy!
You will know after some time together how well your date is going. If half way through you find you just aren’t having fun and feel there’s no chance of things improving, politely bring an end to the evening and tell your date you have an early start the next morning. They will know why you are saying this and will take the hint. If you prefer not to tell a little white lie, simply say you’ve had a nice evening but feel you are not really a match. Every date is not going to be a success for either party and your date will appreciate your honesty.
Don’t leave them hanging.
If you know you don’t want a second date and have no intention of seeign them again, don’t let them think there’s a chance. If you have no plans to call, don’t let them believe you will. It is far better to tell them how you feel, simply that you don’t think you are suited, rather than leave them waiting for days and weeks to talk to you again.
Ask for a second date.
Did the date go well? Would you like a second date? If you think yes, then ask to see them again. Don’t pressure but give them your number before you leave and if they are interested you should hear from them.
Shake hands or kiss?
It’s the end of the date and you are saying goodbye, what should you do? Hug, shake hands, kiss? You should have a sense of the mood from the date and if it’s not gone so well a hand shake will surfice. if you the date went well and you think they are keenm give them a kiss on the cheek, or if it went very well a kiss on the lips… you’ll soon know by their response if you have misinterpreted the situation or not.
Don’t give up.
The first date is only the start and if it wasn’t as good as you hoped don’t give up. It takes time to get to know each other and while not every first date will lead to another, if it went fairly well a second chance may bring more success. You may have both been nervous on the first date and come a second should be able to relax more.
Let’s be friends.
Whatever you do don’t end the date asking if you can be friends. You are both meeting for romance and being mates is not going to be a good ending, especially if they liked you. They won’t be wanting to hear about your future dates, so best to end politely and say your goodbyes.
