1. Throw up on them.

:shrug:

I dunno, I haven't dated in 15 or so years. No prospects on my horizon either.

2. Faking a Grand Mal seizure tends to work well.

Or, at least it separates out the freaks.

3. Extreme flatulence.

Always carry a few woopie cushions in your back pocket. No, you can NOT use them for rubbers. That's what the dispenser in the men's room is for.

4. Stare at her intensely and ask her if she's ever killed someone

That should end it pretty quickly.

5. Stand up and call from the other side of the restaurant...

"Waiter - Bring me the check. I need to take this wench home and play 'hide the sausage' and I'm already primed and ready. Nice footwork, babe."

I think that would do the trick. You might not be allowed back in the place, but it should either take care of the problem or get you laid.

10. Ewwww, that reminds me

We were sitting around on the floor at a table in a Moroccan restaurant, shoeless of course..and my step-father thought my foot was my mother's and started playing footsie with me!

6. Honesty...

then I leave.

"I'm sorry, I'm just not as into you as I thought I would be. Did you see where my pants landed?" (I'm just kidding about that last part. Really, I do tell them that it's not working for me, I overpay the waiter on my way out the door so the date can have a few extra drinks and the server is well-tipped...then I leave. No need to draw out an uncomfortable situation or leave any ambiguity.)

7. In a crowded restaurant, yell "FIRE! EVERYBODY OUT! DEAR GOD, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE"

Then I'd get lost in the crowd and she'd be calling my name, "Amerigo! Amerigo!" but I'd already be halfway home, listening to some cool tunes on my CD player and thinking about the next conquest.

8. I tell them "My friends think I'm creepy"

or maybe "You look real purty when you sleep" or similar.

Just kidding.

9. I just tell her I'm married

Then she says "I know, jackass, I'm your wife. Stop acting like a total git."

13. True Story: One of my friends went out to dinner

While they were eating the date announced she had to go to the restroom. After a substantial amount of time had passed, my friend called her on his cellphone. She announced that she had gotten tired and had gone home.

I think that was pretty effective.

14. Similar thing happened to me...

I picked her up at her office. We were walking to my car to go out to dinner, and she said "hold on, I just need to get something out of my car first." Then she got in her car and drove away. I called and left a voice mail message in the nicest voice I could muster that said, "Hi. Just called to say I hope you made it home safely." Figured I'd throw her a curve ball with kindness.

She apologized the next day, but there was no attempt at a rain check.
