First off, we are not new at this, but I thought it would be a useful discussion to trade some tips and advice on how to get out of these potentially awkward situations.

Last night, we went on a "date" with a new couple. We absolutely adored the female half. She was charming, funny, smart, and sexy as hell. Him, though? Huge ego, drank so much that he fell over twice, wouldn't let anyone get a word in edgewise, talked about himself the entire time, etc.

The night ended when they got in their second or third fight of the night (in front of us!) and she had had enough. She was obviously mortified. Poor woman. :(

Our "go to" when we get an early sign that things aren't going well is to simply tell them that we don't generally play on a first date and then stick to our guns about that (note: he was so tone-deaf that he thought things were going really well and was shocked that we weren't going to invite them to our house!).

Anyways, that's what we did here, but we ended up sort of stuck hanging out with them for longer than we would have liked. Plus, 3 out of the 4 of us were getting along so well.

So let's hear it - how do YOU get out of these things? What are your tips?
