  • Ten Signs You Need To End That Date

    Miss Polar Bear 

    Sometimes there's a point in a date, first or not, that you decide you need to leave. Perhaps it's that "SOS" text to a friend who's nearby, you accidentally got sick, you decided you actually liked the same sex, you need to walk your dog, whatever.

    I hung out with a boy I'd only been talking to for a few weeks or so. I know, I know. I'm starting a new college and the idea of making new friends was so tempting that I couldn't wait until the first day of class, so I turned to Facebook. I haven't done anything like this before, really, and it's safe to say this may be my last time trying.

    Here's a few signs that my "SOS" text to my friend should have came sooner than 6 a.m. If you find yourself in these situations, please think back to this post and run.

    1. You walk in and the first thing you notice is his use of a coffin for a coffee table and an urn for an ashtray.
    Followed by, "you can lay in it if you want." No, I'm all right, buddy. I have a few years left in me. And also, not that I judge, but you couldn't have taken a quick trip to Ikea?

    2. He's four inches shorter in person.
    I'm 5'7". I'm not shallow, but I don't like that my head rests on top of yours when we hug.

    3. You walk into his room and see almost an entire wall dedicated to ex-girlfriends.
    Ones from two years ago until the present. Why? "I like to cherish memories." Which would make sense, Facebook Dude, but they're exes who probably think you're dead by now and couldn't care less if it were true or not. Most of them cheated on you. These are cherished memories?

    4. Forget the pictures, you're shown the various tattoos about them he's gotten.
    An Eiffel tower for a girl named Paris that you didn't even date, but had a three month fling with? Two others on your back about her?

    5. A mouse jumps from the counter to behind the refrigerator and he doesn't budge.
    I know this is New York City, but at least catch the damn thing. Or blink.

    6. He analyzes what went wrong with his three month fling for two hours with you, followed by an analysis of his past four girlfriends.
    Not only is this a sure sign he's not into you so the date should end, but this also means he's borderline crazy, can't let go and is probably planning out your very own tattoo placement on his skin.

    7. You can't get a word in because all he does is discuss himself. Or he's not paying attention because he's on his phone texting.
    By all means, please invite whoever it is you're texting over...so I can book it once they come.

    8. He tells you that you're "too normal".
    I officially gave up on myself once that statement came out.

    9. He tells you he doesn't want to date anyone right now because he's already having sex with his best friend, so what else does he need?
    .........................

    10. You send out 14 "SOSOSOSOS" texts to friends, and when one finally calls you, he won't let you leave.
    Every time I asked to leave, he put the music up louder. My friend had to scream that she was "mad" at me and I needed to come see her ASAP so he would get the hint and finally take me to the subway station. This is more of a sign that there should be no second hangout.

    Another word of advice: never say your love life couldn't get worse, because then situations like this happen.

    Do you have any bad first date experiences? Has anything similiar happened to you? At one point on this date would you have realized it was time to go?
