Dates have their ups and downs, and first BBW dating can range from good to bad to downright ugly. But the awkwardness after the date is unbelievable. After all, you've just eaten your appetizer - surely there's a way to avoid painful entrees and desserts? But don't be afraid, if your BBW date isn't going well, "free solo" can give you some amazing - and even believable - excuses to leave the curvy dating early.
1.Another plan
Of course, you know as well as they do that you both have a 7:30 p.m. date at a restaurant for an all-night chat. But if your chubby date starts to drag, you may want to make up other plans you "forgot" to tell them. Say you agree to meet a friend later, or pretend you get up early in the morning and need some sleep. Mention you have a pet? Great. It's feeding time. You'd better start right now!
2.Feeling nauseous
You can't fight the disease, and if your plus size date isn't going well, this is a classic exit card. But if you Wolf down your appetizers and guzzle a couple of glasses of wine, it's hard to believe. Be careful when starting a BBW dating so you can skip it if it doesn't go well. Or, you can pretend to have food poisoning - as long as you're not sharing a dish with someone else...
3.(insert emergency here)
A blind date? Everyone knows it can be a bit risky, so to make sure you don't get stuck with someone who makes you cry for three hours with boredom, ask a friend for help beforehand. Set a code that if you're texting in the bathroom (or under the table, if things are really bad), they'll call you in an absolute emergency, which means you have to leave right away.
4.To be honest
Getting out of a bad chubby date can be a bit of a moral dilemma. Is it better to come up with a strange and wonderful excuse or simply tell the truth? If you're a notorious liar, don't try. Sometimes, frankly, you don't think you're the best choice on the same page. Don't tell them the truth (you don't want to give them a complicated answer) and they may even respect your honesty.
While it's understandable to feel guilty about ending a plus size dating early, if it doesn't go well, it can be good for both parties. Be prepared with these credible excuses for your next first date, but keep an open mind, even if your friend is on call in an emergency! They may not look your "type" at first, or they may not be quite what you expect, but give them a chance and you may be pleasantly surprised...
