A woman has revealed the extreme lengths she went to in order to escape an uncomfortable dinner date with a man she met on a dating app. After sensing 'weird vibes' from her date, she decided to fake a fainting spell to make a swift exit.
The Setup: A Date Gone Wrong
The story was shared on the 'It's a Girl Thing' podcast, hosted by Ebony Day and Lucie Houchin. The podcast features unfiltered conversations about daily life, relationships, and embarrassing moments. In a recent episode, the hosts read a listener's tale about the 'most hilarious way she ditched a date'.
Lucie Houchin read the story aloud, recounting the woman's experience. 'I was on a date with a guy who just had really weird vibes,' the woman said. 'He kept leaning in too close, and I was just not feeling it at all.'
The Escape Plan: Faking a Faint
Feeling 'really panicky' and unable to think of a polite way to leave, the woman decided to pretend to faint. She told her date she was dizzy and needed fresh air. When he offered to fetch water, she insisted she had to go outside. Once they exited the restaurant, the man tried to reassure her, but she realized she had to 'go full on a fall to the floor' to make her escape convincing.
After 'coming round' from the faint, she got up and said, 'I really need to go, I'll message you later.' She never contacted him again.
