Tricks & Treats

Dating can be a nightmare. There will always be friends that will try to set you up on a blind date. This is how you may find yourself on a blind date with a scary liar, a creepy pervert or just a plain ol' witch. 

First you have that moment when you ask yourself "how did I end up on a date with this creature?". Well, do not let yourself transform into a monster as well. The trick here is to get out of this scary situation as soon as possible.

Tricks & Treats on how to escape from the clutches of a horrific blind date.

Trick: "Mysterious Caller" Always have a friend call you within an hour of you meeting with your blind date to check up on you.

Treat: You can claim for that to be an emergency call and you must leave immediately. Thank your date, say it was nice meeting them and escape.

Trick: "The Monster Mash" Invite random new people at the bar or table next to yours to join you, first round is on you.

Treat: He is no longer sitting within arms reach and will keep his creepy claws off you. Also, you just made some new friends.

Trick: "Houdini's Disappearing Act" This is a last resort if nothing else is working. Excuse yourself, walk to the bar, pay the tab, exit and walk straight to your vehicle. 

Treat: You are on your way home without a beast by your side.

Always have an escape plan. It's best to be respectful and try to cut the date short politely and say thank you and go home. Yet, with blind dates, we are not always given this chance. Sometimes you just need to run for your life. Happy Halloween daters.

Happy dating and thanks for following Marisa's Misadventures.
