When dating seems to take up most of your time, many singles in the dating game will experience at least one bad date. We have all been on that date where the person is extremely rude or disrespectful. How do you handle this kind of date?
First, if you are dating people who are discourteous or impolite, you should reconsider your date selection and pick better people to date. Maybe you are finding your dates in the wrong places. Reconsider what friends may be introducing to your date. Most likely, if your friend can sometimes be rude, their friends can too.
Next, if for some reason you end up on a date with a person who does not meet your criteria, just end the date. One bad date is not the end of the world.
As long as you keep your cool then kindly get up and leave. If the person is extremely rude, you might as well be rude in return. Make sure to just leave them behind and move on. It is a waste of your time to dwell on the situation, especially if you are well mannered and kind.
