Below are tips on getting out of a date like this without it being too awkward, no matter what the problem.

Plan it to be short. A drink, a cup of coffee, a walk in the park with your dogs, these are all dates that would take less than an hour. No more four hour first dates.

Tell him you need to be somewhere. Don't make it a big deal, but if you have hesitation about this guy, tell him something believable like you have to go to a friend's birthday party later. Whether it's before the date or within the first few minutes of the date, make it known.

Desert? None for me. If you want the date to be over, don't agree to more.

Tell him he's rude, if he is. No matter what you do, total jerks will be total jerks. So if he offends you, it's ok to let him know you're not interested. If he says after 20 minutes, "Who you hooking up with?" You can and should respond with "I'm not interested in anyone hooking up with anyone right now. "

No saying you'll call. If you don't agree to call, then he'll hopefully get the point and not call you either. It is ok to just say you wish him the best and it was nice meeting him.

Shaking his hand. No hugging or kissing required if you don't like him. This is a perfect indicator that there won't be a second date.
