Easy, there is no need lying or acting up anything, just tell the date they are not your type. Are they hovering all over you? Tell them to back off, do it graciously. Does that mean you are rude, oh Jesus no, you are being what you are suppose to be, yourself. How to ditch a bad date?

Why lie? Why not be true to yourself and try honesty? There's no reason to be mean. One can be honest and still true to themselves. I thik it's a form of 'game-playing' and says something about a person's character if he/she has to use a lie/manipulation or 'cover' for not liking someone. I think if people were more real and genuine, without resorting to meanness, people would be much better off. ~ZZ I agree completely with Dblog.

But why you have to lie? You can tell to the personally directly what you want. It's nice to be frank, tell that person directly that you don't like him. Being true is important. Funny videos!

Make the address the local tip. Before he gets there, go through the rubbish picking up discarded, rotting flowers and make a sign saying "YOU'RE DUMPED" on the ground with them at the entrance. He should get the message, and in a not so hurtful way.. I think the best way, would probably be to send her a message with the address for a date. Make the address the local tip.

"Stalking and foul language" can and *does* still happen regardless if someone is truthful or not. And trying to make an accurate "Cause & Effect" corelation between being 'truthful', which is a characteristic of one person, and Obsessivness, which is a characteristic of another person, is not very accurate. That's like saying one should not *ever* talk to a person with Red Hair, because the last time they did that, they got robbed. Making the connection between the color of one's hair and the dangerousness of talking to them, is inaccurate. Sometimes, people will tell 'white lies' not because of not wanting to hurt another person's feelings, but because they are uncomfortable telling another person what they want or don't want. It may have very little to do with the person 'being let down', and all to do with the other not being able to be true to themselves. What may look like they don't want to 'hurt another's feelings' may indeed be a cover for their own struggle to set limits with others and say "no". I still say honesty is the best policy. One does not have to give details, and one certainly does not have to be mean, hurtful, or otherwise behave irresponsibly towards another person's feelings. And they can still do that, and be true to themselves. ~ZZ I don’t agree with that. “Stalking and foul language” can and *does* still happen regardless if someone is truthful or not.
