Dine and Run
You know those days when you get a call and the conversation goes something like this: "Hey, this is so and so, I was thinking we should do dinner sometime?" You answer, "Yes, of course, we should catch up. When should we go?" You continue to have a conversation until you both come to an agreement on when, where, and what time you should meet. Sometimes you are even really looking forward to going and hanging out with this person, and sometimes, you are already beginning to wonder how you can pull and dine and run. Well, as I have much experience in the dine and run area, here are a few ideas.
Idea Number One: Show up with a date. Seriously, pick some random person that you sort of know-ish, and invite them to dinner. Then proceed to call and ask if it's ok if you bring them along. Truly it works. They feel obligated to let them come, and usually dinner is cut short as the person you intended on meeting doesn't really want to hang out with random person.
Idea Number Two: Show up with tissues and cough drops in your pockets or purse. During the course of the dinner you must blow your nose repeatedly, and cough enough to constantly have a cough drop in your mouth which in turn will make it difficult to talk, and so therefore cutting things off as they can't understand a word you say. I can't believe how many people fall for this every single time. I think it's hilarious. After a time you would think they wouldn't want to hang out with someone who is seemingly sick all the time.
Idea Number Three: Fake a family emergency. Here's how this works: You ask either a really good friend or a family member to call you part way through the dinner and if things are going well, you simply brush of the call like nothing is wrong. If dinner is not going so well, you cry family emergency or crisis at home, and ta-da, you are out of the dinner. This works great too, but I would use this one sparingly.
Yup, and that's how you get out of a dinner you don't really want to be at. Suggestion, don't use the last one at a family reunion. That doesn't go over very well.
I hope this post has made you all laugh, as for the most part it is a joke, but they do actually work. Have a great night everyone!
