You’ve gone online and found yourself a woman who seems perfect for a hookup. She’s not looking for anything long-term, she’s your type, and she’s ready to go as soon as possible. You set the date and time, now all you have to do is wait. But what if you end up meeting and having a horrible time? Just because she agrees to have sex with you doesn’t mean that it will all be lollies and sunshine. You’ve got to have some backup plans just in case things go south and you have to get out fast.

The Old Fashioned Phone Call

Do not be afraid to tell a friend that you’re about to go out with someone and that you need a backup plan. The beauty of our modern age is that cell phones and texting run rampant and you can access them no matter where you are. Keep your mobile phone around and text a certain bro who can call you and get you out of there. The best method is to go for some story that is as believable as possible. The moment you start feeling iffy about her, text him a keyword. It should be something inconspicuous in case she somehow sees your cell phone. He can call with a story of car trouble or injury to save the day. Say that you have to reschedule and then never do it.

The Gentleman

You won’t always be able to tell that things are going wrong until you get to her place. Maybe she has a ton of taxidermy owls or pictures of her old boyfriends. Whatever is throwing you off, pull The Gentleman. Despite being sexual when you’ve talked previously, that doesn’t mean that you’re going to just be that kind of guy and put out on a first date. When you get to talking tell her that you actually enjoyed your time together so much that you’re finding that you really feel something going on. You would hate to ruin that by getting too far ahead of yourself and making things physical too early. For now you’ve enjoyed the conversation and it’s time to head home. From there on assure her that you’ll call another day and head out. She may be confused by the way you switch tones, but she won’t pressure you into sex.

When Worst Comes to Worst

Who knows what the worst is until you see it. For whatever reason, you may find yourself in a situation where you simply have to get out now. It could be that you’re in danger thanks to a hidden boyfriend or she’s definitely not what she appeared to be online. Whatever the case is, just leave. There is absolutely nothing holding you where you are and if you choose to leave then that is your right. Even if you’re on a dating site and hooking up with women through there, they can’t do anything to your for standing them up. Plus it’s very unlikely that you’ll be deemed a jerk by too many since she’s not in your real life social circle.
