Rejection Calls

So apparently there is a new fad in the dating scene that I like to pawn: "Rejection Calls".

Everyone knows at the end of the first date there comes a sense of closure that lets one know if future ones will continue or not (if you couldn't figure it out through the progression of the date itself). I'm reminded of that girl in "He's Just Not That Into You" when the guy says he'll call her and yet doesn't have her number and she flubbers in convo with him about the follow-up of their date. I'd say though, USUALLY one can tell if "I'll call you" is just a nice way to run away or if he truly means it.

There are multiple ways to avoid a future date: just evading the person (my fav), play the "texting"/"facebook message" game, email to say too busy, act really weird on the next date... However, apparently there is another tactic that is new: the rejection call.

It goes a little something like this: Hey ____, it was nice to meet you (this part can be omitted) but I don't want to see you (ever) again. Have a great day.

This leaves your view VERY clear and no awkward good byes or texts later and you past date will have a great day. Try it out and let me know how it goes.
