You could always sprint out of the car before he even puts it in park. Screaming like a banshee.

Seriously, don't even wait for there to be awkwardness. When he stops the car, say, "thank you for dinner, see you around." Do so with your hand already on the door handle so you don't have to fumble for it. Get out as you're saying it.

I would say that "see you around" would simply suggest that perhaps you will run into him in the grocery store in the future, but it certainly won't be an intentional act! If that doesn't drop a hint, I don't know what would.

The best dates I've ever had were with these guys who would just give me a friendly hug, or a handshake. I don't like getting kissed or pawed by someone I barely know. Now, one night stands are a different story altogether!

............ And in retrospect if your date is the nasty breath guy I'd definately forego the kiss......

Default A shake is just a shake?

Does a handshake ever NOT mean thanks but no thanks? I was very surprised to get one of these at the end of a first-time internet date that seemed to be going pretty well. If not for the shake, would have definitely called again for a second, now not so sure.

This way, it doesn't give anyone too much time to think about how to end the date. I think the fact that I let several seconds go by without doing that on my last date is what led to the awkwardness. I always thought the handshake was rather formal and business-like but I guess all of you agree that this is the best way!

Well, I am a hug guy. I like to give a nice hug.

Anyways, you can always do the old turn and cough method if they try to come in for a kiss. Then shake their hand with the hand you coughed in.

Nay...I'm kidding.

I like the gals who would just jump at me with a hug and just say thanks for the fun time. That's ALOT better than a hand shake. Even my sister gives me hugs. You know?

I don't mind kissing a guy that is hot and has great lips on a first date.

I always gave g'bye hugs to dates I wanted to keep platonic. Handshakes are for first meetings, guys, clients, and dogs (canines). If it was a good date I'd fix them breakfast and say g'bye with a lip-locker.

Edit: I just noticed this was an old thread. /:

Guys rarely try and kiss me on first dates....I must give the wrong signals. I went out with this guy once who was pretty cute and I had to give him a hug. I don't really know what he was going to do...wave goodbye from a safe distance I guess. Needless to say, he never called me again....only the ugly ones call me again...story of my life!

Default hand shake

I recently had a coffee date that I thought went very well. At the end of the date he compliments my jacket and shakes my hand. I had sent him a text saying thank you and it was a pleasure meeting you. He had replied welcome. I never received a call back nor a text after that.
