ok, off-topic, but still--a good question.

Probably deserves to be a thread of its own, really. There are situations... but how it is handled is key. I'm a believer in always taking the high road. If something along the lines where my date started using, lets call it racially insensitive language, I could see myself saying after a drink that I just don't think we're compatible and it is best if we just call it an evening and leave it at that. I've thankfully not been in that situation that I can recall.

I agree with that. Someone behaving so boorishly that you can't imagine sitting there for one more minute is different than the OP's situation. Finding out a piece of information that proves an incompatibility on an otherwise pleasant date isn't grounds for flouncing off in a huff.

Doesn't understand social mores.

Yeah - if someone is rude, offensive, racist, etc. - I can understand walking out. I never went out with someone I didn't know well enough to know that we were going to be fairly compatible - so it was never an issue when I was dating.

Stress this is nothing devious; she can meet you anywhere she feels safe.

Pretty girls who know they're pretty LOVE to have their pictures taken. You flatter them just by saying you'd like to include them in your portfolio. After enough "exposures" one of these girls will see past the photog thing and warm to you.

I GUARANTEE IT!
Lmao. C'mon now! What guy is going to buy a 4k DSLR camera, spend time taking photography courses and print fake business cards for a slight chance that a woman might warm up to him?

CREEEEPPY!!!

I read a book where the author recommended women buy a dog and walk it in high-end neighborhoods to meet a man of means. It's not just men who come up with ruses like this.

I can think better ways to spend my time and money on trying to meet woman than to come up with an elaborate scheme as one the poster mentioned.
