So you're on a horrible date. You have no attraction to this other person whatsoever. There's long pauses, awkward moments. To sum it all up, you are miserable. But you already committed to dinner and a movie, and your meal has not even reached the table!
Is there a way to gracefully get out of such a thing?
Next time, commit to dinner, no movie. Keep it short until you get to know the person.
I ended a date once at the bar before we even sat down to dinner. I could not stand the guy. He was getting on my nerves big time, and I just wanted to go home and put my sweatpants back on. I finally said, "Look, thanks so much for inviting me out, but I'm not feeling any sort of love connection here, and I don't want to waste any more time."

My problem is I don't want to hurt the other person's feelings. But kudos to you for having the balls to say something like that.
I think you are right, keeping it short and sweet is the way to go. Maybe commit to something like coffee and let him know ahead of time you have something to do after.
If you don't want to hurt the dude's feelings, then enlist a friend to call you during your date so in case it's a flop, you can bail. Just tell the guy that your friend's boyfriend just broke up with her and she really needs you to be with her because she's feeling miserable.
i think people should just be more honest. if you have a freind call to bail you out, the other person might call you again wondering when you will try to go out again.
just say something like:
"i'm sorry, but i just dont feel like we are very compatible, are you feeling it too? well then thanks and good luck."
That is correct. You've just been bit by the Wolf. Now you know your place.
