No need for that “Emergency Call”

Sometimes a date is so bad, we’ll do anything to get out the door … alone.

The editors of Cosmo want to help readers in that quest, and have compiled a handy list of Reddit-generated date-killing lines, some for the guys, some for the ladies. Our favorites?

  • “My mom wants to come with us.”
  • “Our kids will be so cute!”
  • “You remind me of my cat.”
  • “I’m going to French kiss you as soon as I finish this cigar.”
  • “Let’s make this quick because I have another date in an hour.”
  • “You didn’t tell anyone you came here, right?”
