Have you ever used a phone call to get out of a date?

Nope. I don't let myself off the hook that easy. I figure if they went to the trouble to get ready and meet me out, or me pick them up, I'm gonna see it through to the end. I may make my intentions clear if it needs be or comes up, but I'm not going to be rude. It would be ok if I felt my safety was in question tho.
