The wonderful world of dating is a tough one to navigate. When it’s good it’s great but when it’s bad it’s so very very bad. Sometimes it’s best to quit while you can. You have a few options here: bolt for the front door, take a daring jump out the bathroom window or fake a call from your flatmate telling you your cat’s been run over. If you’re a bit unsure of when it’s time to get the hell out of there, we’ve complied a handy list of 30 signs it’s time to end your date. Happy dating, Listers!
