How to Recover from a Stupid Line on a Date

The reason that dating experts tell guys to listen to girls on first dates isn't because girls are more interesting -- it's because guys are WAAAY more prone to saying something STUPID.

If you are a guy, and you date, you've said something stupid before that completely turned your lady off.

Your reaction within the next few seconds will determine your romantic fate for the evening. Here's how to recover from a stupid line on a date.

  1. The first step to recover from a stupid line on a date is to immediately, and I mean even before you get the stupid line out of your mouth, admit you've messed up. This is crucial. Girls on dates know that guys will say stupid things -- that's not what gets you crossed off. It's how you handle situations.

    A simple "Whoops" and a smile is all you need.

  2. After you apologize without apologizing, (don't ever say "sorry," this sounds weak) go into crisis mode, aka, the Friend Zone. For the next 10 seconds, you are going to drop all game and treat your date like you just met her. You have makeup to do, and it must be done quickly, with no dead silences.

    Turn the tables back to her immediately. "You're so CUTE when you frown! I'm going to say stupid things more often so I can see that little pout. Let me see it again! Hold on, I think I have something else stupid to say."

  3. Edge out of the friend zone as you blunt the edge of your stupid comment with humor and wit. Touch her immediately, as soon as you can.

    "I pinky swear to you, no more banana comments all today. (Grab her pinky, look into her eyes.) But you can't say anything about my chest. Yea, I saw you staring. I'm not a piece of meat."

  4. Do not bring up the stupid comment ever again. Your reaction is more important to your date than the actual comment, and if you bring it up again or apologize profusely, she'll know you're nervous. Which means, she can't ever be in a sexual relationship with you, because you're too weak to even stand up for yourself when you make a dumb comment. So you're out of the woods. Stay out. GL.
