You’re on a date with someone at a restaurant when suddenly you get a bad case of diarrhea. What would you do?

Question

Maybe its the food you ate or maybe your nerves did it but you feel it come badly what do you do?

KrisPW · Accepted Answer

I would just excuse myself and take care of business. If it takes an unusual amount of time, or is date ending, I would let the date know that something didn't agree with my tummy, grab an uber if needed, and reschedule. I think planning another date would be key, to let them know that this isn't just a scheme to escape a bad date.

Where do such questions pop in your mind? Why this only? Lol Anyways I will just say, "Excuse me, I need to use the restroom". But in the first place I won't eat something bad before a date!

Here's a guy who tells us a story about how he got diarrhea while out at a restaurant with his girlfriend:

Based on this I'd: Excuse myself to the bathroom & if it takes to long I'll go back to the table & tell her: "I've sh*t myself, we've gotta leave immediately" xD -Gavin (3:37)

LovingLoverReturned · Answer

Well... I must have known I had it because I'm already in the bathroom, right?

So then, I don't think I'd be able to leave until I am settled so I would text the date saying I got ""sick"", apologize and say they can go home,. if they worry, I'll tell them I'm informing someone I know... hopefully I have someone I know LOL... meaning, what if I'm in a foreign country, just got to stay there a while.

ClaryFairchild26 · Answer

Why would I lie? Maybe there’s a bad smell! Or something! I’m sure he would know or at least say I got food poisoning and I need to go to the bathroom!
Well never happened to me tho!
I live in a very dirty country so my body got used to it ahaha

Alyssa_11 · Answer

I touch wood never get that in public lol. For some reason my body mentally rejects going to the toilet when I’m not in the comfort of my own home. Although having pains etc is common and has happened to me on a date before because I have IBS. I live with it now. It is what it is.

Guido · Answer

Be honest and tell her something you ate didn't agree with your system and you will be back as soon as you can. If it continues to be an issue, take her home and reschedule the date.

I think most women would appreciate a guy being honest as that is a quality they are looking for. If they don't appreciate it then they were not worthy of a second date anyway.

NathanDavis · Answer

I'll excuse myself for the moment... and leave my phone while it plays this

CheeseMonster · Answer

I've never had diarrhea so bad it made me take a long time in the bathroom... I would just assume it'll take about the same amount of time as normal and so there's no reason to bring it up specifically, just excuse myself to the bathroom.

TDTD123 · Answer

There are many, many things you can do in that situation... If the waiter was a jerk and the woman turned out to be an uptight bitch, I'd drop the draws and take a dump on the plate. I'd put the platter o' poo on the table and send it back to the kitchen and sue right after I offered it to her as an entre-
If I did like the joint, the waiter and the woman I'd probably just get up like any normal person with the shits and pinch my ass as I walked quickly to the bathroom.

josephinelcajon · Answer

Depends on the situation such as how well you know them and how casual. If first date and or fancy dinner I would excuse myself to the bathroom but explain "I am very sorry but, something I ate seems to be disagreeing with me"

SmokyOne · Answer

Embarrassing but it is what it is. I'd tell her the truth, I don't want her having to sit alone waiting on me and I'm not gonna lie and have her thinking either A. There's something wrong with her. Or B. That I'm a dishonest person.

Sour-rose · Answer

Seeing as I experiment with my lactose intolerance on a monthly basis, gonna tell how it is and if they still like me and wanna date me after... oh shi, is she the one?

dustybiker · Answer

Truth. “I must have eaten something that disagreed with me.” And excuse myself.

BrickBiggems · Answer

I'd descreetly set someone on fire, then use the confusion and panic to sneek to the bathroom!

DonkeyDan · Answer

Just say I've got an upset stomach and need to use the bathroom, everybody gets them no reason to be ashamed of it.

katiesmuff · Answer

I'm sure it happens and would guess in most cases (A) would be the choice used as the first thing with the hope it is quick and over in session.

menina · Answer

Voted B. There's no way that I would tell him that I was having diarrhea. That would be the end of everything...

supercutebutt · Answer

The emergency excuse.

HighlyVolatile · Answer

Hey, I'm about to shit my pants right now! Actually, this restaurant sucks. Let's bounce. But first I need to a shit.

zagor · Answer

This DID happen to me. I was already late for the date due to having to work late (for the first time in MONTHS) and I spent twenty minutes the can after a 10 minute conversation. When I got out she had left.

MissResilient · Answer

If after the first bathroom excuse you gotta go again, I’d definitely explain and try to reschedule.

TransAm85 · Answer

Razp_Sorbet · Answer

Excuse myself to the bathroom. This is normal for me, just IBS things

megabamse · Answer

Run to the Cheff and shitt on the kitchen floor since they gave me food poison

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

InvoluntaryCelibate9 · Answer

Nagatoro · Answer

I'd run to the toilet and embarrassingly shit in a public bathroom 😞

Charliefretz329 · Answer

I would tell them I need to use the restroom. Unless this isn’t one of the first dates, in which case I would give detail

Andro36 · Answer

i excuse saying I really have to pee. It is a good idea to always carry some pills. ALso, I would ask for glass of water with lemon

Dinosaursandanime65 · Answer

Use the bathroom hoping someone else didn’t leave their load in the toilet or on it and actually flushed and that it doesn’t ruin the date

Tell them the truth, and if they can't handle it, then they are not getting a second date.
