[b](As Saint asked if we girls ever really do this - YES, here's the proof!)[/b] The potential dream date has turned dour, a fact that not even a rib-eye steak and a bottle of merlot can soothe. If only the cellphone would ring. Please. Your message has been heard. And answered. Technology and romance have melded again, but this time, it's a lifesaver, not a matchmaker. Cellphone giant Cingular has launched a service that allows customers to schedule a rescue call to ring during a date. The aptly named Escape-a-Date doesn't just ring like a hotel wake-up call, it offers a (somewhat) palatable excuse — and a chance for beleaguered daters to show off their thespian skills. The prerecorded Cingular message isn't just a simple ring. It provides one of eight various excuses to dump the dud. Here's a sample script: Hey, this is your Escape-a-Date call. If you're looking for an excuse, I got it. Just repeat after me, and you'll be on your way! "Not again! Why does that always happen to you? . . . All right, I'll be right there." Now tell 'em that your roommate got locked out, and you have to go let them in. Good luck! Dating experts see this not only as a way to end an unpleasant evening, but a precautionary measure. They already suggest you have someone call during a date. |

It's $5 a month. Iwouldn't pay $60 a year for that. My friends are well-trained.

So, does this bode well for me that none of my dates' roommates have ever been locked out mid-date then? lol

Traditionally, I don't use the roomie is locked out strategy. I have a multitude of other 'exits' in my pocket though. You never know... ;)
