8 Signs You’re Going on a Date Out of Pity (4 of 5)

6. You’re acting really saccharine

Do you feel guarded with your date? Are you choosing your words carefully? Are you acting super sweet and laughing at jokes you don’t get or stories you find pointless? On occasion this could be a sign that you actually like them and want to give them a chance, but more likely than not this fakeness that you’re exhibiting is an indication that you just don’t want to leave them feeling bad. 

7. You get easily distracted

When you’re on a date with somebody you really like, your attention remains fully on them. The conversation flows and the hours feel like minutes. When the opposite is true, the date seems to drag on forever and you find yourself looking around at the other patrons, fiddling around with your smartphone and just really looking forward to the date ending. Pity date? You betcha!
