He is the one!” If you have carefully assessed that the person is not what you want then just finish the date happily without regret. Set your time to a minimum – Don’t date the whole day. The excitement to see you again will be lost. Leave – If your date shows rudeness to you then why continue? Walk away with head’s up high

Know the Don’ts

Don’t assume – Be straightforward. Reiterate to your date that you’re a transgender even if he/she knows it already
