The 5 Best iPhone Apps to Take on a Date

Get Out of Date Free Card: Fake Calls

You're in the middle of a first-date disaster. You're bored, you're not interested, and you just want to leave. Luckily you have the perfect excuse with Fake Calls. Like the name implies Fake Calls allows you to set up a fake call to come at a certain time (or you can set it on a fly in a few seconds). Choose who you'd like to call you (Mom, The President, whatever you'd like) and you'll soon have an instant excuse. "I'd love to stay but my mom just... "



Fake Calls app for the iPhone: $.99 cents. Getting out of a bad date: priceless.

Before scheduling the date, it's all about Date Check. Every since seeing the seminal bad-relationship film "Oops, I Married an Axe-Murderer", I've realized a little money up-front can save a lot later on in counseling. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/28/background-check-iphone-a_n_302308.html

The "REAL or FAKE" app is a great first date ice breaker. http://www.realorfakeiphoneapp.com/

Pllth. I would rather save the 99 bucks. You can just set your alarm to chime your ringtone to get out of a situation. I have did this many times...

I use one of these iPhone apps when I go on a date. it makes ka-ching sound like a cash register.
This ka-ching sound drives girls crazy.

Don't forget the vibrator iPhone app. For when a girl gets home from that date that went wrong...

I remember the last time I was on a date, she got a "check-up call" from a friend about an hour in. It was so blatantly transparent and insulting that it put me off her and I never called her again. So yeah, use that "fake call" app and see how many second dates you get.

If I'm on a first date with a woman and she takes a call, that's it....... finito! I'll finish the date but NOT INTERESTED IN 2ND DATE. NO WAY, NO HOW.

Should people worry about getting to know your date personally than taking your IPhone with you? What is the point of dating people then? O.o Can I get an amen or something?

How about when on a date, leave your phone at home or have it turned off so you can be present with the other person and not have a distraction. If the date is going so so horribly (something I can't imagine) be mature and just tell the person you need to leave. Wow. How did we ever live with out cell phones and these "important" apps that go with them.

Social networking and instant communication is destroying real communication skills. If you don't believe me look at the world in which you live in. If someone is so young that they never had a date where no one had a cell phone on I feel bad for you as your missing out on a great experience weather it be good or bad. Not too long ago maybe 10 years? It was downright RUDE to go out with someone and have a cell phone on. I guess the 1000's of ads the cell phone companies run every day have convinced society that it is not rude. Oh, make that 1001 commercials. Thanks.
