Example: Eye tic. Blinking a lot. Biting nails. Licks lips (not sensually). Bloodshot eyes (warning: potential drug use OR workaholic). Any other signs that said person is living in a cave and/or has incurable nervous condition that induces real sympathy.
Suggestion: mention from the beginning of the date that you have to meet friends for a late dinner, down two glasses of wine so you can at least justify the commute there, check purse or phone semi-frequently so you come off as an unworthy date, make two trips to the bathroom in order to break up the conversation flow, and then try to go dutch. I promise: it will help ease some of the guilt.
