d. Lie. If you don’t want to hurt the person’s feelings it
is better to lie and make up a reason to leave than to
stay and be uncomfortable, scared, or worse. Some
excuses you could use are: needing to take care of
a friend or family member, not feeling well, having
somewhere else that you need to be, etc.

16. Try to think of an escape route. How would you try to get
out of the room? Where are the doors? Windows? Are there
people around who might be able to help you? Is there an
emergency phone nearby?

17. If you and/or the other person have been drinking, you can
say that you would rather wait until you both have your full
judgment before doing anything you may regret later.
