| No, that is rude. Stay a half hour and pay for the drinks unless you feel unsafe. |

| If she's just awkward and odd, I would stick it out for the a little while. And, there's like a 1% chance that she actually had a good reason for being wacky (she was suddenly feeling ill, just went through some expected trauma just before teh date, etc.). |

I would usually recommend staying to converse w/the person since it can't hurt to make a new friend out of the situation at the very least.
However if she couldn't even look at you, that would be reason enough to leave & not look back. That is just weird. |

Don't pay for her drink, she can pay for her own drinks. Dating is not your gravy train. |

| She may have been acting that way because she is nervous. Just stick it out and leave. No need to be rude. Or mean. |

| Unless she was obviously high or drunk or wildly offensive or you felt physically threatened, I think staying for the one drink or cup of coffee (45 minutes max) is polite. |

+1 I had one "horrible date" with a really nice woman who was friendly and pretty accomplished - a long long long dinner where we were both obviously a little awkward, nervous, etc. One of my favorite restaurants, but it seemed interminable. After that I only ever made first dates for short activities: a drink, coffee. Something which could be naturally over in <30min - you can always go long if you prefer. Unless someone is really scary, then I think it's harsh to just ditch right off. I have sat through a drink with plenty of women I knew I wasn't even remotely attracted to at first sight, long before the verbal vomit started. |
