It's safe to say many of us have had to endure an awkward date or two in the past.

However, sometimes that awkwardness can turn more sinister and we can feel scared or unsafe while meeting with someone we don't really know.

It's never nice to be in that situation, and to be honest, once that panic sets in, all you can think about is running far, far away.

Well, in Lincolnshire in the UK, the council have started a #NoMore campaign to help anyone who is in need of a way out of an uncomfortable situation.

The council and Lincolnshire Rape Crisis have teamed up and put up posters around bars, pubs and clubs in the area which advise people what to do if they're in need of help.

The sign reads: "Hi I'm Angela. Are you on a date that isn't working out? Do you feel like you're not in a safe situation? Is your Tinder or PoF date not who they said they were on their profile? Does it all feel a bit weird?

"If you go to the bar and ask for 'Angela' the bar staff will know you need some help getting out of your situation and will call you a taxi or help you out discreetly – without too much fuss."

A few bars and pubs have already rolled out something similar to this, but Lincolnshire is the first place to spread it across the whole county.

Would you like something like this to be implemented in Ireland?
