Ladies and gents – we've all been there.

Whether you're stumbling home from the bars or "Netflix and chilling", sometimes you end up in a situation you rather not be in. Maybe it was the bad lighting in the bar or the flirty, misinterpreted texts that made you cave. Either way, you're stuck and it's going to take a Hail Mary to break you free. Here are some of our favorite ways to hustle your buns out of awkward situations:

1. Fall asleep

This is a sure fire way to wiggle your way out of a hookup. BUT, there's also a chance that you could actually fall asleep and actually have to do the walk of shame in the morning.

2. Gotta go do homework / 8 AM in the morning

Sometimes this is actually a valid excuse. Despite lack of better judgment, we all go out when we should really stay in. If you use this excuse, you have to own it and make this mans believe that you really value your grades enough to forgo hooking up.

3. On my period

Self-explanatory!

4. Have friend fake a phone call

Perhaps the O.G. of excuses. Nothing turns a boy off quite like a crying girl, and if that crying girl happens to be your friend, he'll for sure let you go crusading into the night to save your pal.

5. My mom's here

No one has to know who specifically texted you, or who's picking you up. For all we know your momma could be here?

6. I'm gay

Majority of the time people tend to make their sexual preferences fairly obvious. Use this nasty little line to catch your unprecedented suitor off guard! Chances are he'll be taken aback and you could end up having a bro-out on his living room couch. OR, it could backfire and he could be into it. Best of luck.

7. I'm a virgin

Most of my guy pals insist that this is the worst sort of hookup you can have. Think about it. If you had the chance to fly a plane, would you rather cruise with an aerobatics expert or someone who just got their pilot's license.

8. Pretend to vomit in the bathroom

I doubt this will a turn on. Your guy will probably head for the hills or escort you home – no one wants to kiss someone who's been throwing up. (If he does, respect the grind, but politely decline).

9. I haven't shaved

Even if your highway is clear of debris, you can fib and say that you have a little cleaning up to do.

10. I'm only 16

For all he/she knows, you could be a younger sibling visiting their friend for the weekend?
