Own up to it
Marriage, sex, and relationship therapist Courtney Geter insists that honesty is the best policy, even when it’s awkward. “I never recommend lying to anyone else, especially if it’s for certain you farted,” Geter warns. “Yeah, in a dark and crowded movie theater you can pretend it was the person in front of you or the baby behind you. However, there are some times when denying is just not possible. Now, you not only become the person who farted on a date, but also the person who can’t tell the truth! Not a good way to start a relationship off.”
