Asked out on dates, the French flee (9)
I believe the answer is:
skedaddle
'flee' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'asked out on dates the french' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'dates' becomes 'dd' (two abbreviations for date).
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'asked' with letters rearranged gives 'skeda'.
'skeda'+'dd'+'le'='SKEDADDLE'
(Other definitions for skedaddle that I've seen before include "Scram" , "Run off hurriedly (colloq.)" , "Bunk off quickly!" , "In slang, go away quickly, scoot" , "Scurry off" .)
