This uses a reversal technique - look for an indicator word that suggests switching, reversing, or changing the order of words or letters.
The word 'switched' is your indicator for reversal. Look for a two-word phrase in the clue that can be reversed (switched around) to create the answer. The phrase relates to romantic encounters or appointments.
Answer: OUT-TAKES | 'Switched' indicates reversal - TAKES OUT ('dates') with the two words switched around gives OUT-TAKES (scenes that don't make it into the final film).
