i know but he's been persuing me for quite some time,and he is sweet,but i have a feeling im not going to be falling head over heels for him,and it has to be like that for me or i just get bored

Be honest and say you don't feel like it's going well and you want to leave. You don't need to apologize but it wouldn't hurt for you to. "I'm sorry but I don't think this is going well for me. Thank you for your time and I wish you a good night". SOmething like that. It's a way to "escape" and be gracious about it at the same time.

"FEELINGS", are not right or wrong, they just are.
If he feels hurt (got his tender little feelings hurt because he is not getting his way
), it is his problem..
I have a baseball cap. On the front it says "NMP". On the back it says "Not My Problem"..

get a friend to ring to see how things are going if not going well you can always use this as an emergency if you have have kids could say their playing up
but only use if need be go out with the attitude that you are going to enjoy yourself don't think of it as a date but meeting up with a friend and be honest if they don't push the right buttons then say and you never know maybe this person could become a mutual friend.
hope it all goes well for you cause it's not easy dating today espeically if your over 25 and have been hurt in the past

If you feel like this why did you agree to go on a date with him?
I'm sure glad I'm not him! He may not be Mel Gibson but he has a heart which you're about to grind under your heel.
Do the guy a favor and cancel now before he gets all built up only to be ditched.

romanticman4u: There you go,the truth never killed anyone, just tell him hey I really don't think this is working out, thankyou for meeting me though it was nice to meet you. I think the truth has merit, I would appreciate it if it was me you were telling but then my experience has been waiting on dates that never show , I should start a thread on that.
I agree, that's what i do making an excuse may complicate it, to be honest if i had doubts and was thinking negatively before i went i wouldn't be going in the first place------ This thread is Archived ------
loui12: i know its great idea,im going with the heart attack
No, don't go with the heart attack because he will take you to the hospital and then you might really have one. If I were you, I would be straight up with him BEFORE the date and ask him if he wouldn't mind making it a short date because because you haven't dated in a while and you are nervous about it. I think he would understand that as he might be going through the same anxiety and that is not hurting his feelings, it is the truth and therefore you are off the hook. If is goes well there will be a second date.

In response to: on a date tonite,if we dont click,what excuse can i use to get away quick.
You can also just go to the washroom and come out and tell him you have to leave because of a 'woman thing'. Men NEVER question that one and you will be home faster than the speed of light. ------ This thread is Archived ------
Doesn't it tell you something that you haven't even started the date and you are already looking for an excuse to ditch him?
Be kind to the guy. Earlier on this thread, there was something said about canceling the date. I would agree. At least give him the courtesy of being up front with him. Tell him your not sure about this.
If you do go and still need an excuse. Be honest. You can be honest and still be kind to both of you. Just tell him this isn't working for you. He's a great guy and you appreciate the attention.
Not every date has to be the stars in your eyes, sweep you off your feet kind. Sometimes it's just nice to connect with another human being.
