Would it ever be a good idea for me to date a woman out of obligation? Like if I ask her out and then change my mind at the last minute then should I follow through on the date anyway?

Nope just txt her 'sorry my cat is sick, can't go'

haha ^. Yeah a lot of women pull that type of exit. Given that you asked, its a bit weird to suddenly change your mind. I guess it depends what the fallout would be with this girl. (will you interact with her or her friends much in the future). Look, you could always just make it a cheap & not too long date, then afterwards give the 'sorry just not feeling the chemistry' line.

Just curious, what compelled you to ask this girl initially?

No you shouldn't go on the date and be truthful about the reason why you changed your mind without being mean just tell her you changed your mind.if you know the reason why when she asks, give it......deb

No one wants you to spend time with them if you don't want to.

 

But at the same time, just be diplomatic about the reason. If you don't think she's attractive enough, don't just tell her!

 

rather, just say something simple like " I really like you but have a lot going on right now"

 

or

 

" I really liked you but just don't feel it with you, and you deserve a person who is 100% into you"

I don't like being let down easy so I don't let others down easy either.

Tell her you gotta cancel and you'll call her back later.

 

Don't call her back later.

Hmm, I seem to be the minority here. If it were me, I would continue with the date because I made a commitment to doing so.

 

You never know what might become of it.

 

A) She might become a very good friend.

 

B) She might have a friend that might be right for you. So if you do go on a date with her, don't come off like a jerk.

 

C) It's great practice for upcoming dates with people you really want to be with. There is nothing worse than being dateless for a long time, finally getting date, and feeling completely lost, awkward, and nervous.

 

However - it is your choice....
