This guy asked me out yesterday and I agreed to go, we haven't made definite plans yet. But some stuff about him surfaced and I'm no longer interested in dating him. How do I end it before it starts? I'm kind of in a predicament with I've made him think I was interested despite what he said but after some thought I'm really not.

This is where women get into trouble by trying to be too nice.

 

You just tell him that after further consideration you don't feel the two of you are a good match and that you are canceling the date.

 

He will either take it graciously or he won't. If he doesn't,...well,...then you got your answer and your confirmation that you were right. It is better to deal with this now than after you have been on a few dates with him.

 

BTW - I'm a guy,...so you are getting this from a guy's mouth (figuratively speaking)

“Sorry for the late notice, but I won’t be able to make it tomorrow. “

 

Then he will probably ask out again

 

“I’m no longer interested. Good luck.” *Block*

 

Then he will probably ask why, then argue you have the wrong impression of him etc etc

 

Thankfully you won’t have to suffer that because he’s blocked

For the future make it a personal rule that you don't agree to a date where the guy didn't make definite plans or tries to put the burden of planning on your shoulder. It is ok if he asks when you are available, but be a little vague like saying "I'm free this day or that day". But it needs to be on him to determine the exact day/time/place. Consider it a test. It is probably a good idea to meet the there rather than pick you up on at least the first date.

 

Again - You're hearing this from a guy.

How about this...."Sorry but I have changed my mind and will not be going on on a date with you. I wish you all the best".

This is good. But block promptly after if you want to avoid a ****storm of drama. Just forewarning
