blind date let down

[Limp]

Hello,

Some coworkers asked to set me up on a blind date, which will be my first blind date. From what they've told me about the girl, it does seem we have a lot in common, but I was kinda lukewarm in terms of attraction when I saw the pic after they set everything up. At least based on the one pic, it's not someone I'm physically attracted to enough to ask out on my own, but also someone I am willing to take a chance with. If things go well, I'm not really worried. But if I decide I'm not feeling it, just wondering if there are any tips on letting her down easily.

I don't have a ton of dating experience, and most girls I have gone out with, I did not ask again and that was just it. I think it was generally mutual, so no hurt feelings, but given that everybody is getting all hyper and excited about this one and I'm sure to have people trying to pick my brain at work, I want to make sure if I do let her down, it's in the best way possible not to offend anyone or hurt the girl.

If I've only gone on 1-3 dates with a girl, it's super easy, just a simple text:

"sorry, I'm just not really feeling it with me and you. just wanted to be straight and honest. you're a cool girl, and I'd still like to be friends."

And that's only because I'm nice.

Easy. Simple. I've never gotten a harsh response and almost always a "thanks."

Else, you can do the "cold shoulder" and is universally known. You just stop texting them. It's a dick move, but everyone pretty much does it. In fact, this is how EVERY woman has done it to me that have ended it after just 1 date. When I was younger, I got bitter about it, but then I got over it with more experience.

If you have sex with the girl on the 1st date, then you'll need to be more conscientious of what you do, but it sounds like you're just talking about if you go on a date with no sex and not feeling it, right? Just send a simple text, no worries here at all.
