This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^. EXATLY THIS.

It’s only a 3rd date. Now if it was the 5th or 6th it would be a different story. Although if you had not kissed me by the 5th date, if I even let it get that far, I’d already be thinking, she’s not into me. I think it’s totally reasonable to go on the third date and TRY to be open. If you are still dreading things with him after date #3, just be honest - and totally honest with what you are or are not feeling. You’re not doing anything wrong here. You’re not leasing him on. It’s only been 2 dates. But I’d say after the 3rd it’s time to just be honest and see what he says. His response may surprise you.

But I’d still encourage you to did deep as to why - especially if it continues to happen with other similar guys.
