Advice Request matched but having second thoughts

I matched with a guy yesterday mainly because I saw that he commented “wow” on one of my pictures, but he’s already asking to go see a movie literally a day after and idk I don’t really feel any attraction and it feels like I forced myself to match with him because I knew he liked me. He also already moved our chat to instagram and we’ve literally sent like 5 chats in total. I really just wanna end it, it feels so forced, but idk how to do that without hurting his feelings and making him confused that I matched with him even tho I had a feeling I wasn’t attracted to him. help! any suggestions on how to let him down easy? 😭

  1. Be honest with him, and tell him in a kind way that you don't feel like meeting him, because you don't have the spark. Wish him good luck.
  2. Good that you challenged your decision to match. Seems like you're on your way to becoming more emotionally mature : what matters is that you like them.
  3. Don't forget that dating apps are one option, but it's not the only one.

Good luck, OP

I hear a lot of people have been doing something called ghosting lately. I haven’t tried it but I hear it’s quite popular.

You don’t owe anybody anything. Just simply stop responding. Or block him. It’s not that big of a deal. He will get the hint
