I went for a night away with a man i’ve been seeing, we’ve known eachother for years and i thought i’d finally give him a chance, but i just don’t feel the way i usually do i don’t know why im usually head over heels after the first date haha he went all out on this date planned and booked everything super nice hotel i felt really lucky! And he’s not given me any reason to end it and i would feel so mean ending it now after that but i don’t know what to do!😭

Whats making you want to end it?
How do you feel towards him?
In what way do you feel 'different' to other first dates. Maybe it's because you have known him for so long you feel comfortable around him rather that the usual new excitement

Tou d9n't need excitment, you need a good man who can offer stability and comfort. Obviously you need to have an attraction towards him, but being head over heels, is not the feeling that creates long-term contentment imo. Sometimws, the people we are head over heels with caise as damage and pain.

If you're not feeling it, you're not feeling it 🤷🏻♀️ life is way too short to force something that isn't there. Maybe go on another, more chilled date and see how you feel. If you still feel the same then just be honest with him. You having feelings, isn't mean! You're perfectly entitled to not continue a relationship with someone, you don't even need a reason 🤷🏻♀️

Well if he isn't what you are looking for, then I'd say don't waste either of your time. Just let him down gently. You cab tell him you enjoyed the date, but the spark just isn't there and you carr about him too much to string him along.

100%you gave it a go and if you just don't feel anothering then it's time to call it

It's totally fine though. You thought you wanted him that way but now you realise maybe it was just infatuation. Just let him know and try see if y'all can be okay with that if not move on. He doesn't need a pity relationship from you lol. Remember he also never pursued you ...
