This has happened to me a number of times. Each time, I make eye contact, I smile, greet them, and we continue on with the date.
We talk, and I just enjoy it as a conversational-date only (no chemistry), and it's usually a perfectly pleasant date. My body language says; 'there's no chemistry here for me', but when the date ends, I give them a hug, or shake their hand, thank them for a nice evening, compliment them (sincerely) for being a pleasant person and enjoyable to talk to and offer to keep in touch as friends, if they choose.
I've often thought the verbal 'friendship' offer put people off, because they regard it as a rejection no matter how politely and tactfully it was offered, but I have had women get upset at not knowing this 'up front'....meaning; the first date I guess. So such a vehement reaction caused me to make the effort to do so (offer friendship) on the first date. I guess they may also see this as a 'consolation prize' or something, which it's not, but I can see how they would see it that way. It's probably me, and the way I say things that has made a few think this, but one can't know how someone will react to something sometimes, no matter how sincerely or politely it is given.
Most of the time it's mutual, and most of the time neither one of us pursued the friendship, but a couple have, and am still friends with them. The rest; I hope they have now found their greatest love and are happy.

In the first place u know that its a blind date. You should anticipate the fact that your blind date could not be pretty as you are expecting. So, you should be man enough to atleast treat her out in that very moment. Well, if you really dont like her dont ask her out, for the second time aroud but atleast make sure dont be rude in that 1st day that you saw her you will never even spend little of your time to talk to her. Somehow, you both made an effort to go in a place that you can actually know each other. I'm very concern bcos it happened to me 3 yrs ago. I hate what my blind date look like and i said to myself i will never see this guy again but atleast i finished our date. But guess what? He is my bf now for 3 yrs. what i saw is something that our eyes cannot see. Its only our hearts that can perceive.

Continue with the date as you had planned. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but a person's worth and value is something that you will only get to know over time.
Of course, if her apparent lack of beauty did cause you a problem, then there is no need for you to book a return match.

Marry her....Don't you know....If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life never make a pretty woman your wife. So from my personal point of view get an ugly girl to marry you.

Let her down lightly. If you really can't go ahead with the date. Tell her your friend sent you say he is ill and is unable to make it. You would have taken her out but are married or gay etc etc.

Be nice, it was a blind date, you are not a jerk are you?, you don't have to call her, nothing is preventing from being nice, she is a person too, who has feelings.

just be nice, but don't give her any ideas that you are going to continue to see her. that is why you should meet her for something like coffee or only a drink so it can be a short date.

How about treat her with kindness and respect but let her know that you're not interested romantically.
You never know when that person pops back into your life and you'll be glad you weren't an a*shole.

First off, get the girl to meet you like at chilies or somewhere that has a bench outside. Tell her to wait for you there, drive by and if shes hot, park, if shes a dog keep driving
