What's the nicest way to do it, everything was going great on e-mail but when we meet she seemed so dull. Excuses or Honesty?
Honesty, otherwise making a habit of excuses may come back and bite you on the bum!
Perhaps others here can offer polite ways of saying thanks, but no thanks?

That's probablty what I'm looking for, problem is, as she's a size 18 I want to ensure that she doesn't think its because its her size (when in fact its becasue she's dull and stupid) I would gladly have shagged her if she'd been a bit more mentally stimulating
If she was that dim, a `Dear John` would definately confuse her!
(I take it her name isn`t John?! :shock: )

The problem here is expectations, and the solution is to have none.
If you're meeting someone for the first time and you've both made it clear that it's just as friends, then if you fancy each other, fine, take it from there, and if you don't, just carry on as you were as friends.
If, on the other hand, you're going along with anything else in mind, then I think you should make sure the other person knows exactly what your expectations are so you can decide between you whether your intentions are compatible. If you think you're compatible then discover you're not then frankly all you can say is thanks but no thanks, which is what you would have said if you'd assessed each other correctly in the first place.
This may sound harsh but I promise you it's intended to be constructive - if your interest is primarily in forming relationships beyond friendship (and even physically intimate friendship can still be just friendship), then what you need is not a swinging site but a dating agency.

Or... 'It's not you, it's me ...'
Alternatively, act like such a scumbag that she dumps you. :twisted:
Give her what she wants shag her it may be that you are mistaking dullness and stupidity for shyness. give her the opportunity to cum out of her shell. If afterwards she hasn't in my book you ahve l;ost nothing and she has gained a good fucking. On the otherhand if she cums out of her shell look what you have gained. IMHO you are in a win win situation and so is she. Now get on with it and give her a good fucking.

OK - now perhaps I am missing something here Patrick but there may be 2 sides to this. She may have appeared dull to you, but perhaps that could have been because you did nothing for her mentally either. After all, it takes 2 to tango as the saying goes.
I am not saying that you are dull either, but just the fact that she does nothing for you does NOT mean she is a dull person.
So my advice would to be honest that you don't feel an attraction, but not to criticise either.
And for the rotundman - why should she think that a good f**king by Patrick is a 'gain' - a bit of an arrogant attitude you have there isn't it? Swinger site or not - we are talking about people with feelings here. She is a person - not a 'thing' to be used.

I'd go for sugar-oated honesty...say something that explains what happened, but in positive, or just plain incomprehensible terms... "There just wasn't a 'spark' between us", that sort of thing.
Other options include:
Getting so drunk you either do fancy her, or you can't perform (beware of both happening though)
"I hate to say this but... I've met someone"
"I've got this nasty rash..."
"I can't, you remind me of my sister"
"You are into scat aren't you?"
Thousands of people are meeting eachother in these situations every day and most will probably say 'thanks but no thanks'. It's all part of the game and one just has to be honest with them and with oneself. If you are convinced she is not for you then you may as well let her know in a nice way as others have suggested. On the other hand you may have read her incorrectly, shyness can be misleading at first - you never know she might be a real sexy minx - I have often found shy girls are!
Alex my point was not meant to be factual. Correct me if I am wrong but aren't we all on here to either fuck or be fucked. That I woudl suggest was the objective of both the above parties and as such is a "FUCK" took place then to soem extent each party would have reached theri objective. i think it is you who is being arrogant by suggssting this column is some sort of Agony Aunt Forum
When we joined the site our main objective was sex, we didn`t think much further than that. However, we have found so much more. So I hope you`ll excuse me when I say I wouldn`t take back our old approach for the world, friendship is so much more important, if we can combine the two, then all the better but I wouldn`t hesitate to choose friendship over sex if I had too.

I have no problem with that Venus and echo your sentiments but this discussion has developed philosophically. maybe we should do a straw poll to see what people's first consideration is. The question has been asked
