telling her how I feel before meeting up

I think it would be fairer and marginal less upsetting to cancel before rather than let her prepare for the date

depends on whether you think you've lost interest or are more certain

What if after meeting her I grow an attraction?

I’ve been talking to this girl for a month now , but I’ve think I’ve lost interest in her . We are meeting up for the first time next week, shall I just wait till after the date ?

How people are in real life and how they are in person can be very different things.

Different in how they look, how they talk, what sort of character and personality they have.

Go ahead and meet her. And take things from there. That is, unless you have a queue of other women waiting to meet you, all of whom seem better at this stage than this one?

It makes most sense to keep any positive or negative feelings to yourself. Because they may well be based mainly on how you imagine her to be. Which may be different to how she actually is.

Then it might be worth giving it a shot. Although my experience is that if there’s not enthusiasm at the outset it’s unlikely to get anywhere

No we haven’t. It’s only been a month, we made other types of plans with each other since we have a lot of interests but that’s it

more certain on whether or not you've lost interest in her or just 'think' you have

what did you think i mean, the current season of whatever you're watching on netflix?

maybe just send her a message her asking about where you two stand ? so she won't feel as taken back after the date.
It seems a bit unfair to just drop such a thing after having a date.

Sorry for the constant replies 😫, but how would I ask this ? Like how would I phrase the question

start off by saying that you have enjoyed talking to her and that you are looking forward to meeting her. Then ask her where she thinks your relationship lies and if you truly aren't interested, say that you are only ready for a friendship right now. If you two have a lot of interests then maybe you can just be good friends.

Starting a "What are we?" conversation with her is a very bad idea.

Because it will come over as desperate, needy and lacking in confidence on your part.
And it will put her under too much pressure.
And it's impossible for either of them to know where they are because they haven't met and spent time together in real life yet.

Such a conversation would only increase the chances of them never meeting. That is not the aim of the game. The aim of the game is for them to meet in real life and see how they get on.

Meeting someone for an evening that leads to nowhere is still far better than staying at home watching Netflix or playing on your X-Box. So that meeting her has no downsides. It only has upsides.

The general frame for the meeting should be that the main thing is that they both have an enjoyable time. And as long as that happens, it is not the end of the world if they never meet again after that.

I suppose everyone is different. I am a girl and would prefer someone to be upfront, rather than taking me on a date and then have them message me that they aren't interested.
