thanks, but no thanks....

Q: So you're set up with someone, but for whatever reason you aren't all that into the person, or things otherwise don't work out. What's the polite way to say (to the person who was setting you up) thanks, but no thanks, but feel free to try again?

A: USUALLY, if someone is setting you up, you know them semi-well enough to tell them straight forward, thanks, but no thanks. If however, this matchmaker was an acquaintance, maybe from work, you should just be honest with them. When they come in on Monday morning and say (in the most exciting voice they have) Sooooo, how did things go with you and so & so Saturday night? You should be honest and just say, well he/she seemed really nice, but just isn't what I'm looking for. Then you can offer to make a list of the qualities you are looking for so they can keep looking!
