I'm tired of going on a date and afterwards being told "I'm not ready to date right now"

I've heard some version of this at least a dozen times, most recently on a date this weekend that seemed to go pretty well.

Frankly, it hurts to have it happen so often. If you weren't ready to date anyone, why did you say yes to going on a date? Either it shows a lack of self awareness or it's a dishonest version of "it's not you, it's me."

If a woman truly isn't ready to date anyone, I would rather she just decline the date offer instead of telling me afterwards. And if we do go on a date and she doesn't want to go on another, I'd rather she just say so instead of giving this excuse.
