When I was on eHarmony I went into every date with the expectation that there would be a romantic connection. I was not looking for friends. If I am looking for friends I will use some other avenue than a dating site, something like Meet Up.
This is how I feel too. I have even seen profiles where people state "I would love to make new friends..." CLOSE!

Life is many shades of grey, not b/w. Nothing has to be either/or.

Always be pleasant because (please look at Scully's "SHARING THE WEALTH" thread) you never know who might be somebody or where they'll come from that they themselves or somebody they know might become somebody significant to you ~ in love, in life, in your career, in spirit, whatever.

After all ~ you should make the best of everything. Even if it's not going anywhere, why not (at the very least) use it as a chance to shine up your conversational skills or what not so you're more polished for a future date?

There are only two choices in the poll. There should be a third that says that you tell your match / date that you don't feel there is a connection.
Choice 4 would be to do the above at some point during the date, if you're sure, while trying to be pleasant at all times.
