I’d like to ask about exchanging contact information too.
This content is machine-translated.
If things don’t progress after having a meal with a gentleman, it’s easy enough because we don’t exchange contact information. But if things do progress and I feel we’re not compatible, or that he’s not very good and there won’t be a next time, I’d prefer to part ways without exchanging contact information. However, he seems to like me, and I smile and play along, so how can I decline exchanging contact information without making him feel too uncomfortable?
This has happened with about four of the offers I’ve received recently. If anyone has any good techniques, I’d really appreciate your advice.

I can’t think of a way to avoid exchanging contact information without making the other person feel uncomfortable, so:
① You could exchange contact details at the time, say goodbye, and if they later invite you to meet again, send something like:
“I thought it over carefully afterward, but I don’t think it would be possible for us to continue seeing each other. I’m sorry.”
② If you already feel that this person isn’t for you, exchanging contact information through KakaoTalk can make it easier to distinguish between people you’re seeing and those you aren’t.
Of course, you’d need to install KakaoTalk in advance, and if they ask, “What about LINE?” you’d have to say that LINE isn’t really an option and suggest KakaoTalk instead.
That said, some women use KakaoTalk as their usual means of contact even when they aren’t planning to turn someone down, so it shouldn’t seem that strange.

Wait, is that really possible?
Wouldn’t it be fine to end things and immediately send, “Thank you very much. I look forward to working with you again,” then block them right away...?
