The way I see it, you have two options. Honesty, which is probably the smart choice.
Or, you have been contacted by the CIA to take part in a highly-classified mission which will force you to be out of the country for up to seven years. You will be stationed in WooWooWoo-istan and help solve the fist pumping crisis, which has claimed the lives of thousands. (aka, the decision every man, woman, and child on the board would make).
The choice is yours.

Nice thread, fellas - make jokes, and/or make it about yourselves. Clearly you've forgotten just what forum you're on. As for jobber2thestars, just tell her you've been drafted by the French Foreign Legion in order to settle the crisis in Arturjistan. Everything should work out without a hitch. Generally speaking, the Foreign Legion is a volunteer force.

I plan on taking her out to a movie and telling her at the end of the night. It's going to be tough getting through it all, but after discussing it with others, they tell me that my feelings are more important when it comes to stuff like this. I want to tell her we should stay friends, which I would actually like because we share a lot of the same interests, but I'm realistic about that.

I'd go with the brutal honesty kick myself, then spend the next 1-2 weeks feeling horrible about it.
Dunno about the movie, though. It may lull the young lady into a false sense of security. But again, S-Chrome knows nothing.

Honestly I'd tell her before the date. You don't want to waste her time. And be honest with her as well.

I agree with the others about the movie, you should tell her before that, I think. Just putting myself in her situation, it would probably be worse to deal with if you were out with her like nothing was wrong for a couple of hours and then telling her. And obviously honesty is the best way to go about it.

That's pretty soul crushing to be broken up with after a full on date, man. I'd say just call her and say that you need to talk, and be straightforward and honest. Don't go out and act like everything is fine for a few hours and then bring the whole thing crashing down around you and her. That's not groovy, and it could be misconstrued a number of ways.
At the very least, you're only delaying the inevitable. That's not fair to her, and not healthy for you.

Dude, that's like giving her a low plot, and then Pedigreeing her. Here: Tell her honestly, but don't use the words "you're not the ONE for me." That's such craptastic language. Be honest, tell her you like her, but you don't feel a romantic connection. Admittedly, I don't think a few weeks is long enough to determine whether there is or will be a romantic relationship, but this is your ship, steer it as thou wilt.

I'm having a vision of jobber2thestars coming out of a retrospective showing of Titanic with his date.
"Since you're already crying, I've got something I need to tell you..."

"You know what else sank after hitting an iceberg? This relationship." Man up, be honest, tell her how you feel and why. Just do it soon because it's just going to get messier the longer you wait.

Get her alone and say. "You've been in this relationship for X amount of time, but I'm afraid that in this current economic climate I'm forced to downsize so I'm going to have to let you go. I'm sorry."

Psh, don't listen to these guys. Just give her a hug, then when she turns away, superkick her and throw her through a Barbershop window.

To quote some Nada Surf song....
Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to Prolonging the situation only makes it worse Tell him honestly, simply, kindly, but firmly Don't make a big production Don't make up an elaborate story This will help you avoid a big tear jerking scene If you wanna date other people say so Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected Even if you've gone together for only a short time, And haven't been too serious, There's still a feeling of rejection When someone says she preferres the company of others To your exclusive company, But if you're honest, and direct, And avoid making a flowery emotional speech when you brake the news, The boy will respect you for your frankness, And honestly he'll apeciate the kind of straight foward manner In which you told him your decision Unless he's a real jerk or a cry baby you will remain friends
Just, you know, replace the hes and shes in that.,
