I say go meet her and figure it out in person.
I would have the same impression of "hell no" with all that weirdo christian stuff, but you might as well shut her down in person than do it over text. What if your auto correct actually says something really awesome to her? You'd be boned.

Everything you describe points to her being a freak in the sack. Go to coffee, check stats, try to pound. Be ready to change cell numbers.

This is what google voice is for.

I would email; text would require brevity. And I would just be somewhat honest. After setting up the date the continued conversation made you realize that your values and religious beliefs are not aligned and that you don't think that it makes sense to pursue a romantic relationship together for that reason. I dunno... seems a lot better than intentionally antagonizing her and/or coming up with various lies.

Simple show up and talk over coffee, and tell her you are gay but keeping it secret and wanted to tell her in person. End of story.

That is the only way to escape the crazy, use the Gay defense.

Why waste both her and my time?

It's jsut coffee and you never know. When you get there say that you have to be somewhere in 30 minutes. Have to go pick up your brother from X location. And if it goes well, jsut say he can wait 10 more minutes.

I say you just go. What you got to lose?

She already has your name and number, knows where you work, and all she has to do is ask to find out where you live!

On my way to New York last year, I was helping a girl with her luggage (3 tubs + backpacks) behind me, and got talking. She was about a 5/10, but after I found out she was on the way home to Ohio from a Christian studies college near the airport, I strategically excused myself...

So you excused yourself, but your telling him to go!

I'll say just go and see what happens, you could have some freaky sex like what boberfett mentioned.

Either that or just send her a text message meant for some fictitious gf that you accidentally send her

Damn gurl last night was awesome, didn't expect you to put your finger up there but you definitely found what you were looking for. see you next weekend.

maybe she realized after she excepted that she made a mistake going out with a loser librarian and tried to scare you off, and you didn't pick up on the hint

Until she tries to cure him.

lol...zing! Mean, and untrue, but funny.

Here's the text OP: "I can't make it tomorrow morning; something came up. Have a nice weekend."

"I don't think we have much in common" will probably do it.

Alternately, go have coffee with her, I doubt 30 minutes of conversation is actually going to ruin your plans. Say the above words at the end.

Just go to coffee with her. It isn't like a real date and then if she goes on to long have a excuse to leave.

Right. If you have it already decided that you're not going to date her, that will usually come across in the conversation. She may be able to take the hint. Always have somewhere to be right after a first date.

If you are dead set against even meeting her, call her and gently say "You seem really nice, but it seems that we're pretty different. I did some thinking, and I think it's probably best if we don't go out. Sorry about this, but I thought it would be more fair to you to let you know as soon as I decided. Thank you, though, and I hope you find a cool guy."

If you don't have the guts to call her, at the very least text her that.
