But OP, just end it. Tell him it was nice to meet him but you don't think you're a good match and move on. Simple.
.....Wel..l true...but if the guy won't leave you alone...it's the only sure way. Just freeze him out.

I'm trying to parrot your advice...the key is to move on. Tell him, then freeze him out.

But only if I really liked her.

I think it's much kinder to just go awol...the hint is had, and you don't negatively judge the person to his face.

And to be honest, the one time a girl did that to me, it made me take a step back and reevaluate things. It was good for me.
Going AWOL is for p*ssies.

None of the above matters if she wants to be rid of him.

At that point, whine all you want because ... buh-bye.

Then what did he do, exactly??

We can't offer advice if you're vague.

If she continues to interact wiith him, and he's like most guys, he'll always think he has a chance...AWOL is clear.

Wmsn4life: it was mentioned in my original post.
Ok, my game plan from the advice thus far:
Considering that I want to be respectful to this person I believe I will tell him face to face that this isn't working for me and that I don't want to see him anymore.
Then I will go AWOL so he won't believe that he has a chance with me when he doesn't.

Thanks for the perspective everyone it was very helpful.

We moved onto the physical plane by date three and had sex by date five. Since then he has said things that down right annoy me, such as when he ran into people I knew and he had the urge to tell them what we did that morning. This made me feel super turned off toward him and I have told him as much. Things like this about him and his mannerisms are getting on my nerves and I don't want to pursue the relationship. Any advice to help me call it off will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
Why don't you just tell him "this isn't working out, good luck to you" and never talk to him again.

Seriously. I don't understand why this is so hard.

Bwahahaha! Respect is something you assume you will have for someone when you meet. They lose it by their actions. A respectful person doesn't kiss and tell.

One mistake? sounds like he made more than one, and there could be a kajillion other reasons why she isn't into him.

AFter only 2.5 weeks, she doesn't owe him a second chance.

And if you really like a girl, why would you say that to her as an effort to get her to give you a second chance? Because that will fail, as it is not at all respectful!

I still don't understand what he's doing that is so annoying. The OP said he had theurge to tell otehrs what they had done, but didn't actually tell them. She mentions other "things" he says without actually telling us what they are. It sounds odd.

OP, you should be like so many other people here and just text the break up --

"srry but im levin u"

Exactly. She's like, "I said it in my first post." And I'm like, "Uh, I can read and no, you didn't."

We need specifics, Gallardia.
