I went out on a semi blind date (online dating) and uh, I'm not physically attracted to said person at all.. but we have been conversing for the past 3 months prior to us meeting which makes it awkward and now I feel bad. How do I gently turn them down?
"I really like you, but it would be unfair at this point to lead you on any further. I haven't yet told you about my herpes, prolapsed anus, mange, etc..."
That should do it!

Yikes! I understand completely though. That is the very reason it's usually better meet a bit sooner. For me, a couple of weeks of email, and 2 or 3 phone conversations generally works best.
I would simply send him an email, or call him,and tell him that while you enjoy conversation with him, you didn't get a sense of that "certain something" that you are looking for. And just leave it at that. There is no easy way to do that, but the less said, usually the less hurtful. Good luck to you.

Just tell him...you have family problems....and don't have time for dating. Or you could be harsh and tell him you found another and that you click better with him. Or say you are gay. Or just tell him the truth....it hurts though.

Just be truthful; there's no need to lie or make up stories.
