So you didn't tell her because you were afraid that if you were honest and upfront with her that it would ruin your chances of actually scoring? Well contrary to popular belief, taking that approach will score you a lot more lays and save you a lot more wasted time than pretending you're looking for something that you're actually not.
I personally don't even bring it up until a woman asks. I don't feel a reason to, I'm not just going to go around assuming that she's looking to marry me and have babies. However, the moment a woman hints in anyway(i.e. asking me how many other women I'm speaking to) or asks me what I'm looking for I immediately make it clear. I'm always polite and gentle about it though.
A woman is going to draw conclusions based off how you treat her though.. If you take her out on 5 dates, talk to her on the phone and text her all day everyday she's going to naturally assume that investing your time into her is something that you're willing to do.
Now in your situation just find a moment to inject " Hey, I just want to make something clear really quickly, because i see the direction this is going...." followed up by letting her know you're not long term interested. This may or may not screw your chances because you've already gave another impression, but its what you want and its the right thing to do. So give it a shot.. Theres always more, and as long as you know that, you'll always have.
I wasn't afraid, I completely assume my position, and I thought I had been clear about my intentions, but apparently it was too subtle. And she never asked either.
I should probably change my general vibe and be more straightforward in my actions. I'll try your advice and see how it goes.
