What to say at the end of first date?
Scenario 1. Good date but I don't think I am interested. End the date feeling a bit bad about it so I say "it was really lovely to meet you. It would be nice to know a bit more about you. Shall I give you my n so maybe we can arrange another coffee?" While my mind is saying to me What the hello why are you giving him your number you idiot?
Scenario 2. Good date and I would like to meet this man again. Not 100 x cent sure but yes I would like to know more about him. But I am a bit unsure about how to end the date so I say "it was really lovely to meet you. It would be nice to know more about you if you would like it. Maybe we can swap numbers on the app and arrange another coffee?" While by mind is saying to me Why are you doing his job on his behalf you idiot? Guy obviously says "yes that would be very nice" and clearly I have no idea if that was meant or it was me putting him in the position of having to say so.
So...I think I need to have some urgent prepared script in my head to learn by heart and recite. That includes silence of course.
In both scenarios I just felt bad not saying anything...that's probably the underlying issue.
Thanks for advice. Will be very gratefully appreciated x

Welcome to dating in 2020. A couple of thoughts:
1. It is always difficult to turn someone down -- or to be turned down. In the future, don't feel compelled to soften the blow. You both went on a date to see if there was any chemistry, right? There wasn't for you. No need to waste your time or his. If the guy is really into you, he'll speak and and ask for another chance. If not, you just saved him the trouble of not calling you again.
2. In today's dating climate, the traditional roles really don't apply. If you like someone and want to see them again, it is fine for you to speak up. Don't expect the guy to do it all the time. As for his response to you, only time will tell. Just like you don't want to hurt someone, a lot of guys don't want to say they aren't interested. Instead, they're hoping that you'll get the hit if they don't call. OR they'll contact you soon because the are interested.
