Does that include letting the other person know BEFORE the date that you have Zero Interest in them?

It's not dating if you don't look at it as a date.
It's serial rejection.

Since there is no commitment or promise of one, are you paying for your own way?

And you might meet someone special through that new group of friends!

I agree with your premise.
But first dates don't allow you to see what a person truly is about.
Most times it takes several dates for a person to move through their own closely held perceptions about people to even begin to see what the other person is really all about.
Now if you are hanging out with a group of people you can learn some of these things but not always with the one on one cuz most "First Dates" are not that creative, unless you plan to do something totally different than the norm.
But most times when you have the mindset to plan to do something totally different from the norm in relation to going on a first date you already understand what it is you want and know that you don't waste time on pointless dates.
