The Hunt

Has anyone ever noticed that apartment hunting is like dating? You show up at the apartment not knowing what to expect from the people and from the actual apartment. The initial hello is AWWWKWARD.
Me: Hi
Them:Hi
Me: Ummm... I am here to see the apartment.
Them: um... okay. I guess we'll start with this. um.... do you have any questions.
Me: Um... yes. Is it always this weird when you show an apartment.
Sometimes you get there and you know right away you do not and cannot live in this apartment. But you have to make small talk and look interested until they stop talking and let you inch your way to the door. Kind of like on a date when the guy shows up and you know in that instant you would rather be getting your legs waxed. You sit and nurse a drink and then feign exhaustion. They are really one and the same. Faking interest!
Then afterward do you have to send an e-mail that you are not interested or can you just blow them off?
