This might be more personal than the common questions asked here but i am honestly clueless on how to handle this situation.
For context, without giving too much information, i went on maybe 3 dates with this guy. We met at a random store he introduced himself and we exchanged contacts. After exchanging multiples messages over time, he decided to be open and honest about his past and that is him being incarcerated for 5 years drunk driving that caused death.
I am admittedly taken aback and shocked. I don’t know how to break it to him because i have lost interest due to that. I am not the type of person to judge people’s pasts and I like him but i think what raised a red flag in my head was his lack of remorse. When we were talking about it, the way he reiterated the story was that it wasn’t entirely his fault. He claims that he had alcohol in his system but he wasn’t tipsy nor drunk, that the person he was with during the accident was at fault too. Also, way back before that confession, we had a conversation about having regrets/guilts in life, which he confidently replied, he doesn’t have.
How do I explain to him that i am no longer interested without hurting his feelings too much.

Do it the Japanese way, ghost him.
Just straight up say that you aten’t interested in continuing a relationship.
…that’s what they all said to me.
