I [21M] am unsure about ending things with a girl [20F] while she’s grieving a death in her family.

Hi everyone. I [M21] have been talking to this girl [F20] for a couple weeks. Nothing official really, but we’ve been texting every day pretty consistently, things like good morning texts, general conversation, flirting etc. We actually plan on going on a date when she gets back from her trip. But the problem is i am starting to realize i don’t really feel any romantic chemistry. She’s a great person, she’s really nice and easy to talk to. But i don’t get that nervous or jittery feeling when i usually like a girl if that makes sense. I was already thinking the last few days about taking a step back. Due to me recently coming out of a relationship that im realizing im still not fully healed from. Therefore i feel like im kind of emotionally unavailable atm. I feel like I’ve also just been enjoying the attention and consistency more then developing actual feelings, which is why i need to step back.

What would be the most considerate way to handle the timing…waiting until she’s back, or being honest sooner?
