I don’t think one needs to “apologize” for discontinuing dating someone even if after a large number of dates. One needn’t marry someone in order to avoid that person experiencing heartbreak. Of course common courtesy of a pro-forma explanation should be provided but even that should typically be limited to something along the lines that one sees the other person as a great person but simply not the right match for themselves. Giving very specific personal reasons why one chose to discontinue dating could be hurtful to the other person.
