It depends how solid things were between you.
I'm 28 and had to tell a 37yo that it just wasn't going to work, and did so via text, but we'd only been on one date.
If she's not your girlfriend, I don't think there's any obligation to come over and sit you down and "have a chat".
As for losing the dreads... it's a tough decision to make. You look like you had yours for longer than I had mine. It's a very personal decision. Still, hair grows back, right? And apparently it'll make you look a lot younger. So I was told.
btw: people often say that girls mature faster than boys. it's not true. we are equally as retarded.
