Talking always helps you, I find. It lets you know how he feels and you can get your message across to him. If you just wait for him to get over you it could get more complicated than what it already is. You just need to tell him really nicely that you aren't interested and just don't think you are the right girl for him. Make sure you still stay friends though because that's really important and he'll need support while he's getting over you. If you're too scared to talk to him upfront you could always give him a letter, send an email, or tell him over MSN. Don't make it short and sweet though; that might just sound rude to him. You need to really let him know how you feel. Although first of all I would suggest that you really try hard to work up the courage to talk to him in person. Other forms of communication would be an absolute last resort.
Hope I could help you enough. If there's anything else you need to know you can post in my inbox again or send me an email. My address is: sexy_rexy_xox@hotmail.com (also listed in my column).
