wednesday, a guy asked me out and i said yes. we only just met on sunday, but we'd been hanging out for four hours that day and we talked online and on the phone.
anyway.
this "relationship" has GOT to end. i can't really go into the specific reasons why, it just absolutely has to. but he's been very nice and sweet to me, and i feel like $#!* for having led him on maybe.
but the truth is i got to know him a little better and... he's trouble. he's no good.
i already know i want to end this as swiftly and efficiently as possible without completely pissing him off and without getting into a confrontation/argument thing...
can anyone give me a good layout of a swift, persuasive, concise breakup speech?
Law #5 of the Universe (a.k.a. Washington's Law) states that honesty is the best policy. Tell him the truth and don't drag it out... Nothing is worse than beating a dead horse.
Tell him why you don't wish to continue and be clear that there is nothing he can "fix" to keep it going. If you're worried about destroying him, make it more about you than about his personality. Stay away from nebulous expressions like "it's not you, it's me" or "you're not my type" or "I just don't feel it happening" because they all beg the question "WHY?"

"You're very nice and sweet to me and I enjoyed the few days we've been together. But, I really don't think I'm ready for this kind of relationship. Maybe if I had gotten to know you better before we started dating, things would be different. Unfortunately, I'm just not feeling right in this relationship. I'm sorry, you really are great. I just can't continue in this relationship." [ demonicpixie's advice column | Ask demonicpixie A Question ]
