Thanks Robin, and I like your toast there at the end. :-)

I really don't know which one is best. I think when it's me doing the rejection, if it's been 3 dates or so I'll wait 'til they contact me and just send a brief note. I'll say I enjoyed their company but have decided I don't really want to date. Or maybe that I think we're not quite the right match. Or something to that effect. (Suggestions anyone?)

Heck, maybe he's right and it's better to say nothing (?). I can't think of a good way to word that without its being a big letdown. On the other hand, when it happened to me just now, I also felt like I was pretty worthless if I didn't even deserve a response to say no-interest. Like a "you're not even worth responding to" kind of deal. But I realize I shouldn't interpret it that way.

Dating sux.
