Yeah, that bit about the sex -- that might make it more difficult now to NOT hurt her feelings.

Honesty is always the best way, so why not just say, "hey,.. we're having a good time together and all, but I'm honestly, and truly not interested."

Just put it into the perspective that you should word the phrases that you should say to her, but put yourself in her shoes. If someone were to gently put you down, how would you prefer someone to tell you that?

Women get easily attached by having sex...

Did you tell her you didn't want a relationship and just casual sex? Is that what happened?

Dear One

I do hope you manage to get this sorted, it can only bother you until you make a decision

Someone may be hurt and I know what that feels like.

Well.... I prefer men to be straight with me..... always have. I too have enjoyed one night stands... safely.... but this was all it was. Pure lust.... Now if you feel this person wants more of an relationship... you need to stand up and let them know how you feel... but sweetly. Be a friend.... that went out of his/her boundaries.... Good luck
Thanks for this!

karoliina that is a really lovely post. Put very nicely, friendly and strong. You have a lovely heart.

Chris as Karoliina said you need to act now, stand up and say what you have to say there are a couple of things I would like to say, I just hope they are acceptable.

Ask anyone who has had someone come to them after they have been rejected by a lover, they will tell you of their heartache when the one who came to them went back to the one they left.

Also if that relationship went sour so quickly there is something going on there that you may need to be wary of? I don't mean to pry dear friend, I just want you to be ok and safe and I really, really don't want you to be hurt, it's something you have already been through and I don't think you deserve it again. You're a really nice man one who doesn't need any more hurt or pain,

Loving blessings,
Rhiannon
