Topic: I feel really badly... | |
---|---|
about just having to send a frank email to someone I'm not "clicking" with despite positive initial communications. I'm pretty sure I've hurt feelings and regardless of whether or not it's better sooner than later...it still sucks to do because they are probably a genuinely nice person. <sigh!>

Better you tell them early on then a year down the road.
I'm sure they'll recover. |

Sorry to hear it.
It's always rough to let someone down, especially if they are a good person. |

tis better to have mingled and missed
than never to have mingled at all |
|
|

I know it is better now than later...I just remember being on the receiving end and it stinks.
I am probably way too much of a softie... |

You're not going to like everybody, and what's the point in dragging it out and pretending? We're all allegedly mature adults here (sorry, my chair almost fell over when I typed that) and you're not obligated to anticipate every possible reaction of every possible person who might read something you wrote.
Points for honesty, in my opinion. |

Just be honest is all you can do!!!!!

That was very good of you to send the email rather than just disappear.

But yes, it is better to let them know now that sparks just aren't flying and you enjoy them as a friend....(I know, everyone hates that phrase, but it might be true). |

I've seen your posts galendgirl and I'm sure you will do it with tact.I agree that If you yourself feel it isn't going well it would be the time to share with him.

There's a line from a song that has stuck in my head like forever..."I'd rather you hurt me honestly, then mislead me with a lie". |
