Hi Peggy. It's good to see you.. Then it's just best to stay single. Hi Lu! Good to seeyou too! Im not clear about what you are referring to. It's better to remain single under what circumstances? It's pretty simple for me. I enjoy my freedom is what I meant..thank you. |

I am not referring to the termination of a serious relationship, Im talking about that early period in the first couple of conversations or dates with someone whether it be online or offline, when it is obvious to you that you are not attracted to the person but they are blatantly attracted to you. Its so easy to be insensitive when we are the ones rejecting someone's romantic advances. But when the tables are turned, and you are the one who is being rejected, how do you wish to be told or treated? eg would you prefer they make it clear that they dont like you? Is it better if they say nothing, but just dont respond to your calls or the cliche speech about preferring to just be friends? etc I do not believe... I have ever been insensitive ...to anyone ... I say how I feel polity and move on ... I would rather have the truth and expect that from others ... and I with them or of course know going forward with them ... I believe if adults ...we both can handle the truth... |

story of our lives
are you going back to the one who loves you or are you going back to the one you love someone's gonna cry when they've known they lost you someone's gonna thank the stars above . |

Peggy, just tell me straight up that you like Trevor more...
I can handle it. I have 10 gallons of ice cream in the freezer and am ready to binge eat while crying once you tell me.... On the serious side, it's tough but you need to say the truth as kindly as you can. Which is something I am not good at. My two cents. |

liking someone who will never like you back is torture therefore it will really be a kind act to stop anyone from feeling this misery by expressing it short and sweet

Rejection wouldnt be taken as a personal attack that way |

I think being honest is always the best way. I also think directly speaking to someone is important. Through text and no contact is just a very cowardly approach.

After someone is told and doesn't heed, No Contact is the ONLY approach. Texting and taking calls or meeting up to discuss it only complicates everything. If it can't be let go by either party, that indicates there is something else in play. |

Well now, I do not have a lot of experience in not being wanted.
Not from an ego standpoint, just I seem to be so average that I tick off less men than most. However, I do recall getting an itch for someone who never looked my way. Or had someone else. Immediate disinterest on my part. Immediate. Don't have to try, comes easy. Oh and I have not had anyone break up with me but if they did, a straight shooter would be appreciated. Other than that, I think Voo-doo dolls all the way. |

It's always hard breaking up with someone you care about but it's even worse when they agree .. to stay in touch and then they don't..!!!.. it just makes you feel like you never really matter to them at all.. all the I love .you...we're for nothing. The bond the togetherness .. must have not meant anything !!at that point.. if the person can't even send a simple ..hello! how are you doing ??.just touching base

I've always preferred a direct approach of being told they are not interested in any romantic interests on my part.
Least then I know not to waste any charm that I may be able to muster up for someone worthy of my advances to speak. |

I think being honest is always the best way. I also think directly speaking to someone is important. Through text and no contact is just a very cowardly approach. If the couple has been dating for a while, I see the need for face to face contact but if the rejection is after a few interactions or date, meeting in person might actually be more humiliating for the victim in some cases . But I get your overall point of showing consideration to the person. I respect that Tricia |
