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.


Who would dare reject you soufie? flowerforyou

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


Hmmm... This is off topic Doc, but thats a complexed issue you raise.

Two people in a relationship often offer a very different account of what the overall relationship experience felt like. If one or both people are left with a bad taste in their mouth , then its understandable that such a person would not wish to be in contact with the person.

But I agree with you that if you were the person who left with an overall good feeling about your ex, that its hard to be completely cut off by them.flowerforyou

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.


No one likes to be led on Scooby. Thats for sure. But you really have to brace your core for that straightforward rejection. It can hurt!

and yet many of the profiles seek someone honest and a straight shooter...well what is more honest than telling them the truth?...coloring it and prettying it and trying to soften the blow can oftimes open a big door called ambiguity through which misunderstandings and misinterpretations enter and take a seat...it is not unusual for the actual reason to be "i just don't feel that way about you" ...and many of the things you try to do to persuade the other that they did nothing wrong, or it will be better if they change their ways, WILL NOT work...

just my nickel...

I understand your concern for compromising clarity when trying to soften the blow of rejection maybewecan.

I do subscribe to the golden rule most of the time which is to treat others as i would like to be treated
But Ive learned that there is no one sized fits all approach to this topic as some respond better to the cold hard truth , wheteas some need some sugar in their medicine for it to be stomached. Different strokes for different folks :)
