To be able to stay friends is the best way. When you think about it, dating is like trying on clothes. Not that I am trying to compare people to clothes but it works. You try on a shirt, see how it fits, if it doesn't, try on another one. Its the facts of dating. Its not always going to work out so why not end it as friends with no hard feelings. In my dating experience though it has never really worked out this way. I have pursued multiple girls and each one after the first, second or even third date, once they have decided that I'm not the "right fit" decide that instead of telling me they feel that ignoring me is the best way to go about this. Quote from one of these girls to her friend was "I'm just not going to initiate anything and hopefully he will get the hint." Other girls tell me that they didnt get my text message or my voicemail that i sent 5 days earlier. Or they just flat out ignore my attempts at communication. What i am trying to say "B" is that more people, boys and girls, need to be more like your "Britaney" girl. Once she realized that it wasnt a "good fit" she talked to you about it like a mature adult. Rather than being selfish and treating you like you have no feelings and that you are just a... thing. So now there are no hard feelings and you both are actually still friends. I think that is another important part of the break- up that i hate. The "Lets be friends" line. The girls that have told me that I have never heard form again. I try to communicate and get ignored. If you dont want to be friends then dont say it. just say "hey I'm not interested. I dont see it working out. Have a nice life." Be more tactful of coarse but to sugar coat it to me is insulting. I would feel that they are looking at me like I am a child that needs pampering. <br />Anyway, thank you "B" for this blog. It has helped me to try and be a more magnanimous person in the dating world and to not take things so personal. Thanks man.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
