  Just man up and do the right thing. Communication is the key. Curious why would one keep things going (if not feeling the same way) and not want to hurt their feeling? If one is going to offer "The Boyfriend Experience", that's pretty fucked. Ms Foxy

  Being honest and straightforward with where you are emotionally, you are on accountable for your own actions, not how someone reacts to them, if you have been completely transparent then even if they get their feelings hurt, you haven’t created it, its personally the only way I can manage those sort of situations. But having the preventative chat early, is always easier than the reactive..

  Brutal honesty from the beginning, I would absolutely hate it and feel like such a fool to be strung along. Be honest and upfront prior about your dynamic and what you are actually looking for .

  I think you just need to be straight up with them. Yes it might hurt their feelings now, but it’s better than crushing them later.

  Why are we so terrible at communicating what is - or what we perceive to be - rejection? Is it a human protection mechanism because it’s technically related to pain? And oddly when we do say what we feel or think, it’s usually fine 🤷🏻‍♂️

  Just be honest and upfront. I had an x and he did summersaults better than an acrobat. His actions were not matching what he was saying. When I eventually found out that he no longer wanted to see me as he met someone else it was a release be it a painful one. It allowed me to move forward and make decisions based on the facts not half-truths and lies. Not be upfront is confusing and can cause limerence making the situation worst than it was to begin with. I think it is just better to be straight forward and be honest with how you are feeling and were you are at. It is so much better in the long term. Shells xx

  I wonder if you led her on or pretended to be something you are not.
