I agree. Life is rough! And if you don’t want to hurt someone, then you should never date — in fact, don’t even smile at anyone! 😆 The reality is that people are going to like you and you’re going to disappoint them. And guess what? It will happen in the reverse as well. Love and rejection go hand in hand. You try and you win or lose. But if you don’t try, you don’t get a shot at winning. Nobody likes to reject a person, but it’s much kinder to be honest then to drag something on or disappear because you don’t want to face someone you don’t like. Let them take care of themselves and let them be the ones to decide if they’re okay or not.
As for this guy, let it play out a little more. It’s very normal for two people to have slightly different feelings at the same time — but if after three or four dates you just aren’t interested in seeing him again, then let him down gently. He will probably be disappointed, but he’s going to find someone else to date. 😉 And…. you may warm up to him if you give yourself the chance. But the point is — give yourself the chance, and see what happens. Life’s a journey. Take it. Don’t sit on the bleachers. 🙂
