“Honesty is the Best Policy as my mother would say” Just think about how it is for you, when someone never calls you back after going out on a date and you never hear from them. It is so nerve wracking. So make sure you walk the talk and tell people when you no longer want to date them. And just like the “do unto others, like you would want done to you”. Be kind in your words. Now it depends upon the situation whether you would do this by email, phone, or in person. If you were emailing back and forth online, then an email is appropriate. If you gone out on a date, and you feel it right then and now. Do it at the end of the date. If you been dating a couple of times, then a phone call should be sufficient. If it has gotten serious and dating a couple of months, then do it in person. I know this can be uncomfortable, but be a big girl with your big girl pants, and tell it like it is! Now, here is a guideline on what to say and add or delete any items that are not appropriate to situation: Hi …. “I would like to talk with you for a moment, and these things are never easy, but in spite of the good times/conversations we’ve shared, I think it is best not to continue dating. You’re a wonderful person with many great qualities. But I am looking for someone who matches with my unique interests, goals and personality in a different way. I certainly hope you can understand because I enjoyed meeting you and wish you the best. I just know I am not the right person for you and want you to find the one that is.” You dont have to go into any details of why, unless they ask of course.
Not too bad right? You can do it!
All the best in your dating adventures!
