I have a friend who met someone from one of those online dating services about 3 weeks ago. The first 2 dates went fine I guess except from the moment he met her he's said "she's really nice, but...." and then a plethora of excuses came (she's got young kids, she works weekends, blah blah blah). Obviously (to me) no chemistry, so why the hell did he keep going out with her, or communicating with her ::) I don't know. Now he wants out but is too afraid to hurt her feelings cuz she's always saying how great and wonderful he is.
So, guys, how do you gently break up with someone? Single gals, what's easiest to hear if you're on the receiving end?

Be straight up and upfront. None of this email, text message or phone call bulls**t. Guys don't like to play games and would rather be told face to face so they can move on. Its the right thing to do.

1. Online dating services are for losers
2. You really have to ask why he keeps "communicating" with her despite no chemistry?

not to be a dick but why do chicks date guys they really dont have interest in? whats the line? "a girls got to eat?" well I guy has to...well you know...

I agree with the straight foreward and honest approach, its only been 3 or so dates there shouldnt be that high of expectations yet so it really shouldnt be that big a deal.

Clarification:
This is a guy. He doesn't want to hurt her feelings, but I also think he's easily manipulated so every time she says how great she thinks he is, the harder it becomes for him.
I told him after the 2nd date to walk away. Of course he didn't listen and caved after she called him.
-
"Goodbye lady" :)
-
Haha did you idiots even read her post carefully. I think the guy was just giving her the benefit of the doubt to see if maybe a 2nd or 3rd date he might get to know her and see if there was chemistry. Sorry but if you're an adult and you are out to meet and experience new people you're can't really get to know someone after one date. If he doesn't feel attraction towards her he should tell her. But there is nothing wrong with being friends. And online dating can be a really great experience or a really bad one.

I still say either way you owe it to the person to be upfront and not cowardice.

That's exactly what he was doing. I could tell just by what "he said/she said" that it wasn't going to go anywhere. Personally, I think she sounds a little whacky (sympathy seeker type), but then again I'm only hearing one side.
Anyway, he's on his way over to do some electrical work so I'll get a full update.

rofl being friends. By not having chemistry after a few dates really means she hasn't put out yet and he doesn't feel like chasing anymore

Post it on her Facebook wall.

I say "I'm not ready to settle down..." (which means I wanna sleep with someone other than you)
I say "I think we need a break..."
I say "My ex and I are starting to talk... and we've decided to try again..."
I stop calling/emailing and stop taking their calls :'(
-
I always just piss them off and then let them breakup with me.
-
So...... what happened? It's been a couple months. Is he still with her just sitting there being miserable?

done..and done... :)

Bench, that is some funny shit!!!

gabby: "i am going to fucking kill you"
But she sounded perfect for you ;D

I don't know. I think most can tell after the first date if you want a second one. But also, some people are a tad nervous so it's good to try a second date. Why men think they need to take a female out to dinner on the first date. Just meet casually over a few cocktails or coffee or something.
Just be honest, the truth hurts for sure, but after just 2 dates or so, it isn't the end of the world.

Depends on the level of engagement, but generally stop calling, texting, or emailing. The message is clear: I'm moving on; you should too. :(

i learned many things through that relationship....the main thing i learned is that people with borderline personality disorder are hopeless, defective human beings who are not worth anything...

I just learned that as a start to my new year this year.... They are breeding such creatures by the millions anymore. Like a cancer to all womanhood. Better to just live a life of a bootycall bachelor til Viagra stops working. Then end it all with an awesome drug overdose so as to not be a burden to and family left behind during old age.
Oh, and the upfront thing always is best in that situation. Stringing her along just makes her attachment even stronger and when it does end you end up with some psychopath doing whatever her imagination can fathom.
