I think you may have hit the nail on the head here. Either she didn't realize or, just as bad, didn't much care. I'd have preferred something a bit more concrete as in "You know, I like you but not THAT way." As painful as that would be - at least it would be clear.
You know, I broke up with someone once because I realized after 5 months of dating, that I just really didn't have the feelings for him to take the relationship any further. And I know that I hurt him, but I really don't know if he ever ended up appreciating the fact I did the responsible thing and didn't string him out. I hope he did, because I know how much it hurts when someone does it to you.
LOL. That was back in March (I think before you came back). Came home to find my house trashed, my daughter gone and my wife going 'I'm leaving'. No fight, no argument, no nothing. Just *bam* out of the blue.
Well, okay it was a little worse.
Those things seem to happen out of the blue, don't they? I wasn't married, but it was time for my ex and I to really make that commitment. One day he was fine and we were discussing our life in the future tense and what we'd do in the sense of years, and one day he just up and quits. I still don't really have a reason, either. I really wish HE had had the sense to not take 4 years to flake out on me.I just hate the entire 'dating' thing and I really don't have a lot of available ladies in my circle of friends which leaves me with the irritating problem of having to go and meet people I don't know. Not being the bar type and my hobbies being mostly guy stuff - makes things a bit challenging.
I don't think dating sucks necessarily, I think finding the right person TO date sucks. And when you're not a very conventionally social person it makes it a just a little more sucky.
Thank you for the kind words though! It matters and it DOES help!
I'm glad!
