HOW do you do it when the other party involved is interested when you are not?
Mr Ballet apparently had a swell time and thinks I am amazing. As from my previous post, I didn't feel a romantic connection.
After thinking perhaps he was not interested as we hadn't spoken since our date, he called me up before I left for the long weekend. Nothing was mentioned about another date, but he DID mention he no longer attends church but took up salsa dancing instead. Huuhhh? That is a moot point, but strange none the less..
That brings me to today:
Text message from Mr Ballet:
"Let's go out again if you want to. There's a live music thing at <store> on Thursday night or we could do something on the weekend."
So what is a girl to do?
I have been on the receiving end of a enjoying a date and being ignored by my date who apparently wasn't into me. At least have the
Welll..... I MAY have ya know.. did the same thing in the past due to being too chicken to actually come out and say I was not interested.
I do not have the heart to let someone down. It breaks MY heart to reject someone as I know how crappy it is... but it's necessary.
So half an hour later I kicked my guilty conscious into the closet and replied:
"I have to be honest, I did have a good time when we went out and think you're a cool guy, but just did not feel a romantic connection. I'm really sorry about that, but don't want you wasting your time."
I waited for perhaps silence or a "Yeah, okay" sort of reply.. this is what I got:
"Thanks for being honest and straightforward. I respect that. You're a good woman :)"
So why do I feel like a real jerk? :(

It's hard to reject someone but that's also the ADULT thing for you to do, kudos for being honest.
Oh you should not feel like a jerk! You so did the right thing, always follow your heart, do unto others and all that and you can't go wrong.
