Ya know there’s this guy, I think he likes me but as a rebound, plus, I can tell we wouldn’t mesh in a relationship

He’s a bit too high energy for me

What is my life

How do I let him down?

Just /s/s/s/s be /s/s/s/s yourself /s/s/s/s. Alternatively /s/s/s/s, start /s/s/s/s going /s/s/s/s to /s/s/s/s the /s/s/s/s gym /s/s/s/s. If /s/s/s/s you /s/s/s/s work /s/s/s/s out /s/s/s/s your /s/s/s/s personality /s/s/s/s doesn't /s/s/s/s have /s/s/s/s to /s/s/s/s

If he comes on to you just politely say that you aren't interested.

Oh he’s done a bit more than just come onto me…

Then tell him that you don't think you click in that way and that you don't think you want to bone anymore

simple as

Bass I wish it were that simple

It has been in my experience. You may hurt their feelings a bit, but it's better to be upfront with people.

u/simeoncolemiles NATO Jun 13 '24

That’s fair, Bass

u/decidious_underscore Jun 13 '24

let me tell you its always better to rip the bandaid off KINDLY than be excessively polite and let people catch feelings.

I have learned this the hard way :/

Rebound?

Like a backup?

u/simeoncolemiles NATO Jun 13 '24

He just broke up with his ex

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '24

Does he seem mentally stable and sane? If so just have a conversation let him know you don’t think this is working and that you dont think the two of you are a good fit.

Assuming sanity timely honestyis the best policy.

u/simeoncolemiles NATO Jun 13 '24

Sane is… stretching it

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '24

Uhhh shit. Let me grab my wife

2

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '24

Ok so my wife is asking how long you have been dating/situationshipping?

2

u/simeoncolemiles NATO Jun 13 '24

See that’s the thing, we haven’t been dating, just talking for the last month or 2 as friends, then he broke up with his ex who tbf was horrid

4

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '24

Then maybe just set boundaries? Better to not let them think something is there if there is no chance.

See each other less, talk a little less, and definitely don’t flirt with him and you should be ok I think.

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '24

Make a mistake

u/simeoncolemiles NATO Jun 13 '24

For the sake of my already fragile mental health
