marikin: When a relationship is doomed from the very beginning, nothing significant has happened, a courteous mail is enough.
If people have a story, definitively face to face

Face to face is best, but if that is not an available option, then do it through chat, and dont provoke positive thoughts on chat and wait till they are stepping away to tell them they will have email when they return. Just say what needs to be said, and leave out the games sigh

Aside from the obvious based solely on lust and rampaging hormones, relationships that form under extreme conditions never work out. Sooner or later one or both realize it. They do not walk, ride or fly off into some heavenly bliss for 'ever after' in some LaLa land as in movies or stories in a book, which now reminds me of the movie Speed in which in fact it is said. It was a good realistic assessment.
But we all feel in our 'gut' if and when a breakup in inevitable or when it's coming, yet so many try and avoid it hoping to make it go away....that is very hard to deal with face to face without a scene. In some cases, the long distance good bye, good luck or go to Hell is the best way but ending it with some dignity for both is best. I have never understood personally the need for cheating as one mentioned...why bother just pack and make the 'exit, stage left'. Honesty and dignity is not that hard, is it.....

I'm just wondering Alex if what you speak of is infatuation....given that infatuation is often mistaken for love...but it really has more to do with the physical aspect than anything else!!!!!!!!!!!

Hugz_n_Kissez: Face to face...any other way is being a coward....If you cant cause you're too far away...then on the phone...if you once 9u]cared for that person...I think a person at least owes that much!!!!!!!!!


Well said, Hugz...simple as that...the poll screams loudly, doesn't it? Any thing less than face to face (or phone only if in-person is IMPOSSIBLE) is...errr very mad don't get me started... Just how insensitive, even cruel, towards someone you once called "dear" can a person be? doh Where's the integrity in that? frustrated

Integrity should be when judges and jury listen to BOTH PARTS .
Integrity is when the crowd doesn t tear into pieces or ridicule someone just for fun, for a taste of blood.

froggy1: Oh well, those movies weren't so great anyway. The ones that I made with my last boyfriend were much better.

Oh, by the way, no reason to come and pick up your stuff after all. I already sold all that on ebay too.


I don't think it's a good idea to air all this personal stuff on a public forum, guys.scold Are you sure there aren't any videos of you two still circulating? If so, where might one purchase them besides Ebay?dunno confused laugh

depends on the individual you are dealing with. Some just don't listen, no matter what you say.sigh

professor My motto, I tell a guy at the beginning of the interaction is that I'm for pleasureflirty if the pain comes, I am gonesuper and I stick to that....seems to work fairly well for me..........

As far as breaking up with me, if you aren't happy with me, hit the door, explain, don't explain, I don't care, I'll figure it out on my own. I don't want to be around someone who doesn't want to be around me.

After they leave, I think and I think, and the only thing I can figure out is that they are gay and haven't come to terms with it yetgiggle works for me...bouquet

I am honest and clear so usually i think its ideal to have a face to face conversation esp. cos the time spent together is time of your life that you've shared and it matters .. so i would end things frankly and in as much of a dignified way as possible.

If someone wants to end things with me .. its simply the same answer.
I would have given too much of me in to keeping the relationship as thats how i would be for someone i truly care about. So .. i would expect a little consideration and hence a little heart to heart talk would do.
