    Dating: 2 in/1 out

    Okay, suppose you've met a two interesting women. You begin to date them both casually. They're both loads of fun. You like them, they like you. But one edges out there other and you're on the verge of intimacy. Obviously the right thing to do at this point is to give up the other girl.

    But do you call her? Or do you just cut contact? What's the best policy, and what do you say? "You're wonderful, I really like you. But I'm starting a relationship with someone else. I'm sorry!"

    If you dated a few times I think the right thing to do is to call her. I wouldn't mention you are ending it and because there is someone else involved. I'd just say that you didn't think it was working out/you weren't feeling a connection and leave it at that.

    I concur.

    Take care

    Wasn't there a scene about this in an episode of Friends? Chandler is having a difficult time breaking up with a girl. Joey says, "Why do you have to break up with her? Just be a man. Stop calling her".

    Just stop calling her. If she calls you, explain that you don't think it's going to work out but you did have a good time, best wishes blah blah buh bye.

    I personally this it effin'g sucks balls to be told in words that I'm not good enough or whatever. I'm not stupid I take a hint! (Sometimes it takes 2)

    Hahah. Oh shit. I remember that. I take it a step further, though. I **** 'em both if I can. But I'm trying real hard to be a decent guy.

    What if you do feel a connection, though? What if you really like them both, but you've still got to choose one? Do you still tell her you didn't feel a connection? I mean, truth is I feel a connection with pretty much any chick with a nice T&A quotient.

    I'm thinking it might be impossible to choose just one and if you like them both.

    I remember being in a similar situation many many moons ago and there were 2 guys in my life I really liked. If I'd had to choose, doubt I'd have been able too.

    It all ended and when they found out about each other.....and so, I didn't have to choose anymore.

    I was a right tart back in the day lol *embarrassed look*

    does your obsessive paranoia about accounts being hacked stem from your communist upbringing?
    Is it burnin'? Well, f-ck, now you're learnin'.
