I had to tell someone today that I didn't reciprocate(sp) their feelings for me. It made me feel like crap. She was a friend and I never viewed her much further than that.
She worked with me at my current job, then moved to the other office we have in Knoxville. I had to go up there to do some computer work on their office last year in November and I stayed at her place for a few days. I was going out with someone at the time when I was up there, and I'm not the type to fool around. But while I was up there she gave me a pedicure. ( I told my friends about the pedicure thing about 2 months ago and they said this was a dead give away that she wanted to have sex with me.) She said that she was thinking of doing home pedicure's for cash and what not so I never thought anything about it.
I get a call today from her, and she asks me if I'm still going out with my gf I had the last time I saw her. I tell her that we're no longer together. She says she's going to tell me something thats going to creep me out and says that she "really likes" me. My jaw droped, I usually don't hear these words from women to myself.
She asked me what I thought about it and I told her that I never really thought more of her than a friend. It's not that I didn't find her attractive, she actually has some tattoo's that I find very intriqueing. It made me feel really bad to tell her I didn't feel the same way. I still don't feel like I'm ready for another relationship yet, and I'm having a difficult time right now with my own life I don't want to complicate someone elses.
On another note, there are things that do turn me off about her but there are things that I like. But I do not want to be with this person but I feel bad that I couldn't fulfill her expectations.
I'm so bad at rejecting people and breaking up and all that. I'll just start by saying "you know we have to have a talk, and you must know that's not good... So you must know what I want to say next, since you must have been in this situation before, in which case I don't need to keep talking, you can fill in the blank. Bye."
Capricorn Guy, don't feel too bad about it (although it shows your character and sensitivity that you do). It's better that you were honest with her and didn't placate her with a lie and got into a relationship with her and ended up having to break her heart later when a serious emotional bond with you had developed on her side.
When a guy I'm not interested in is making it clear he's interested in me, I usually just ignore it or tell him I don't want to be with anyone period. It does suck, but it's always better to be honest than to lie.
That was nice of you not to avoid confrontation and to tell her upfront how you felt.Most guys just gradually fade away and never really breakup officially. Too bad you are having such a difficult time with the rest of your life right now. that doesn't help. I like what you said about not being able to fulfill her expectations and not wanting to complicate her life. Is that a Cap trait or just you? If that's you, not sure why more women don't tell you how much they like you. You do seem sensitive and caring, I agree with phoenix.

A customer threw money at me the other day. And I mean threw money at me. Luckily there was no coinage involved. :) I had treated this customer with the utmost of respect, had done nothing to him (he must have been like 15 or something), he was
Do you do it? Or are you too scared to do it? I didn't think I could ever do it, but I have this upcoming trip in June that I'm taking and I need some good travel gear, and I've already purchased one bag, and oh yes, a watch, and I just ordered a new wa
What do you do when your ex won't take the initiative to return your stuff to you? I called him once, right after the breakup (in early April), but I refuse to call him again. He never returned my call (like the coward he is, because he knows he's been
