I probably wouldn't even know if someone was crushing on me. I seem to be oblivious to it, as I tend to think they're just being nice and enjoy conversation. That's me in real life too. :laugh:
Then, when conversations go cold, it seems like end of discussion. Then again, I'm probably misreading the cue cards again. :laugh:1 -

What’s that horror movie where the girl has a toothbrush in her mouth the whole time and they’re running around in a mausoleum or something?0 -
I prefer the cold hard truth in all my personal relationships. It can be painful, but it leaves no room for questioning and in the end makes it easier for both people to move on.3

Here's the thing. Letting someone down easy does not do THEM any favors. It leaves room for misinterpretation, and gives people false hope. When you let someone down easy, that's for YOU. Because you can't handle delivering the honest message about what you're not feeling.
The whole question about letting someone down easy isn't even framed properly. This isn't about the dump-ee, it's ACTUALLY about the dump-er. And if you're going to dump someone, please have the stones to make it clear what's going on. It's better for everyone.
I’m liking this despite usage of the words ‘dumper’ and ‘dumpee’0 -

I chuckled @ “dumper” and “dumpee”
But you are 100% correct...0 -

Heartbreaker and ee instead?
I think @denny_mac is just trying to avoid finding a dead bunny in a pot on his stove...

To be the dumpee or dumper wouldn't a "relationship" have to be vocalized and agreed upon to some degree. You cant dumper if theres no real dumpee.
Sorry, just wanted to say dumpee and dumper.0 -

If you're open and honest with me, I'll respect you. If you just ghost me, I have no use for you.Here's the thing. Letting someone down easy does not do THEM any favors.

You’re a wise man, Dennis. I agree. In any sort of relationship, I want to know if someone’s sick of me. It may sting for a minute, but it hurts a million times less than realizing you’re being slowly pushed away because someone’s too much of a chicken to speak up about how they feel.
I’ve got that “midwestern nice” that others mentioned that does make it hard to be that blunt to people in person, but people I only know online? Sorry. You may love me or hate me after I speak, but I’m going to tell you exactly what I think.1 -

While one would think so, there are those people who get easily confused regarding relationships. Therefore, they may feel like a slighted dumpee when in actuality nothing even close to a relationship existed.1 -
Being open and honest is best. Ignoring & stringing along only pisses me off.1

Well my honest answer is just say it. But in a way thats not hurtful. And dont make me ask for an answer. Respect is key.1

I’ll typically use the “new phone, who dis?” line when it’s time to call it quits so I can appreciate if someone uses it on me.3

Everyone knows mfp is a whirlwind of crushes and micro-romances, oftentimes simultaneously. But what to do when that starts to fade?
This came up in a conversation yesterday and I thought it was interesting enough to make a thread about. So what do you prefer? Do you want the bald truth if someone has lost interest in you? If you’re the one losing interest, do you feel like you need to spare their feelings?
This is not specific to MFP but this could be a way to vaguely let someone know that it’s safe to be blunt.. or not.
EDIT: Also, how do you know when someone is over you and moved on?
lose interest in me?
I don't understand this question.....3 -

I'm still trying to figure out what crushes and micro-romances are.0
