    I was, just dating. But she wanted more out of it than me.. and I've been there. Didn't want to string her on. I feel bad though, it's never easy.

    You did the right thing. Nothing worse than being led on by someone. Either way she'd be mad at you, right?

    I wouldn't be mad at someone who pulled the plug because we wanted different things out of a relationship. Then again, I spent 5 years with someone who wanted something else and it was way worse... hopefully she saw it that way?

    I'm sorry you're in pain. You did the right thing!

    Better sooner than later. It does suck though. For both parties. But it's better than dragging it on knowing it's not going to be long term.

    You did the right thing. Nothing worse than being strung along. I would totally appreciate your honesty in that respect :flowerforyou:

    *hugs* We've all been there, and though it sucks, you will survive. We all do.

    Though I think I'm telling myself this as much as I am telling you...

    I feel your pain. I broke up with someone last night, too. It wasn't too long (3 months) but it's still painful no matter which side you're on.

    Kudos to you for recognizing the truth and doing the right thing.

    I'm sure she feels pretty bad now but in the long run you did the right thing. She would feel worse if she grew more attached to you.

    I think it's courageous and admirable that you cut it off as soon as you realized your goals weren't compatible. Even if it hurts, in the long run you are both better off than if you were to string it along.

    I dread this! I've just started dating again and breaking it off is the worst part of it! I think she'll appreciate that you did it now rather than later after more time and feelings were invested.

    Hugs to you...

    Good for you instead of leading her on. No matter if you are the one doing the breaking up or being the dumpee - it so suck. But you made the right choice.

    What did you say to her? Short and sweet, let her down gently?

    Just told her I wanted to date other people and I understood that she wanted more from me but I wasn't ready for that. Told her I'm sorry but didn't want to lead her on and drag it out. It sucks but better now than in a few months.
