I'm not sorry.
Most polite 'I-am-breaking-up-with-you' email I have ever received (from guy 5 of the dateable 6):
"I just wanted to let you know that after last Thursday evening I've been thinking about us and I have come to the decision that I don't really see it going anywhere. I'm just not feeling a strong connection/ spark.
I wanted to take the time to get to you know and give a relationship every opportunity to grow so it has been nice to talk to you day to day. I think we have a lot in common and I value the opinions you have offered to me. But I wanted to be honest with you and let you know how I feel, hence this email.
I'm sorry to be a wet blanket, and I'm sorry that I'm doing it via email too (I know it's rather impersonal). I'll admit I'm somewhat of a coward when it comes to being honest at the risk of hurting someone.
I know you will find the one who is right for you, but it's just not me."
What the... wait a minute! Were we even dating?!! I didn't realize that having 3 dates with someone meant you were actually dating - I just thought we were going on dates. I will admit it was honest, open and respectful of him to send me this email, but was it really necessary? That is up for debate. Am I heartbroken over this email? Not at all, because I am grateful that he said the words so that I didn't have too.
I'm not sorry.
