How do I get out of this?
Hey all, sorry for not being here for such a long time.
Since the last time I posted, I started dating a guy from work. And here's the thing: I really quite like him and enjoy hanging out with him, but I'm not in love with him. For the last few weeks I've been trying to figure out a way to tell him this, in as diplomatic a way as possible, because he's really a nice bloke and he's obviously way into me.
It's really confusing for me, because I've never been in a position to turn someone down, as in the past I've always been the one being turned down, so I know how it feels to be rejected, and I hate to do that to someone else. I will have to at some point, though, because as nice as the guy is, he's a rubbish kisser and the very thought of going any further than that with him squicks me out.
Also, we work together, and everyone at work seems to think that since we're going out we must be having a relationship, so I've got co-workers, some of whom never even talked to me before, now coming up to me and telling me what a great couple they think we are. And the guy has been working there for way longer than I have and everyone likes him way more than they like me, so naturally when I break up with him they'll all hate me for doing that to him.
Now I remember why I'm not into this whole interacting with people thing: it's just too complicated. Sigh.
If you're still reading this: thank you. I just really needed to get that off my chest before I go insane.
