Yikes! OK trust me on this, eat lunch with the marketing folks from time to time. Marketing chicks know about the importance of quality packaging!

At my last company, it was Finance or Business Development. Yee-haw!

Here is the solution.

monster · 05-29-2009, 07:49 PM

don't bother asking her the questions, here are the answers:

It's not you it's me, I just want something more, something.... else
the time just isn't right for us
I need more time to find myself
no of course there isn't anyone else
i wasn't lying when i said i loved you it's just that....oh i don't know
this is exactly the problem, you just won't give me enough space

here, have a beer and stop being so damn sexist

monster: you missed "It's not that I don't love you, it's just that I'm not in love with you."

That's the one the bastardexfiance[spit - ding!] used on me.

i wasn't sure if you were ready for that one...

here, have another beer. it's OK, it's Bud, I'm not trying to get you drunk

I believe in honesty, but I also believe in trying to preserve someone's feelings. Having said that, what does everyone think is a GOOD way to approach blowing someone off? I tried to let a guy down easy once and he was on his knees bawling and begging and I thought "Um, this is part of WHY..."

You can't really say:

1) When you walk into the room, I become very disappointed
2) When you kiss me, I feel I might heave
3) If I hear you say "I seen him/her at the store" one more time I might kill you
4) Sometimes I visibly roll my eyes when the phone rings and I see it's you

Brutal honesty is always best, but there's a fine line between tact and honesty sometimes. Give the girl a break. I would say, however, that "she's just not that into you."

I say this with my usual sarcasm drizzled over truth.

My apologies if this has already been covered...I've only read page 1 and page 15. I'll be going back to read through pages 2-14, but it's gonna take a while to read everyone's replies and your responses.

Relationships at this stage (preparing for possibility of marriage) should NOT be so hard or require this much work, and if one person is having to do all of the 'work' and/or compromising...it isn't very much of a partnership, IMO.

Get your answers from her if you wish, but cut your losses and run. Myself, I wouldn't even give them the satisfaction of thinking I thought enough of them to even want to know 'why'. It is enough if *I* know it is done. I don't need to give them an opportunity to think they had me so wrapped up in them that I had to keep coming back for 'answers' I already knew.

Best of luck,
hh

The big question for me right now is "So how long would you have me waiting around to see when you're ready to even talk?"

Whether I'm suffering the loss of my life or dodged a bullet is a function that takes the answer to that question as an input.

Would you also ask "how tight do you need to squeeze the vice on my balls before you're ready to let me go?" or would you just take the vice off yourself and walk away.

you don't need to know how much she intends to torture you -she's already done enough to demonstrate that you're dodging a bullet.

I think Pie's right. she's gay.
