Question - (16 March 2012) 3 Answers - (Newest, 17 March 2012)
A female Canada age 30-35, *raphicChiky writes:

Okay so I just got out of a 2 year relationship where I was cheated on and lied to constantly. I am not ready to date or for commitment for a long time. There is this guy who likes me though who I have been hanging out with for a while and texting, he is really sweet, and honest, and caring and the complete opposite of my ex. When he told me he liked me I didn’t play games and let him know right away I didn’t want a relationship or any sort of commitment at that time. He had also said he didn’t want to develop interest in someone who would be sleeping around and I told him I had no intentions to I like what we had going. At the time this was true, but since I have been with him I have been with two other guys. I was never committed and Its not like I couldn’t be with whoever I want, but he still likes me and I tried to break it off another way (I don’t want to hurt him) I sluffed off his texts and acted uninterested, told him I was into hard drugs which I have been lately, and just told him im not a good girl for him. He didn’t get the hint, so I am meeting with him tonight…whats the best way to let him know I have been with other guys and am not committed to him like that without hurting him or making myself seem promiscuous??

Thanksss!

Just be honest with him. That's all any of us want in the end, even when it hurts. So say, I know you have feelings for me, but I don't have feelings for you, I am sorry to hurt you, but that is how it is and I don't want to lead you on.

Just tell give to him straight....that fact that u are using excuses will actually lead him on and he will come to realize that you have lied.

Danielepew agony auntYou don't have to tell him what you're into. All the information he needs is found in this statement: "Hey, (insert name here): I notice you still love me, and I'm sorry to break your heart but I don't. Please don't insist".
