Your talking to little miss sensative here (although I do have a hard side (sometimes)). I'm not saying stuff everyone elses feelings and only think of yourself. Not at all. There is no 'nice' way of finishing with somone. But, if you have to, then yes, do it with sensativity.I was dumped back in the summer. He was very straight with me. He just said, 'Its not working, I want to finish, we don't gel and it would be better if we were just mates'. Yes, I did not like hearing that too much, but repected his honesty and got over it quickly. We are mates now. There is no point beating around the bush and giving people false hope (I've done that to somone before).

Jessica 0 #46 February 15, 2002 "Jell" is, in fact, the BEST word for what she was conveying, but since this is not the SAT, and everyone understood it, and it is not, in fact, INcorrect, I felt compelled to point that out.As you will see in your perusal of m-w.com, a synonym for "gel" is "set," and oh look, under intransitive uses: "to be becoming : be suitable : FIT "Also -- she's British, and they spell things funny over there.Either word is OK. The English language is not inflexible; that's why I like it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JDBoston 0 #48 February 15, 2002 Call me obsessive-compulsive, but while we're on the subject of spelling and grammar, I have only two little requests for people. My birthday isn't till August, but let's see what we can do:1) YOUR vs. YOU'RE - "your" = possessive (opposite of "my"), "you're" = "you are"For example: "Your putting it in the wrong hole." = WRONG"You're putting it in the wrong hole." = RIGHT2) ITS vs. IT'S - See above."Its just a sheep." = WRONG"It's just a sheep." = RIGHTI know everyone's typing fast and stuff is never gonna be perfect, and hey, we even have a bunch of funny-talking foreigners (like the Brits!) on the board, but let's try to nail down the basics.Thanks and blue skies....I'll stop now.

SpeedRacer 1 #49 February 15, 2002 QuoteI wouldnt sweat it man. Hell, at least your GIVING the let's-be-friends talk and not GETTING it like I always am, lol. Seems like every girl I know just wants to dump their problems on me, not date me....apparently I'm a good listener/talker or something...whoda thunk it? I should start charging for that shit..... Yep I've been there, especially when I was younger..The two words every man dreads from a hot chick are the "f" word and the "s" word.Friends....as in let's just be themand,Sweet....as in you're very sweet....Sucks, doesn't it? No means no, and "You're very sweet" means "no thank you"!!Women have very distinct & seperate categories for "friends" and potential lovers, so if you get yourself lodged in the friend category its very hard to get out....Speed Racer"Fill your hand, you son-of-a-bitch!"
