Hey all,

Is an email an ok way to kind of break it off with a guy? We're not exclusive. Met online, been on a couple dates a week for a month or so. He definitively is more connected/interested than I am. I kept telling myself to hold out and see how the next date went. Maybe things would finally spark...but nothing. Nothing! I've lost complete interest and his absolutely horrible kissing doesn't help matters. So, shall I just write a note through email which is pretty much the only way we converse anyways as he does live an hour of way. Help, please?

My post was intended to be along the lines of the whole "do unto others" thing, so that's where I was coming from in that post talking about being dumped...sorry I wasn't clear ;-). I would hate it with a passion if someone called me or worse, did a face to face, to break things off after only a few dates, so I wouldn't dream of doing that to someone else.

But if it's done to me in the future, I will try to consider that perhaps he thought he was being brave and doing the right thing, so was operating from his own "do unto others" viewpoint.

I'm with Sheri on this. A couple of dates, just kissing and no sex - e-mail is OK. That's how I would prefer to hear it. I just had the same situation on my hands this week.
