I have a dillema. I know that this relationship I am in with Meg is not going to work out, and I even regret letting her take my virginity. Now, I am not usually one to engage in exercises in futility. If I know that somehting isn't going to work, I stop doing it. My problem is that I am concerned about Meg's feelings. Call me a wuss. I don't want to hurt her, but I don't want to continue in a relationship I won't be happy in.
Here is why I don't think I will be happy:
She lacks patience. She is very quick to use the horn when she is driving and it irritates the hell out of me.
She has a horrible potty mouth. Sure, I swear a lot, but not like this girl. It seems that every other word that comes out of her mouth is a four-letter word that you can't say on TV.
We have absolutely nothing in common. I am a bit of a snob, and, well, she is not. SHe likes to watch "Charmed" on TNT. I liek to watch the History Channel or the news. She hates the military. I am quite the opposite.
She has slept with a lot of guys. So much that it makes me uncomfortable being around her.
Now, I know that the right thing to do is to end the relationship as soon as possible, like when I see her tomorrow. I will have to tell her that we have absolutely nothing in common and I can't see us really being happy together. Because I want her to be happy as much as I want myself to be happy, the best course of action is to just be friends. I dread doing this, because I hate confrontations. I try to avoid them whenever possible. I care what others think of me. I know I shouldn't, but I'm insecure like that. What I really care about is what our mutual friend Logan will think of me. I guess I'll find out when I see her tomorrow, and then go bowling with him...
Also, slightly related to this... I wonder what the etiquette is regarding rebound time if you are the one doign the dumping... Are you supposed to wait before trying to start another relationship? If so, how long? Oh well... I guess I'll post this on the DATING SUCKS group's board and try to get some answers...

As for rebound time, again, it's up to you. At the end of the day, it has to be about what makes you happy
Love and kisses
