Hurt with the truth...? That's what I've always been told. But I can't hurt people. I can't intentionally say something that I know what the outcome is going to be, Only when romantic feelings are involved, my relationships with friends can be painfully honest sometimes, I just can't hurt someones ego. I'm a wimp, I know this, but I never learned how it is that you can actually let someone down easy. Luckily, more times than not, the typical hints will get your point across, but what happens when that doesn't register? What do you say? I'm really asking, I have no clue. I have this great, wonderful guy who I've been friends with for a few years, and we went out on a date, and it was HORRIBLE! Like, pulling fingernails out, horrible. For me, anyway. Why I couldn't look at him and say, "yeah, this was a bad idea, please take me home," is beyond me, I did the whole "I have a headache..." I know, I know, shame me now, I deserve it. Now, he's calling all the time, sending flowers, and meets me after work...and I'm at a loss. Wasn't he on the same date I was on? Didn't he understand that it was bad? So, tell me this, how do you hurt someone who's just so sweet? I need to quit making myself responsible for what other people feel, I know that, damn.
