If You Don't Like Me, Please Dump Me

Instead of a disappearing act, guys should break up with a girl if they're not interested.

Dear Gentlemen,

When you know you don't want to see me anymore, I need you to do me a favor: be an adult and dump me. Don't text me pretending that you want to reschedule when you flake out on our plans, don't promise you'll call me later if you're not gonna, don't ask for my number if you have no intention of ever calling me, etc. If I wanted to date someone who mastered the disappearing act, I'd have schtooped a magician. But I didn't, I dated/boyfriended/made out with/dry humped on the dance floor/flirted with you. Now, I need you to breakup with me.

And I'm totally fine with us not working out. I just don't want to be left with false hope and then no explanation. Watch: The Number One Reason Why He Didn't Call Back

1) It makes me feel like an idiot for ever having liked you.

2) Are you trying to make peeps regret thinking you are a hot piece of ass?

3) Do you really want me to have to analyze your inner psyche with my girlfriends?

Listen, I know there are a lot of reasons you may not want to be my man. It's cool, I'm not perfect. I can accept that you took me for a test drive and you now know I'm not what your looking for. Heck, sometimes, I'm not feelin' it too. No harm, no foul. After all, it takes two to, you know…. If you want to be nice, just tell me where you stand. Don't leave me wondering, "Why hasn’t he called?" and "What did I do wrong?" Quiz: Find Out Why He Didn't Call You Back

 

Can you relate?

Sorry, gotta say it...

Guys aren't the only ones who have trouble just cutting the line. Guys disappear, and, on the ladies side, gals try to make more trouble to get the guy to dump her instead of just doing it (been through that a couple times...whew....lotta fun that was).

People just need to Man/Woman up, say what needs to be said, accept the now ex-whatever's tirade as the question, beg, splutter, and blubber why, and then everyone can happily move on (in 3 weeks to a year's time depending on length of relationship, number of friends who give good advice and support, and if you've already been meeting with a therapist regularly).

The idea that men should just come clean is great in theory. But, to be honest, a lot of people can't take that. I can kinda see why people would want to just sneak away.

It's pretty hard when someone plays games like this. Honesty should always be expected, and mightymouse, you should ask him what's up with him and if he's serious or not and then hold him to whatever he says.
