Why can't guys be honest? When it comes to telling a female that he's not interested. There is no reason to play games. Like not calling or canceling dates at the last minute. I don't understand. To me thats very childish.

Hi Alize997, I believe some women can be the same way and guys are asking the same question about women. I do not believe honesty is gender specific, it just that some people cannot find a way to be honest without the fear of hurting others feelings, or just do not know how to be honest. Sometimes when people get together the inital attraction seems great, but when they do get a little closer, they find that this person is wonderful, but not exactly right fot them. Sort of like seeing a GREAT pair of shoes, but you know they are not your style, you buy them anyway, wear them once and they sit in the bottom of the closet until you give them away. I would rather try on the shoes, and hey if they do not suit me, I do not have to buy them... Ya know?

What your saying is so true. But don't allow the other person to fall for you. Before you come to the realization that their not right for you. The reason, is because it hurts when you invest alot in a relationship, and then find out the other person wasn't that into you.

I do feel what you are saying, maybe I misunderstood, I was going with the "First Date" thing. So I think now what you are saying is you do not want to be led (spelling?), led on. Correct? That is very messed up, but ya know.. it happens, let me ask you this, have you EVER done this before.. I mean date someone, then you find after time you wern't for each other?..... If so how did you end it?

you don't want to depress the person especially when you think that they hav etheir hopes high on you and you are afraid that if you tell them directly they may do anything negative. Slow withdrawal is childish but safe.

What your saying is true. But I would prefer to be told straight out. So that I can move on. Of course it will hurt, but rejection does happen.
