Youve got problems, Ive got advice.
This advice isnt sugar-coatedin fact, its sugar-free, and may even be a little bitter.
Welcome to Tough Love.
I simply want to give you the tools you oughta enrich your damn lives.
If for whatever reason you dont like my advice, feel free tofile a formal complaint here.
Now then, lets get on with it.
The kicker, though, is that Ive never been incredibly into dating her.
We talked about sex from the beginning and we finally crossed that line.
She uses pet names and I dont.
Ive brought her Starbucks twice… and thats the extent of it.
I usually skirt the issue and let her know that Im busy.
But we always end up hanging out when Im bored on Saturday and having sex anyway.
Even though she has said shes fine with just sex, I feel like she wants more.
Ive never been great about breaking up and so Im curious what this jot down of situation requires.
Can I text her?
An in-person awkward conversation?
I want to be respectful but I also dont want it to seem more serious than it is.
First off, you should absolutely talk to herin personabout ending things.
How old are you, dude?
And youve been friendsFRIENDSfor over a year!
Damn, man, have some empathy.
Even if it did, youre looking to end things, so it doesnt matter.
Theres no Serious Relationships Bureau that will note it down on your permanent record.
She might be fine with it ending because she wants something real.
She might be a little confused and youll have to explain whats bothering you.
Have you thought about this situation from her perspective at all?
Perhaps shes not this damaged, precious thing that needs anything beyond your pretty fantastic lovin.
Either way, man up and talk to her, in person, with your mouth.
Youll be fine, and youll have an opportunity to erase the air if theres any confusion.
This what mature, respectful adults do.
Now, before you go, Not Feeling It, I have one more piece of advice.
I could see where one might get confused if you werent explicitly clear about just being sex buddies.
