Why is this so hard to say when you like the person but circumstances mean it's just not working out the way you want?
I said it last night (by text as we just don't see/speak enough) but have been awake half the night wondering if I've been too hasty, and have that sick empty feeling in the pit of my stomach this morning.
I posted about him being a bit flaky a few months ago, the "letting me down" did get better but we haven't seen each other in more than 2 1/2 weeks and we only live 10 minutes apart.
I like him a lot but have been careful to not emotionally over invest because I am unsure of him, I kind of let it drift on on his terms as when we do meet up we get on brilliantly but last night I just decided enough was enough. I've had reply yet although he's read the message.
I just feel a bit gutted today

It just not working for me!

It sounds like you've done the right thing. "It's just not working for me" doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with either of you, just that your needs are not being met by the relationship.
You've spoken to him already, so it hasn't come out of the blue.
You will feel gutted, but it doesn't mean it was a mistake 
Onwards and upwards.
Thanks, he's the first bloke I've liked since I split up with my exH 2 years ago and he came along at a time I was starting to think I'd lost the capacity to 'feel' anything anymore, so I guess I hoped for more despite the signs that I was being a bit too optimistic.
I'll have a couple of weepy days feeling down I'm sure, then pick myself up again. To put a positive spin on things, an eye infection and a make up ban for 5 days gives me an excuse to not look myself in work
Hi JellyBean, I think I was on your other thread about this guy. Is it the one who kept cancelling last minute, according to him his ex was messing him about with the kids arrangements and he was going running every time she snapped her fingers?
If so, you've done the right thing. Understand you feel gutted but you want someone who isn't flaky and that's perfectly fine. You've given him a few chances. Meeting him has served a purpose for you, and that's great.
yes trippy same guy. You're right, he's had enough chances and I can't see things changing in the future.
It was nice while it lasted (intermittently)
