I want to end this short term relationship. Message help

[Hopefullyoneday12]

I have recently been enjoying / not enjoying a casual relationship with someone. But he just isn't as keen on me as I am on him and isn't putting as much effort in as I have been. Although when we do speak (almost daily) we get on really well, he tells me about his life and his day and the sex has been some of the best times of my life.

But, we started speaking and meeting up in December and it's now March and I'm still feeling confused and like it's a challenge. Or that I'm just not quite good enough to get his full attention.

I don't want to ghost him or block and delete as he hasn't done anything awful but I would like to send a message saying it's done because I know that if he sends me a normal message I'll just reply and this thing will just slowly keep burning out which is more painful.

I can't keep spending my days thinking about when he's going to reply or want to meet up with me. It's been 2 weeks since I've actually seen him. So I do know that it's over.

Help on forming a nice but to the point message, If anyone has time. Thanks x

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Kept kidding myself I just wanted some casual fun when, in reality, I was crying out for someone to want me, notice me, make me a priority. It is either there for him or it isn't. You can't force him to want you more but I think you need to be honest with him and say your feelings have changed and you want more than a casual thing. If he is up for it, he will let you know, and quickly. If he isn't, then you need to move on - which means telling him you want different things and blocking him.

I have someone in my life now who makes me feel amazing and even though we live together, I still feel insecure. It is a curse. Maybe I should read that book someone mentioned earlier....

You've simply got to want to do it. People struggle so much with being honest with eachother. I would message him and say

Hey Dan, just wandering where you see us going with this? We've not met up in a couple of weeks now. Your a great guy and I have enjoyed getting to know you but it doesn't feel we are progressing. Do you think it's time to call it a day or would you like to talk about things?
