Just tell her I don't feel the same way. I'm outta here. Have a good life. That's it.

How incredibly dishonest would that be?! "I'm not really interested in you, but because I feel like I'm supposed to be, I would like to continue seeing you."

I completely understand, but I'm not looking for relationship "advice." I'm wondering if someone can come up with an excuse for me to stop by for a short time. Very different things.

wait, you come here asking for "excuses" to give her as to why you want to break up with her but you don't want to be "totally dishonest"?? Maybe a little dishonest is ok though?

dude, just tell her how you feel.

nah, if you've been "dating" for four months, even breaking up over the phone is a little harsh. you owe it to her to see her in person and break up with her that way.

In all seriousness, you should be up front. Say, "I really like you, but I don't see this going anywhere because of the lack of intimacy." If she doesn't put out then, break it off.

- This talk was in person as I feel obligated to tell this girl in person if it's over.
- We've been going out for 4 months in which time we've basically kissed after each date. That's it.

So, I only ever see her when we go somewhere together. We don't just hang out for no reason. But I don't want to take her to dinner again because it will be uncomfortable the entire time.

My question: if I have to see her in person but don't want to talk to her for 2 hours uncomfortably before ending things, what do I do?


You've been with this girl for 4 months and you havent hit it yet?

That's hard to do when Mom is waiting in the car for him.

I like where this is going, giggidy giggidy giggidy giggidy giggidy goo!

Reading comprehension FTL. The only question he asked was the best way to break up with her without having to go through the awkwardness of asking her out to dinner first. He never asked for excuses, and he never asked for advice on what to tell her. Are you commenting in the wrong thread, or do you simply put the same BS in every post regardless of the subject?

he specifically asked for excuses, even used the word "excuses" several times...

"I'm wondering if someone can come up with an excuse for me "
"Dude, I'm just wondering if someone can think of a good excuse "
"just seeing if someone can think of a good excuse"

You know what? You can try fedexing a letter to her like my co-worker did with his girlfriend.

Wow that's such an easy solution just tell her the truth. Be like "Hey so what do you think of our relationship so far we have been dating for 4 months now, I like you your a great person, but don't you think something is missing here"? Tell her about how you think she's kind of uptight and can't open up. Tell her your not a sexual beast but you like intimacy here and there and she is getting you a bit frustrated.

Honestly man why are you even asking a question like this here.

I'm betting on the latter.

Why is a good question. Answer: 30% because I've got a slow day at work, 70% because I really would rather not spend 2 hours uncomfortably chatting at dinner before telling her it's over and I was hoping that someone could give me something to tell her.

And actually, I think the idea of going for a walk might work. Every scenario in my head involved going over there and sitting on her couch talking to her. Walking her dog is something she does anyway, and would give the conversation some limits (takes x amount of time to walk dog, thus conversation is x minutes long). She doesn't live far, and I know she walks her dog every night (one knock against her: she has a yap dog, not an intelligent, quiet, protective dog; very annoying), so I could just call her one night and ask if I could join her walking her dog.

"I'm wondering if someone can come up with an excuse for me "
"Dude, I'm just wondering if someone can think of a good excuse "
"just seeing if someone can think of a good excuse"

"Dude, I'm just wondering if someone can think of a good excuse to go over there without dragging her to an uncomfortable dinner. I'm merely claiming I'm mature, not creative. I'm not asking for advice on how to run my life, just seeing if someone can think of a good excuse. That's it. Not a big deal. If I don't see something that sounds like a good idea, I'll just have her out for dinner Thursday and be done with it. "

"I completely understand, but I'm not looking for relationship "advice." I'm wondering if someone can come up with an excuse for me to stop by for a short time"

When you pulled those quotes out, you had to have read the words surrounding them where he specifically says what he wants an excuse for. You had to know i would go back and bring in the entire context. If you didn't you're an idiot, if you did then you're a troll.... which is it?

definitely gotta do it at her house or someplace public that you can just leave, don't let her come to your house, cuz then she might cry and whine and not leave for hours.

Who cares about making plans for walking dog etc. Just go to her house and break up with her. I wouldnt want to have my gf plan a fun activity with me making me think everything is cool and then breaking up with me. The random show up at the door is ftw, and it's over.

And god I hate small annoying dogs. My gf has one also, Id wanna feed it to a snake.
