we both started dating right after getting out of serious relationships. we actually broke up with our exs on the same day with out prior knowledge. We found this out at a work party two days later. Started dating a month ago, and actually went away for the weekend, labor day. We had sex for the first time down there. Now a week later i'm just done. she beautiful, smart, older...shes 30 im 25....and is very successful.

I dont know what it is, i just know this isnt "the one" and i dont think its right to waste her time at this point in the game. If she was like 20 i'd keep her around for kicks, but i respect this one too much. But how do i keep things cool? just be really honest and blame it on the rebound thing and unsettled feelings etc? needing to be single?

Help.......

*Edit*

I guess i should give a reason for how i feel....... i saw an old crush from 5 years ago. Shes married and stuff, and she asked me to dinner saturday night. And well we ended up making out in the parking lot. Soooo thats that.

Folks, this is why relationships between coworkers are a Bad Idea (tm).

Sorry, no advice to offer.

Good looking, great woman, good personality, you know her, she's single, available, successful, willing to screw your brains out and you want to reject your man card cause of mixed feelings?
:confused:

Buy some viagra and keep your card.

sounds like what it was, so that would be honest. she may be thinking the same thing. just be honest. at least she could never call you a lying motherfvcker, etc. etc. which would really make work worse.


edit: theyll probably never be "cool". chances of this ending well are low.

And of course it never occured to you the problem might not be her.

You're right, break up with her for her own good. You're mental :p

sing her this nice song
she should get the idea
One More Minute
---------------
by Weird Al Yankovic

Well I heard that you're leavin'
Gonna leave me far behind
'cause you found a brand new lover
You decided that I'm not your kind

So I pulled your name out of my Rolodex
And I tore all your pictures in two
And I burned down the malt shop where we used to go
Just because it reminds me of you

That's right, you ain't gonna see me cryin'
I'm glad that you found somebody new
'cause I'd rather spend eternity
Eating shards of broken glass
Than spend one more minute with you

I guess I might seem kind of bitter
You've got me feeling down in the dumps
'cause I'm stranded all alone at the gas station of love
And I have to use the self service pumps!

Oh so, honey, let me help you with that suitcase
You ain't gonna break my heart in two
'cause I'd rather get a hundred thousand paper cuts on my face
Then spend one more minute with you

I'd rather rip out my intestines with a fork
Then watch you going out with other men
I'd rather slam my fingers in a door
Again and again and again and again and again
(Oh can't ya see what I'm trying to tell ya darling!)

I'd rather have my blood sucked out by leeches
Shove an ice pick under a toenail or two
I'd rather clean all the bathrooms
in Grand Central Station... with my tongue
Then spend one more minute with you.

Yes, I'd rather jump naked on a huge pile of thumbtacks
Or stick my nostrils together with Krazy Glue
I'd rather dive into a swimming pool
filled with double edged razor blades
Then spend one more minute with you

I'd rather rip my heart right outta my ribcage
With my bare hands and then throw it on the floor
And stomp on it 'till I die!!!!
(GASP!)
Then spend... one more minute... with you

i am surprised you didn't see and read this in my YAGT/PSA

small company, we dont have HR. LOL

I was just kidding anyway...small company? Oh man, thats going to make things even worse. Can you get her to break up with you some how? Maybe find and exploit one of her deal breakers...like say you never want kids or something?

...you sure there's no one you can report her to for sexually harassing you? :D
