Yes you can, just tell him that you don't want to cheat on him and that
you'll hook him up with someone else...

sounds good, but is hard to do specially when you like that person but
you seen someone else, is complicated...

id just let them both know then that u are just dating now... till ya
decide what u do want.

Can do. It reqquires tact & caring for the others feelings.
Does NOT mean you need to be rude or discourteous.

Can I tell them that? Yes. Without hurting their feelings? That depends
on the person. I wouldn't deliberately try to hurt their feelings but,
for some, just saying it might hurt their feelings. I don't believe in
'withholding information' from them just so their feelings don't get
hurt. Goes with my thoughts on ambiguity. Don't hold out on telling
someone "how it is" just to avoid potentially hurting their feelings.
Leaving someone in a position of having to second-guess your intentions
is far, far more painful, IMO.

I care about other peoples feelings,!!!
that is just me, jen don't know how you would
but Im not like that!!

Morena, do you think not telling someone is less hurtful than being
honest from the get-go? Personally, I think leading someone on, either
by being nonspecific or by other actions, is far more hurtful than just
being honest and upfront about your feelings.

you just said it girl,, (if your leading someone on)
but that is not the case!!

just will love to keep his friendship, that's all
and like I said girl, don't like to be rude or hurt others feelings!!

I don't like to be rude or hurt anyone's feelings, either, but sometimes
it just happens, no matter what you say or do. All you can do is be
truthful, but with tact and diplomacy.

If you drag it out and then tell him it will hurt him worst and then you
may not even get a chance to have him as a friend. the sooner the
better.

Not a hard decision. If they can't handle only bein your friend, they're
not worth havin as a friend or even havin around at all. If someone
genuinely cares for you, they will think of what's best for you. If they
say they do but only do stuff to benefit themselves (like keep tryin to
get at ya after ya told em no you're with someone), cut em loose. F*ck
it. Just extra drama.

That's why we have semaphore.

Yeah I can and that is because I'm such a sweet guy

that you are sweet shadow!!! and love your pic. man!!

Thank you Morena

How are you doing tonight

I think you can tell someone that, and I think you will find a way of
doing it without hurting anyones feelings!! Its better to be honest with
them and let them hear it from you then to let them hear it from someone
else.
No one has to be rude..geesh!! I know Morena will find the right words
and the right time~~good luck girl!!

Mo -- Seriously, it can be done, but, to a certain extent, it depends on
the other person's willingness to take it the way you intended. If he's
bound and determined to HAVE his feelings hurt, then there's really
nothing you can do about it. Diplomacy and tact on your part, yes, but
you can never really have full control over the other person's reaction.
He may react differently from one day to the next, from one moment to
the next....

make sense lex,,,

shadow Im just chillin, u know me !!!

yes I would truly hope that I could for I hate to give off mix signs.
