IT IS OVER between us as far as
dating and any close relationship
goes...we're friends, no more.
So find yourself a new girlfriend.
Sometimes love is only sleeping,
though we feel otherwise;
but in this case, between us,
I assure you, it's not true -
You love me, but I don't love you.
You may call with sweet phrases
and sentiments, but trust me,
I'm not reciprocating.
Haven't you noticed already?!
I've told you once, I've told you
a hundred times...too politely,
it would seem, that we're not
meant to be; that there is no 'we.'
It's over between us; I'm your friend,
so here's the tough love approach
you've forced me to take: Go find
yourself another girl, I'm not for grabs.

Sorry, but I have to put it bluntly. You don't catch on quickly to subtleties and hints, even obvious clues.

Too direct, or still too subtle?

Ouch! That was.. blunt. Good job getting those feelings out there without editing them at all. Thank you very much for entering this in my contest.

Well if this doesn't pierce his thick brain you have a real problem. I hope posting this has helped. Thanks for sharing.

ouch. I would hate to be on the receiving end of this one!... i have to commend your honesty really fast- most people just find it easier to lie. at the same time though dude, try to be understanding.. people can't help their feelings.

True,
But some men don't know how to take 'no' for an answer...at least it's not a restraining order. My sister had to have the sheriff serve one to one of her ex-boyfriends.

Very forthright with your honesty even though you know it would hurt someone.
Unfortunately "someone" has a difficult time understanding plain English
Certainly got my attention!
Well said.
