Guys how did you let a woman down in the past when she was catching feelings? Did you ghost or were straight-forward? Ladies, how have you let down guys in the past that wanted to go beyond FWB?
I was inspired to ask while browsing Reddit, I know don't judge and I came across this post:
View: https://www.reddit.com/r/dating/comments/xukdcg/my_fwb_has_fallen_in_love_with_me_what_do_i_do/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3My [M25] FWB/friend with benefits [F23] has recently confessed that she is in love with me. She spoke in such a way that she could still have plausible deniability.
In other words she didn't expressly say that it is me but that there is another guy that she met "number-of-months" ago on "dating site" and that they're just friends but she has fallen in love with him.. she descriped this other man to me and I am 99% sure it is me. Unless there's another man she met around the same time as me on the same website that also happens to have the same physical features and hobbies and interests as me..unlikely.
Anyways..here comes my problem:
1) I really don't want to hurt her. I have gotten to a point where I do care about her but in the platonic sense.
2) I don't see myself dating her.
How do I let her down gently?
I‘ve been in this situation and I had to let him go. He started to get jealous and put expectations on me I was never going to meet. Guys how do you let a woman down when she is catching feelings? Do you ghost or are straight-forward? Ladies, how have you let down guys in the past that wanted to go beyond FWB?
