Just Say No Thank You

I have found it difficult lately saying no...to repeat dates.

As per my last post, I mentioned a few nice fellows who have expressed an interest in me, but the mojo is nowhere to be found.

The latest Michael has been calling but I've only texted back.

He called last Thursday and as busy as I've been (hence the shortage on blog entries), I could have made a few moments to call if I really liked the guy...right?

But I didn't.

The guilt is killing me though.

Do I call and just say no thank you? Or do I just leave it alone...

I don't want to have the reputation of a bitch or a badly-mannered girl/woman - it's just awkward. I mean, do you ever really want to be on the receiving end of that call? Do you want someone to say to you "look, I'm just not that into you" over the phone?

And I'm not willing to sacrifice any other time to be a mensch and go out with him to then dump him. Granted I'd have a clearer conscience but I'd also end up with the bill...and probably a several awkward silences on top of it.

My team of advisers have suggested I just let it go. Don't call, don't text.

Thank goodness for call display so I can screen his calls.

Here's to hoping I'm not cursed in the love department for life because I'm really just saying no (thank you).
