It is so difficult to hurt someone ( or fear that we may hurt them) but we have to realize that you are hurting them more in the long run by leading them on.
Hubby is very good at wording things like this so he usually handles the rejection but it's always something like..."we really enjoyed that night, but we just don't feel the chemistry is right between all us and would rather just remain friends so feelings aren't hurt in the future" |
WoW! He's good! I probably would have started off with a little more honest info like : " You know (name) , me and (mrs.) we were way blitzed the other nite, if you know what I mean....(mrs.) and I really like you and (name) and are just afraid that WE let the moment get out of hand, (Mrs) thinks we would all be better off just as social friends and don't want to rush the rest. We really respect you and (name) and think the friendship has a better chance for a long future if we slow things down for a while."
