I think you made the mistake of being too nice. There have been some really nice couples (some too young for us
) that have gotten the standard "we are not compatible" response. They seem like great people - and probably people we might enjoy hanging out with in a non-sexual way...
But to be honest - no one is really looking for a non-sexual friendship. Sure they happen - they develop - but ultimately we are all looking for playmates. That's why we are here.
My advice would be to simply cut it off, chalk it up and learn to say no up front.
It saves a lot of trouble on the back end.
