Have you ever dated someone and start to lose interest? Since there is not a relationship that has to end, you wonder what to really say? It can be tricky, especially when you would be interested in a friendship. Is there a way to let someone down easy and still remain friends with them?

My friend Chris said he realized that he isn’t interested in someone he met and is dating casually. He wants to pursue someone else but thinks he could be cool friends with the her. I think it is unfair to expect friendship from her – at least right away! Would you be friends with someone who dumped you?

The best way to dump someone is FAST. Don’t delay it. I don’t know why Chris is waiting to pull the plug but people don’t like when someone wastes their time. What do you say to end it?
