Hey guys,

We all know plates don’t last forever. Sooner or later they do something that warrants a soft next or a hard next altogether.

Whenever I make the internal decision that the situation is cooked and to move on, I have the tendency to feel really guilty as I go radio silent on them. (Or as I gradually respond less and less)

As they continue to reach out and text me I just feel awful as I see the situation dissolve.

I’m sure a lot of you guys experience similar things, because at the end of the day we’re not robots and do form connections to these girls in some form or fashion, but I’d be curious to know what sort of key phrases or principles you remind yourself of to get back on track.
