So I’ve been talking to this girl for a few weeks and I’ve come to the realization that I don’t like her romantically and I wouldn’t want to date her long term nor am I dying to have sex with her. We just don’t have similar lifestyles and values and the more we speak the more I’m enjoying her presence the way I would a friend.

We have fun conversations about similar interests, especially regarding fashion and music and I could totally imagine myself remaining close friends with her and doing things platonically with her, but I’m just not sure how to go about that.

I don’t want to hurt feelings and leave her so bitter that she wants nothing to do with me. Any suggestions?
