How do I let a woman down easy?

"Hey, I really like you, but I just don't think we have the type of connection that would make for a good long term relationship"

A lot of people mistakenly think that by venting out their life problem constantly to their date, their gf/bf, they would get the pat in the back. That’s how they were conditioned or built over the years. Maybe by their parents, maybe by their exes.

The logic goes like this: “oh if I complain more they will give me more attention.”

I would just tell her that not only you don’t like to hear the negativity, but you want to hear more of the positivity in her life. Redirect her to be a “half-full glass” person. If she can’t catch that, there’s always a door. Men or women with healthy mindset are always willing to walk away from negativity and red flags.

Be honest with her about it. There's no better way. And you are often helping her.

I was in a similar situation. I advised her that first she should deal with all that stuff that is generating negative feelings to her. And maybe there will be another moment to meet each other in the future. But as long as she was in that situation, I would feel uncomfortable and it was not the moment.

The reality: some people take care of the situation and other people don't, ever. But exactly, you are not their therapist. And you (ideally) want to be only with people in a healthy situation.

Yeah, many people keep staying with "not healed" people. That's lack of auto self love.

The truth is, if they love you they're going to not take it well regardless. I do the, "you are gorgeous and great and you deserve better than me, I don't feel like I can fully commit (or whatever) and I would love to remain good." Chances are they will still throw some jabs but they will chill out. I'm still friends with the majority of my exes this way.

I wonder who started this business about letting a woman (or anyone) down “easily”.

There is no such self-serving way to do that, any more than if you like your job that your boss can find an easy way to say, “You’re fired.”

It’s rejection. You’re being told you’re “sweet”, “a great guy”, “anyone would be lucky to be with you…”,

but,

You’re missing something. In some way you’re deficient.

That’s what lands no matter how you try to make it go down easily.

Leave and Block her.

she only tells me about the negative stuff that goes on in her life. I don’t want to be someones therapist and I don’t want to fix anyone. I’m also not attracted to her anymore.

Wait till you find out about marriage and side chicks

Blocking isn’t a bad thing as long as everything has been said. I think it’s very freeing. Of course you should tell her first that you both aren’t compatible and it’s nothing personal. But then go for the block (after like 1-2 replies). It’s better for both of you. Trust me I always regretted it not blocking earlier.

Also there are so many women in this world. Not being compatible is completely fine. Just move on and let both of you find someone else that is compatible.
