There are TONS and TONS of women that are killed by someone they know each day. Just google and you will see. You can't tell me that you don't read the newspaper or watch the news. It is all around you and you don't even know.

Again, I can't believe Felix what you are saying.

Sorry, I thought this was Mr. Cat so I don't know Felix the Cat.

And another thing, you said that you think texting is better then phoning someone to break off a friendship. That makes no sense to me.

Thats an a-hole move bro. The one thing I appreciate is honesty and straight forwardness so I would have been ok with it. I just hate it when people are afraid to reject you or tell you something and chose to disappear and ignore you instead without setting the record straight.

I'm shocked at your replies but maybe I don't know you as I thought I did.
I was emphasizing the phone break up vs. text. The point is so there can be a short dialog.

It all depends on how well you know them. If it's a serious long term relationship, then it's tacky to break up over the phone if you don't have to. Of course if the relationship was abusive, that doesn't count. But most of the time there isn't abuse. If I had talked to someone on the phone regularly, then I think it's cowardly to text them. I think the person breaking it off, just doesn't want to be caught off guard or feel guilty. They don't want to answer any questions.

That said, I've never texted a break up or ended dating by text. I've always done it in person or by phone. They have also fizzled out, where no break up was needed, because we could see that an issue wasn't being resolved. I've had women protest and bug me, but they get over it.

Just another excuse for him to be housebound.

No, I said phone is better. You can't have a conversation by text. It's like passing notes in class.

Even if lots of people are murdered by those close to them, it doesn't mean that it is likely to happen to you. It's like watching the evening news and thinking everything is going wrong, because a bank got robbed and there was an apartment fire. If you are dating a relatively normal person, they aren't going to murder you. If the guy or girl has hit you before, then that's not normal and doesn't apply to what I said. Most break ups are because the guy/girl is just not that into them. That makes for an uncomfortable conversation, that some try to avoid.

No. Wrong. I have broken up with people face to face. Stop assuming. Yes, my gut feelings have told me to ignore a guy or lie (yes LIE) about being involved because I knew he wouldn't take no for an answer.

I know two women that were murdered by their boyfriends/husbands and heard of hundreds more.

Your insistence on downplaying violence against women is very telling. So is your flippant remarks about me as a person.

Yes, and he refuses to date in rain, snow, sleet, and hail. He will back off, until we are clear of April showers. He works out of a very short dating window. Next time, he should have more face time and less text/phone time with his date.
