So besides holding back on will power, what are some ways to limit contact with someone your interested in but know nothing serious will come out of it...

What are the physical things you can do without feeling guilty doing it? Do you give one words answers when you get text and phone calls? Do you just bring up the topic with the significant other? Do you just find reasons not to see him/her? What are some things you have done or would do?

How about actually making clear to the person that you are not looking for anything serious with them?? Why hint around and play with people's feelings, when being honest would serve you both well?

Why the need to play games? Just tell them you are not interested in more than a friendship and be done with it. No need to lead someone on and waste their time and possibly hurt their feelings even more later because they may be hanging on for more than friendship.

So, what your saying is: you're interested in her. You know nothing will come of it (have you asked her out?), and you want to stop being friends. Is that the jist of it?

i am interested in her but i know she is no good for me. I do not mean that in a way to say she is a bad girl or is a bad influence. We are intimate and we both kind of know already that is where it is capped. It has nothing to do with leading anybody on...

I would try and see if something can come of it. If not, I would simply tell them I need time to get past it and revisit later. One word answers and excuses are immature. Face it, deal with it and move on.

Thanks for the sound advice. Yes it has more with me falling for her and not getting what i want more then her. I'm sure going just talking it out will prove to be the best route..
