I met this guy a few weeks back. He's cool, nice, treats me well. He's been taking me out on dates and paying every time. He's wealthy, his family has money and he's the only son. He makes good money on top of it. He's educated and has a great career. He calls/texts everyday. We never had sex. Last time he wanted to but I said I wasn't ready. He was trying to convince me but I stick to saying no.

Ive noticed, every time we were out he was always wearing his hat. One time I asked him and he just ignored the subject. I left it at that. Anyway, last night we were together. I jokingly asked him again and he did remove his hat. Well, he looked different without his hat. I don't want to sound mean or anything but he's balding and has receding hairline. I'm not attracted to him ( with no hat on). He really likes me and has said that he only dating me. So hes exclusive with me. The problem is I don't feel the same way. How do I tell him and what reason should I say? I've hurt some guys before but they deserve it. This guy doesn't. How do I do it in a less hurtful way possible?

I was thinking of doing something stupid so he will hate me then he will end things between us. Any suggestions please? Thanks.

You have GOT to be kidding me...

But I'm sure, based on your many other threads, that you can just choose another from your man reserves and carry on.

I've never hated anyone that I've broken up with.

I typically go with something along the lines of, "I'm sorry, but this isn't going to work".

Why don't you send him over to me? I'd love to date a great guy with his life together and who wants a relationship.

You're just going to have to be honest, both with him and yourself. Tell him that you've had a good time, but you don't feel the same level of attraction, and that you would prefer to just cut things off now before they got too serious.

There is no way to avoid disappointing him, but you will feel better about yourself, and less guilty in the long run, if you are just up front and honest.

And -1 for nice guys.

Why is it shallow? She just doesn't feel chemistry. If she did, I'm sure the balding wouldn't matter. Just be honest, tell him you don't feel the kind of romantic chemistry you should and wish him luck. No need to apologize, nor give a reason.

Tell him you want a bad guy.

One who doesn't have anything going for him except for a full head of hair and a nice body.

That'll help him put things into perspective lol.

It's shallow bc she liked him until she found out that he's going bald. Then she wanted to break up with him by making him hate her, resulting in him dumping her (like that girl did in that movie).

Shallow and immature people of the world: meet your queen.
