I posted about this relationship a few days ago. I really don't know what to say other than I am not feeling what I was in the beginning.

Anyone have a surefire way of letting someone down easy?

She gets angry and wants an explanation. She keeps telling me I was using her or she was a game to me. But she also sends me texts saying she misses me and can't forget me. The break up is very new...just a few days.

I really went in with 100% sincere intentions.

Can't edit the title, I meant to say, "She is demanding an explanation for why I terminated the relationship"

Just say this, from your other thread about her:

OP, she will just have to accept your apology.

What she is looking for is closure: something she may never find whether or not she gets a more detailed explanation of your reasons for wanting to end things.

If you've told her your ending things, attempted to explain things to her, and she still remains angry/demanding and in need of further explanations, then it's up to you to determine how much you want to keep going back and forth with her.

I recommend that you don't allow her to brow beat you or keep dragging on the break up. Let her go and move on.

Tell her exactly what you wrote here.
Than tell her that's the last you care to speak of it.

She doesn't have to accept it, she can hold on to whatever she wants to. You have zero control over her ability to understand or form an understanding with you.

If she rejects your reasoning their is literally nothing you can do that will make it better for her. She has to accept things for herself

Is this about the mom with the two year old that you just started an online relationship with (and as I understand it haven't met yet)?

Tell her she didn't note in her profile that she has a child, and you aren't interested in a relationship with a mother of a small child.

I can't possibly see that she could argue that, and maybe in the future she'll note that in her dating profile, although that's a problem too because there are pedophiles out there screening for moms with kids.

No. You have me confused with another poster.

Neither one of us has a kid. And we have met in person. In fact, we met the old fashioned way...in person in a chance encounter at a mall.

Tell her that you're friend zoning her and move on.

Yeah, ghosting. Well, that's works great for me when a woman lets me down. I really don't want to hear a lie, LOL.

Bottom-line: Whatever the reason given, it basically boils down to "I don't want to be with you". People should embrace/accept that, and move on.

Oops, sorry. So is this the girl who calls other men ugly a lot? (I really hope I haven't guessed wrong again!)

I think you can just say we're not a match. If she persists in asking, you can say well one of the red flags is that you seem to call other men ugly a lot, and you've seemed jealous and that makes me uncomfortable.

Hope you don't come home to a rabbit boiling on the stove. ;D
