Giving up

I've been dating a new lady. It became fairly obvious that she wasn't TOO interested as time went on, but this has been extra frustrating. I feel led on. She acted very interested at first, but soon stopped returning phone calls. But, there is the problem. She still calls back, it just takes several days. Now, I am not a high maintenance dater, but it is just rude to not call someone back within a day.

So, we hung out last night, made food, went to get ice cream, talked, kissed... then I heard her today refer to me as her friend. Ouch. I've been led on once before, and it was a crappy, crappy feeling. So, I've decided to let this one go. Normally, I make it a point to end every relationship, or dating relationship, in person... and to never let something just fizzle out, because that is a slap in the face. But, I HATE being led on, and I would like to slap her in the face.

If you don't know what you want, you have to make that crystal clear from the start. It's hurtful, and hateful, to keep someone close enough to date when you're alone, but far enough away to call a friend around others.

The worst part? We're both going to the same show on Saturday... do I have to pretend to still be interested until then? It's a shame, by the way, she is blessed in the looks department. Oh well, more fish.

Hopefully they're not bitches.
