I have run into a problem. On another dating site I met a man and began IMing. We have talked a total of three times, online only.

After meeting one,myself and it's not going well on my side, I've told the guy that a beau from a past relationship has asked for a second chance and I've agreed. It lets them down without any feelings of "its you".
yes be honest with him tell him that you,re feelings for him is just for a friend nothing else. that you r not rushing into anything with anybody it,s always best to play with a open deck feelings may get hurt but it,s better to have a short hurt then a long hurt.you will feel better and he will know where he stands with you .hope this helped you some out .... wendy :o)smile it will be fine
