The email break-up

Please ladies, never email/text a man a break-up message especially if it’s your attempt at gaining back some control or the upper hand in a dwindling relationship. Men see right through the veiled attempt. Below is a message my friend sent me that he received from a girl he went on two dates with and never called again.

We need to chat…. Ok well I need to chat… Here is the crappy part…I think that we should just be friends and I feel like a complete a$$hole. BUT I think it is better that I address this now rather than later….when things could potentially be all complicated…not that they are not already. You like me too much…..and I will end up hurting you and that is not what I want to have happen. I have had a ton of fun hanging out with you…but I promise you it is better this way. If you still wanna be my buddy that is cool. If you need to some time away from me that is totally understandable…and I get it. But I hope that we can still hang out some times, and avoid all the weirdness and crap. I can’t date you. I am sorry. I feel like a complete douche sending this to you in an email, but I hate confrontation. If you wanna chat let me know, I will be home tonight.

p.s. My favorite part is the “$” instead of the “s”—Amazing. Perhaps she’s trying to dampen the blow of the insult by using symbols instead of letters?
