How do I tell the person that I’ve been casually seeing for 5months and who I thought cared more then they did that I’m just not into the whole situation anymore even though at round 2 I was the one to suggest we keep it casual and also I’m terrible at having “real” conversations with people who think it’s all easy breezy covergirl ?

How do I tell the person that I've been casually seeing for 5months and who I thought cared more then they did that I'm just not into the whole situation anymore even though at round 2 I was the one to suggest we keep it casual and also I'm terrible at having "real" conversations with people who think it's all easy breezy covergirl ?

talk to them in person, say “hey, is this working out for you? because it’s not working out for me,” tell them that you thought it would be a good idea but it doesn’t seem like a good idea anymore. (it’s hard for me to think about “how to say things” because no matter how prepared you are, no matter how many responses and chess-moves you try to think ahead to, they’re probably going to surprise you. you just have to start prepared, and be willing to improvise.

which is a good idea for conversations with other people too)

if you have really bad feelings about it, don’t be afraid — make it a clean break. don’t let them weasel around your bad feelings
