First of all -- as I've already posted, dating is hard after a certain age, and after a long-term marriage. I met a few very nice men, and had several dates with two of them from Match. I am "with" one of them, and we are exclusive now, verbally agreed to monogamy, feels great. I'm happy to be seeing one person only now. But the other man that I had a few dates with has suddenly popped back up. He was on an extended holiday vacation, and has come back thinking we would start up where we left off, which was pretty much friendly dating, no intimacy at all, not even hand-holding. I just sent him a reponse email, after mulling on it for several days. I'm not happy with what I said, but couldn't come up with anything better. So I'm curious about how those of you who have been dating have handled the "it was great but it's over" email or phonecall or whatever. Rejection is so painful, and I don't like being the one to dish it out. Basically, it feels like shit. So input! Come on -- make me feel better, please!
