me (f20) and my situationship (m21) of 2 months asks me "what are we?"
How do I kindly tell someone I don't feel the spark without hurting them?
So there's this guy in my college, one year senior. He's really hardworking, done multiple internships, and has genuinely helped me with college stuff. Overall a really good person honestly.
A few weeks back I got to know through a common friend that he likes me. We then spent a few days together, even celebrated his birthday where I got him flowers and a couple of gifts.
He's great on paper and I do care about him as a person. But I just don't feel that romantic spark. And I have certain things I'm looking for in a future partner that I can't really compromise on.
I don't want to ghost him or give him false hope either. He deserves a proper answer but I don't know how to say "I don't feel it" without making it awkward since we're in the same college and might run into each other.
How do you guys handle this? What's the kindest way to reject someone without completely ruining things? 🙏
