Don’t try to stay friends with her if you’re not going to date her. It’s going to make things much harder for her if you do. Instead, you can just stop calling her and if it seems like she’s upset about this, explain that she’s a great person, but you’re not a match. Not everyone is going to be a match for you and not everyone is going to be a match for her. That’s the bottom line, and that’s why what I’ve described is really all you have to do. If you try to do more than that, after only a week of dating, you’re going to complicate things. There’s no way she is going to feel horrible and abandoned after only dating for a week — and if she does have those feelings, it’s not because of you.
I hope that helps, and that you’ll follow me @AskAprilcom on Twitter and on Facebook at this link: [url][/url].
