Request for the Next Ex

If you don't really like me, please just say so.

You may think you're being kind and sparing my feelings, but really, the silent treatment is a really shitty and immature way to let a guy down. Instead of ignoring my messages (and I've kept them to a minimum, way to go personal self-control!), just man up and say, "you know, I just don't think we're connecting" or something. It may sting me like a sonofabitch at first, but at least I'll know what the hell you're thinking, instead of sitting back and wondering for days, trying to interpret the meaning of your sudden lack of response.

(Oh yeah, so since my last post a couple of weeks ago, I've been communicating steadily with a very cute new guy who lives a few towns away but is moving closer soon. We'd exchange multiple text messages daily, and have one-to-three hour nightly conversations over the phone. We spent a day together last week, which admittedly felt more awkward than either of us would have liked, but were still communicating afterward until he suddenly stopped responding altogether a couple of days ago. Part of me worries if everything's OK with him, but the realist in me knows it's more likely that he's simply lost interest in me like every other guy I've met lately, and is hoping I'll take the hint and go away.)
