Breaking up is hard to do

OK - so "breaking up" may be too strong of a term, but I did just call it quits with a guy I've been semi-dating for the last few months. Once the nausea from working up the nerve to tell him passes, I'm sure I'll be fine!

He's a super nice guy, we've had some good times, but ultimately the heart wants what the heart wants (or doesn't want what it doesn't want, in this case). It's been coming for awhile and it finally hit me this week while I was in Austin for work. I was telling my friend Nicole about the situation and she finally said, "I still don't get what the issue is." I began to explain again and she said, "Ingrid - you're not into him. You never bring him up. You're not excited to spend time with him or talk to him. Just end it." Ah, the truth can be hard.

Dating is just no fun sometimes. I'm not sure there's anything worse than telling someone you're just not into them. (Actually - there are lots of things that I'm quite sure are worse, but it's still a sucky feeling.)

Luckily Maverick still thinks I'm a pretty nice girl, so it'll all be just fine. :-)
