How it works
Say what they should know
How long you've been seeing each other and why it isn't right for you.
Choose what to share
No reason, a brief one or an honest one. Say if you're open to friendship, need space or want no contact.
Read it before sending
Make it kinder or clearer, or set a firmer boundary, then copy it.
An example
dating 3 months i don't feel it's right for me brief reason, need space
Hey Alex, I've really enjoyed the last three months, and I've been thinking a lot about us. I don't feel this is right for me, and I'd rather tell you honestly than let it drift. I need some space for now. I'm sorry, and I wish you well.
