Feeling Like a Tease

My god, I feel so bad right now. I just had to give one of my friends the 'I just wanna be friends' speech.

I've kind of seen it coming for a while, but I was hoping the classic 'ignore it and it will go away' ploy would work. Sigh. Now I feel like a bitch. He's a nice guy, but I just won't get into a relationship like that until I'm, well, more matched on the outside to the inside.

It hurt me to do it, because I know it hurt him, but 'I like you for who, not what, you are' sounds better in fiction.
