Telling my Girlfriend, Is it Good Time?

[GossamerMoon]

You know, now that I've been thinking on it, I have a thought.

My initial reaction was 1000% in favour of what Bowyn said. He's right that many women would reflect this back upon themselves.

My thought is that you know her, we don't. If you think that what he said is on the mark, go with it. And given some things you mentioned, I tend to think that may be. If she truly feels that time marks a "complete waste," find a different, gentler way to break up.

However, if you go that route, you run the risk that she'll find out second-hand, and that has the potential to be far more hurtful. If you're going to be out at college, it will probably get around to her, especially if you all have shared classmates where you're going to school. Do you follow?

If you decide to tell her the truth now, be sure to assure her that it's not her fault, that it's no one's fault. You love her as a person and good friend, and you hoped that would turn into romantic love. You didn't want it to end like this, but it's not fair to lead her on. Etc.

Most of all, it is good to know that you are really trying to consider her emotional/psychological well being. That says more about you than you know.
