How do you tell someone your no longer interested in a nice way? ?

Question

I need to end this casual relationship. I have told this guy right from the beginning that I didn't want it to be more. But, I sort of backslid and got caught up in a casual relationship. I want out now.. but he just gave me a laptop. So I sort of feel a little guilty. I need to get over that. I suspect he is having an affair with a married woman and waiting for her to become single. I might be wrong because I feel it's absurd, but people do all kinds of things right or wrong. It's his life.. and I really need to move on.. and out..

Answer 1

Return the laptop. Be clear. Tell him you don't want to have a relationship with him, and it would be better if you guys stop talking all together to make the transition easier. Tell him you wish him the best and just be firm in your decision.

Answer 2

give him back the laptop.

tell him that you really like him as a friend, but you just arent interested in being in a relationship anymore.

Answer 3

Take them on a nice and finally date, and if you didn't feel anything there, then after the date, sit on a bench and start to talk. EX: Zach, i really like you, but i don't think its gonna work out
