Hugs to you sweetie, it sucks. I have to be honest that from what you've shared about him, I didn't think you'd be able to tolerate an LTR with him. The unreliability/flakiness thing. I'm glad he was honest that he isn't going to change. Not to sound Pollyana-ish, but maybe in the end you will have gained a friend who is fun and a good person to know, and you'll be more open to meet someone who is better suited for you. But I know that today is not the day to look at the bright side. Go easy on the friendship thing with him, at least right away ok? Give yourself a month or two to recover a little and then reconsider the friends thing. I do think you can be friends with him but I think it will be easier when the feelings die down.

I'm sorry. At least you are getting a better sense of what you really want and you are opening yourself up to find it. It still sucks though when you really like someone but are bad as a couple. That has happened to me before too.
Ugh I'm still bummed but mostly because I haven't heard from him--not like I expected to or anything but still. Eating chicken fingers and fries for lunch or else I know I'll starve myself inadvertently bc I hate eating when I'm upset
((mcc)) I'm so sorry you're going through this, and it's natural to be bummed. It definitely sounds like it is for the best though, so I'm also happy for you...it's just more of a "long run" thing.
Sorry lady. It sucks when you give someone you like to be with, but for one reason or another, it just doesn't work out. It's hard meeting cool people!
But you will be ok. As for all your future plans that you're afraid if missing out on...don't worry about it. Maybe you'll be friends and you can still go apple picking and winter gala-ing...or maybe you'll find a new apple picking partner
Thanks again. I had a great night with my girlfriend and of course Tux texted as soon as my mom asked if I had heard from him this afternoon. I responded only to show him the awesome website I created at work and had the last word in the convo.
I almost cried when I got home but sucked it up. I have hiking plans this weekend, as well as seeing liu and going to a blog event that I've planned for weeks. I'll be ok
