I bet this is one of the biggest topics when it comes to dating or just friendship. I'm talking about the " I'll call you" line. Let's face it, we've all said it a thousand times and we haven't always meant it. Why do we do that? Do we think we are doing the other person a favor by letting them think we are going to call and then don't? Are we so insecure ourselves that we can't tell the other person, " sorry, I just don't think it would work between us"? We even say it in casual conversation with friends when we really have no intent to call that person at all. Maybe we think that we are just so damn special that by telling the other person we'll call it will make their day. Is it so hard for us not to say it? Seriously, just keep your mouth shut and move on.
How many times has this happened to you? Did it hurt or upset you? How many times have you done it to someone else and not even thought about what the other person felt when you didn't call?
No, this hasn't happened to me lately nor have I done it to someone else lately. Just reflecting on the past.

You're right. It would be best just to say, "no thanks". By not saying it, what comes next is certainly more uncomfortable than if we would just be honest in the first place.
