When Things Don't Work Out

In case things do not work out, please take care to part gracefully. In such instances, it is not the best decision to say such things over chat. The other person may put forward some very uncomfortable questions that you will have a tough time answering.

The best thing you could do is to send the person an e-mail telling him or her that he or she was not really what you had in mind, but you would like to remain good friends all the same.

You do not have to worry about being pestered by the other person in future; the "good friends" part never fails. Most people dislike to be called a good friend after a close encounter. In most cases, the relationship just sizzles out after this. However, please remember that it is indeed bad manners to part without a word and just stop answering mails without any information at all.

Some people do that because they do not want to offend the other person. But such callousness is really worse.
