Lets face it, we all have those difficult conversations with people, and they especially seem to be when you have to tell the person. They usually go something like this:
Me: "Hey whats up?"
Bro: " Not much, I think Gloria and I might hang out this weekend though."
Me: "Oh really? Don't be disappointed if 'something' comes up"
Bro: "What do you mean? Do you think she doesn't like me?!!!"
Me: " Well I don't know, but I think that it might be better if you move on."
Bro: "I can't move on. Nobody is better than her. She is completely perfect. Don't tell me that I will find somebody better because I won't!"
Me: "Whoa, just take it easy man! I'm not saying that nothing could happen its just it is extremely unlikely."
Bro: "Why? Am I really that bad?"
Me: "Well I think you can get somebody better."
Bro: "I already told you there is nobody better!"
Me: "There are other fish in the sea that you haven't met yet, you will find somebody."
Bro: "No I won't look."
Me: "You have to; I'm really sorry I have to go now."
And then you walk away quickly.
One thign I enjoyed about this post was the end where you wrote ,"And then you walk away quickly" because that is totally what everyone does after a difficult conversation. One thing i did not like about this conversation was that it does not feel like a genuine conversation that could actually happen. One thing you could improve on is the use of 'something'. I'm not really sure if by 'something' you meant getting a date or 'something' a little more R rated.
