explanation why I couldn't date him? I see him around, he's very cute and very nice. I'm seeing someone, and when he asked me out...I could have just said, "Thanks, but I'm seeing someone"...
Instead, I told him I lost his number and that's why I was out of contact (he asked me out months before) then I decided to be upfront and I told him I was seeing someone for a while now, and yacked on about how I'm off limits and taken.
Now I feel dumb, but I'm wondering if there's anything subconcious to my reaction.
Thanks for reading.

You like the other guy but you knew you couldn't date him because you are already seeing someone. Your subconscious wouldn't let you hurt anyone feelings so you fessed up. Be thankful you have a good heart.

Women have a tendency to over explain themselves, in order to make themselves feel more accepted.
This goes back to the old days of the women being dependent on the man for practically everything, and her having to be the good little women who could not make her own decisions.
Learn to say, "thank you for asking me out, but I am dating someone." That is all he needed to hear. When you explain too much you make yourself appear to be weak and indecisive.

well u probably felt guilty for not telling him the whole truth in the first place so when you finally got the chance to it ALL came out. It happens like that for a lot of people.

My diagnosis is that you're a) a nice person, b) he may well be the kinda guy you like and would go for otherwise, so you definitely don't want to hurt his feelings, and c) see a.
