Ending a relationship before it even starts can be a tricky path to tread.
While it seems more and more people are opting for the "ghosting" method, whereby you just never text again, this message reassures us that there are still people out there who mind their manners when it comes to dating.
When Erin went on a date with this gent, it was clear to both of them that the chemistry just wasn't there.
After a couple of weeks of no communication, he decided to step up to the plate and text her, even though he didn't want to continue seeing her.
Explaining why she shared the image on Facebook, Erin told
Cosmpolitan: "Men should see how positive of an impact this type of honesty can have on both parties."
We don't think this is just a lesson for men - the fairer sex is definitely guilty of ghosting too - but we thought it was definitely worth sharing this fine example of grown up dating.
