Last night, I told him I can't accept the Epiphone Les Paul.
He asked me why, I said there'd be trouble at home. To which he responded he could just say it was lying around unused and he decided to give it away. I told him firmly I didn't want it. He said alright.

>have the decency not to give him the "let's just be friends" line.

What should I say then? I honestly have no idea what to say or how to phrase it.

And I have no idea what I'm doing. Leading on or turning off or whatever the hell it is. I feel like I'm standing still and it's all moving it's way like a Merry-go-Round.
