Thanks to work, I have 2 weeks til I see her again.
I don't think I can afford to be honest about ending the relationship here and now. One, I do like her, and enjoy our time together, and two, we crossed a certain threshold last night ( I think everyone knows what I'm talking about) and if I told her I wanted to break up now, I think see see that as me using her, and rightly so.

Definately something I have to talk to my sis about. *sigh* this is why I don't date damnit.
Simply let her know how you feel for her. Let her know you enjoy spending time with her, and that you like her, but aren't sure if it's something you see lasting. If she is wanting that, she'll leave. If she is at the same place your at, she may be fine with it. Regardless, wouldn't you want to know? Whether it upsets her or not is irrevelant really. If you hold back and say "well, I've thought about it the last 3 months, but I can't say it's worth spending time with you", she's far more likely to be pissed off. I know I would be.

Letting her know you don't want her gone, you enjoy her company and presence, but are quite unsure whether it will be a lasting relationship seems prudent. She may end up upset, but then again, a mature person would appreciate the honesty and that is just how things are.
