If a dating relationship is going nowhere, don’t drag it out to avoid an awkward conversation. Love tells the truth. Sometimes the kindest thing you can do is be honest, clear, and compassionate before deeper pain is created. Proverbs 28:23 says, “In the end, people appreciate honest criticism far more than flattery.”
