"Act like you are sorry." Either you are sorry or you aren't. If you are, you don't have to act. Enough of this moral relativism - "pretend that you are nice, pretend to care, pretend you are sorry." Put yourself in the other person's shoes. Rejection is painful, but occasionally necessary. It is always best to be honest with yourself and the other. Remember to treat that person as you would yourself want to be treated. Be your best self in this kind of situation. Be truthful, be sensitive, BE genuinely sincere, and above all, please, please be kind.
