Trouble saying "no" -- lessons in dating that could have been a serious disaster

Saying "no" is hard for many people. It's especially challenging when part of you isn't completely against something, and part of you is still feeling "off" inside. Being talked into something results in people making decisions they often regret, often because they don't want to the other person's feelings. And then upon hindsight, they blame themselves for going along with things they didn't want.

What do you do when it's a confusing internal combination of, "Yes, kind of" and "No, I don't want to"? Listen in on one client's dating scenario when she had trouble saying "no" and part of her mind was saying "well, maybe". This is a situation that, fortunately, did not result in what could have been a very dangerous on many levels. The story might be different for a lot of people but the internal experience might be familiar for many people who struggle to say "no" and setting boundaries.
