Fake niceness is nauseating.
Why do you think it's fake?
It reads as very inauthentic. Just like HR workers who pretend to be nice (and on your side) while prioritising the company's interests over yours.
Why is thanking someone for their time and hoping they find someone new inauthentic to you? Choosing not to date someone any longer isn't hostile.
Because who uses "thank you for taking the time to get to know each other" in common everyday usage?
It's not a common everyday thing to tell someone that because it's not a common everyday thing to stop dating someone. Why is it so hard to imagine that the person is thankful for the time they spent together?
The choice of words is really off to me. Sounds too much like corporate speak I guess.
