If things are only a week long and not all that Serious, then jus flat out find time when you guys are alone, and tell him.. that you felt things were better when you guys were Friends, and you rather stay that way then be b/f g/f and hopefully that will work, if it dosent then i gues u guys werent as good of friends as you thought you were.. Hope everything woRks out!

Well tell him that you really like him but, that at least for know, you two should only be good friends. Maybe later you two could go out again. Who knows? :)

i cant tell you exactly WHAT too say, just tell the truth, be nice about it, TELL him you still want to be friends. If you guys are true friends without being b/f and g/f, he'll understand and still be friends w/ you!

igivegoodadvice answered Wednesday December 22 2004, 6:26 pm:
i think that you should give him more time, a spark may develop,
if u do dump him, u may find yourself missing him, so give it more time, then think it out

Berri answered Tuesday December 21 2004, 10:28 pm:
If you've only been dating for a week, it shouldn't be that nasty of a breakup. You should just tell him that you loved it when you were friends and that you thought it could maybe be more than that, but you just don't feel the "spark" (like you said). Don't let it drag on any longer, because that'll just make things harder and more painful and decrease the chances of you two remaining friends. Then right after you end it with him, the next time you see him, don't completely ignore the fact that you dated, maybe even joke about it a little, but just act like you did before you were dating. This'll make it a lot less awkward for him and yourself.

Just tell him you would just like to be friends or tell him you dont think of him as a boyfriend he might be mad at you but in about a week he would forget about it

Courtney answered Tuesday December 21 2004, 9:06 pm:
Put it in this form :

You're a nice guy and you're really a excellent friend and boyfriend, but I don't this will work .

Then use things/lines such as "it isn't you,it's me" or "I have inner issues that I need to deal with and I need to deal with them alone." Give reasonable reasons and you may have to back them up with reasonable and good examples . Try to be true , and I'd stick with the first line if I were you . Tell him that it's just not going to work out because you really don't think that it's enough spark/passion . End it with, "it just wasn't meant to be" line . Hope I was some help and good luck . ALSO HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR .

project9 answered Tuesday December 21 2004, 9:02 pm:
It is definitely important to do it sooner rather than later. I haven't been dumped (not that I'm special haha!) But I'm always the dump...er? anyways, I've found that with my friends and people I know it seems to work when you say "I've just realized I'm not ready for a relationship. I like you, but just as my friend" --- BUT this isnt necessarily true... soo... if that isnt true then its best to say "I thought I was ready to go out with you, but to be honest, I don't think I'm ready for it. *insert something here like I like you but I just can't go out, or I only like you as a friend, i made a mistake*

Hope ya got all that and hope it helps. bye

Shortie8959 answered Tuesday December 21 2004, 9:01 pm:
OMG, I was in the SAME situation! I went out with this guy for exactly a week, and I decided I just wanted to be friends! Just tell him how you feel. Tell him you just wanna be friends. Trust me, he'll understand. He might be a little hurt, but he'll get over it! Good luck!
Hope I helped!

AdInA answered Tuesday December 21 2004, 8:45 pm:
if you are going to break up with him, make it soon. it will hurt worse if you wait longer, and don't lead him on! do not break up with him on aim, phone, letter, etc. because that is just plain ol' pathetic. break up with him in person! even though it may be harder, it will get him to understand. don't be like "ok i don't like you as a boyfriend just as a friend, so it's over." explain in detail why you are breaking up with him and how he is a great guy you just don't see him as a boyfriend. tell him you would rather just have him as a friend.

FCNikki2011 answered Tuesday December 21 2004, 8:44 pm:
Dear Molly,
The best thing to do is tell him personally. Talk to him somewhere private, and not a place where people would see you. Tell him calmly and as gentle as possible that you just dont feel the *spark* between you guys. Tell him that there are a million girls out there and theres one thats just PERFECT for him...and that girl is not you. If he's a true friend, he will understand.

dancindanger answered Tuesday December 21 2004, 8:42 pm:
Write a letter saying what comes straight from your heart. Just come flat out and say, "I'm not read for a relationship right now, but we can still be friends. I really care about you, but I don't think we'e supposed to be more." or something like that. Hope I helped!!

When you dump someone don't lie to them that just hurts them worse if the find out. Just tell him you don't think your ready for a commitment and that things would be better as friends becuase you think you need to be single for awhile.
