(16 female) The problem is I have this boyfriend, whom I care about a lot but I dont really love him like he loves me. He thinks everything in our relationship is perfect but its not. We really have problems. Well, its more of i have problems with our relationship that i really need to work through. Recently, I realized that i don't want be with him any longer, but i don't know how to break up with him. I don't want to hurt him or break his heart but either way i do it i will. I just need someone to tell me a way to break up with him without me breaking his heart too badly and him never speaking to me again. And if there is a way to do this, please give me the courage to go through with it. I am soooo scared it makes no sense. I am terrified of hurting him. Pleeeeseee Heeeeelp

Theres no easy way to tell a person that really likes you that you dont feel the same. But it has to be done, because you cant just drag him around with you pretended to like him when you really dont. Talk with him in person face to face alone. And tell him that you know he how much he likes you and that you just dont feel the same. Theres no way to sugar coat the fact that you just dont like him that way, its okay dont feel guilty, it happens everyday. People have to learn to accept heartbreak, he might not like you anymore , or want to speak to you afterwards, but one day he will get over it and realize that there was something else waiting for him. Dont be scared sometimes theres no other way to do things without hurting peoples feelings. [ jcpennypanties's advice column | Ask jcpennypanties A Question ]

No doubt his feelings will be hurt he will get over it.Don't wait until the end of a date or anything to do it either.That makes it seem REALLY over if you know what I mean.Tell him early on and then try to have some fun after so he feels you really mean it about being friends.

crazzyin4 answered Wednesday March 9 2005, 6:06 pm: Just say to him, i think we should just be friends,(or good friends). Please don't hate me for breaking up with you,but i think it is time...and say you are sorry.
Then once you guys broke up keep talking to him, dont ingoure him, or when you see him run away.
