I want to dump my boyfriend...and yes I have my reasons. He asked me if I would go to the movies with him this Friday. And I said I would, but since then I have decided I want to dump him. I don't know what to do now though. Because I went with him to the movies last week and he thought I got mad at him there. But I didn't. His friend told me that my boyfriend was shy last week and he wanted to give me a kiss and everything but he was to shy. And he was going to this Friday. I need advice on what to do, because there is another guy that I want to go out with, when me and my boyfriend break up. I'm not sure if I want to dump my boyfriend before or after the movies. What do you think?

icey0990 answered Wednesday March 30 2005, 9:00 am: aw..i would break up with him asap. Dont let the guy spend money on you and stay up at night thinking of how hes going to kiss you,when, all that planning. He would be so hurt if you did it after the movies..especially if you dump him and go for the other guy. [ icey0990's advice column | Ask icey0990 A Question ]

rainbowsend answered Wednesday March 30 2005, 1:18 am: Think about it this way... it's a date, right? And movie tickets cost, depending on the area, $5-10... so if you go to the movies with him, and let him pay for you, that's him wasting $ on a girl who's about to break his heart.
So yes, break up with him before the movies.
Also, you may want to consider his feelings before dating this other guy right away. I know you have your reasons for dumping him, but remember that he does have feelings too. So wait a little while between relationships. [ rainbowsend's advice column | Ask rainbowsend A Question ]

xOtWiXi answered Tuesday March 29 2005, 10:52 pm: I think maybe after, so you are definitely sure that you want to end your relationship with him. I'd maybe wait a week to go out with the other guy so he doesn't get his feelings hurt, but I guess thats life lol. Good luck! ♥ [ xOtWiXi's advice column | Ask xOtWiXi A Question ]
Miss_Lily answered Tuesday March 29 2005, 9:37 pm: You need to break up with your boyfriend before the movies. It is not fair to him for you to lead him on. You need to nip this in the bud, and do it now before his feelings are hurt to drastically. Explain to him exactly why you want to break up with him. Don't leave him the dark. Tell him that you would like to remain friends with him, but you don't see him as anything more then a friend right now. If your boyfriend is understanding and if he cares about you at all, then he will let you go without the drama. Since he is shy, try to talk to him privately, away from a crowd. That way, he won't be embarrassed in front of his friends for being dumped. [ Miss_Lily's advice column | Ask Miss_Lily A Question ]
dorinflower55 answered Tuesday March 29 2005, 9:28 pm: i think you might wanna dump him b4, so then you will not have to deal with going with him somewhere you don't wanna go. also if he does kiss you at the movies then it will be harder to break up with him. you don't wanna put his hopes up for nothing. you wanna get it over with as soon as possible or then you will hesitate and put it off for later. then you will have to deal with not being with the one you actually like.
-hope i helped a little!

GheadMak3myDay answered Tuesday March 29 2005, 9:18 pm: Before the movies. Don't be evil. If you want to move on, have the decency at least to be upfront about it. You will be saving grief both for you and him. Forget about hurting him. He's going to get hurt either way but it hurts more if you prolong it. It's like ripping off a band-aid. It hurts but not for long unlike taking off the band-aid a bit at a time. It hurts the WHOLE. TIME. THROUGH. Do it now and do it quick.

soljette answered Tuesday March 29 2005, 9:14 pm: if you already decided that you want to be with this other guy when you and your current bf breaks up, then, my opinion, i think that you should break up with him before you guys go to the movies. if you stay with him, you'll only be leading him on.

therocketsummer answered Tuesday March 29 2005, 9:10 pm: You shouldn't dump your boyfriend and then head right on to another boy, guys get just as offened as girls do. You might want to dump him before the movies because if you're going to act unattracted, and uninterested in him because you've already made up your mind about leaving him, he might leave you first. Just make sure you're making the right desion because if you leave your current boyfriend, you probably can't get him back. [ therocketsummer's advice column | Ask therocketsummer A Question ]
