Another thing you can do if you don't like that you can also tell him " I think that once in a while we should take some time away from one another and spend some time with our friends." I hope that I helped but if not you can visit me at my column. [ rosebud_01's advice column | Ask rosebud_01 A Question ]
TattooedXRoses answered Thursday September 22 2005, 9:46 pm: Well, you just answered you're own question. Your reason for breaking up with him is because you don't seem to be on the same page in the relationship. He has more feeling than you do, you simply don't feel the same.

EvilCheshire answered Thursday September 22 2005, 11:31 am: You really don't need an explanation for how you feel. Sometimes these things just naturally happen.
You need to be forward with him, but try sparing his feelings a little. You need to put your foot down and be the one in charge here. Giving his feelings for you I don't think whatever you say is probably really going to upset him anyway.
Just tell him that your feelings have changed, you still care about him as a person but not really a lover or a boyfriend. Really, tell him you don't think it's fair to you that you don't get to see your friends, and that you don't want to be that serious at your age. You never know what's going to come at you in life.

Dakmor answered Thursday September 22 2005, 6:27 am: *gasp* I THINK I HAS THE SOLUTION!!! I never thought I'd say this to anyone, considering how I'm against it, but I think that you were both infatuated, and now he's just infatuated for a bit longer... infatuation can be extremely strong. Try telling him exactly what you told us? And put in the words "but I hope maybe we can still stay friends" eh? Hope I helped, good luck, no nukes can save the whales!

sillyrob answered Thursday September 22 2005, 5:43 am: Well, I have to give you kudos for realizing that a relationship between a 15 and 16 year old wont last forever. However, I have to say you're pitiful for thinking about his feelings. Forget about his feelings, if you guys break up it'll just be him hanging out with you in hopes you get back together. First it'll start with small comments. Then it will turn into constant phone calls and instant messages. Finally he'll end up outside your window at 4 AM naked and singing love songs to you. My advice, dump him and have him "taken care of". [ sillyrob's advice column | Ask sillyrob A Question ]

karenR answered Thursday September 22 2005, 1:15 am: 15 is pretty young to be tied down that long in a relationship. Especially if you don't want to be in it anymore. I have found a website I think would be more helpful to you than anything I could come up with. Hope it helps.
Hope you are bouncing back ok after hurricane. Good luck to you and your family. :)
SoInToYoUx0x answered Thursday September 22 2005, 1:09 am: one way or another he is still going to get hurt. no matter what you do. just tell him the truth me be like me feelings for you have changed and i dont feel as strongly about as i used. STOP leading him on. i know YOU wouldnt want him to lead you on like that. tell him you want to carry on a friendship realtionship with him.. dont try to carry on this realitonship if you dont feel like the same way. the longer you wait the worse it will get the harder it will be to do and the more it will hurt him. hope i helped. if you need anything else drop it in my inbox.
