Question Posted Wednesday December 7 2005, 8:05 pm
What are some good ways to let me boyfriend down gently? I'm not into him as much as I used to be and we're just not working out. He never calls me and he never really talks to me. We've been one of those couples that looks so cute from the outside but there's nothing on the inside. I just need a way to break up with him without the old "we're better off as friends" excuse or something cheesy like that. He's a nice guy and he's really cool but he's not the dude for me. Thanks :)

If he's a nice guy as you say then he'll want the truth about the whole situation. If just saying I think we're better as friends might make him think you have another guy or something else is going on. Well hope I helped SEE YA! *kookiemonster96* [ KookieMonster96's advice column | Ask KookieMonster96 A Question ]

You cant really blame a person for falling out of love, it just happens. Hes apparently not the one for you if you dont like him anymore, and he wouldnt want you to lead him on would he? If he still likes you theres really no way that you can put him down gently. Hes gonna take it hard as anybody would, but he WILL get over it so try not to feel too bad

yes, this is pretty cheesy.
but just tell him that things arent going very well, and you think that if you just stayed friends it would be much better for the both of you. because if you're not happy on the inside, its not good for either of you. its just bringing you down. i just suggest you tell him that and see how it goes. if he really likes you enough to date you, he will surely understand if u just want to be friends. i hope this helps!
