i have this boyfriend, and he's my first, but sometimes it feels like i see him as just a friend. i like him but i dont think i like him enough to be in a committed relationship with him. i really dont know what to do because i'm not happy about this but i also dont want to hurt his feelings

I know you feel terrible even thinking about breaking up with him but the reality of it is that everyone needs someone who is really CRAZY about them. Obviously, you are not that someone for this guy. I think you should let him go so he can find who that someone is. He may be hurt at first, but it'll be worth it in the end. Besides, you don't want to be tied down to someone you only love as a friend do you? Hehe. ;-)

Life is too short and you don't want to waste time with someone who you aren't all that in to. He could feel the same way? You wont know until you say something about it.

But also make sure that if you do break up with him you do it nicely and let him know that you still want to be friends [ babiburt29's advice column | Ask babiburt29 A Question ]

The hard part is if you're great friends with the guy, you don't want to lose him in your life. I suggest thinking about this a little before acting on it. Try to decide how hard he'll take it. If it's still possible to have a friendship after breaking up and he won't be too devastated, go for it and break it off. If you think he might take it a little hard though, try to stick it out a little bit and let him down as lightly as you can, reassuring him of the friendship you want to still have with him.
If you think that someday in the future your friendship with him might blossom into more, just tell him you need some time before commiting yourself to someone (kind of giving him some light at the end on the tunnel).

daisy79 answered Tuesday January 3 2006, 8:31 pm: You need to decide if you are in the relationship because it's with him, or if you just want to be in a relationship. If you're not happy, it's a pretty good indication that this isn't right for you.If you treat him with respect, then he should in turn respect you for your decisions!
