well my boyfriend and i have been going out for 7 months, almost 8 and the relationship has been going fine. . .
i wanted to break up with him before the summer because i usually meet new people. i have this feeling that the longer we stay together, the harder its going to be to break up. i want to do it during school but idk when and how. like, what should i say without making it hurt? i'd perfer to talk to him personally but will he feel better if a friend tells him? and when is a good time to do it?

herbivore answered Sunday May 21 2006, 8:15 pm: hey. why would you break up with him? if your relationship is going fine then i would continue going out with him. but if you do want to break up with him, here are some tips:
- talk to HIM alone, dont do it in front of a crowd.
- say that you want to continue being friends with him
- i would do it after graduation/dance? so then he wont be mad at you or depressed.
- i would do it durring the summer (personally) because then you dont have to deal with so much drama from other people finding out. good luck! hope this helps!! :) ♥ ♥ ♥ [ herbivore's advice column | Ask herbivore A Question ]

You want to break up with him simply because you think your going to meet more guys this summer? Shame, aparently your relationship isn't that deep or commited.
Do it as soon as you can if your seriously wanting to go through with it. Do it yourself and do NOT have a friend tell him.
And then if you do break up with him, do not get another boyfriend, because chances are if you broke up with him because you meet "new people" then you're probably going to do it again. Your just going to end up hurting another guy. And if you ultimately decid to stay with him now, seriously reconsider your relationship.
I'm being honest. A relationship isn't anything if your willing to drop it all for "new people" you MIGHT meet.
