okay so theres this guy [ my boyfriend ]
and we've been going out for about 2 months and i dont really like him anymore. we never hang out that much so its kinda pointless to go out anymore and schools starting again and i wanna keep my options open.we've gone out before and i broke up with him that time and he was really sad. i dont know how to break up with him again. help?

Just be gentle, and not too harsh. you can say it straight to his face, email him and tell him, or call him. Yes, he may be upset for a while, just continue to be there for him even thoguh you aren't going out anymore. Just because this is the second time you broke up doesn't mean you can be friends
I wish you only the best!!!

try not to hurt him. and that if he needs some space or somthing you understand but you still want to be mates and value his friendship.
n if you dont then.. just say it how it is. no point in making excuses. if he cant take it.. truth is he needs to learn.. n if you dont liek him that way.. and want your options open.. its not your problem that he hurts.. btu prevent it at most costs.
