Question Posted Saturday November 18 2006, 3:15 am
Hello I am 13 years old and is going out with this really, really sweet guy. But now hes getting too attached and between us is getting a bit awkward now. I want to be just friends with him because whenever I hang around him we talk to each others like we were just mates. I mean now I love him but only in a friend way. And I tried breaking up with him and asked if we could just be friends but he didn't want it that way because he loves me a lot (which makes me feel HEAPS guilty). Besides I'm in love with this other guy. I don't want to break his heart but I just want to be friends. But he doesn't want to be friends. What should I do?
x0xcheer13 answered Sunday November 19 2006, 8:06 pm: Hey. First off, you unfortunatly should break up with him. Trust me from my own experiences, it's better to have him feeling upset for a while than leading him on then having him hate you forever. I know it will make you feel bad since hes so sweet, but it's the best thing for you. If you decide you don't want to break up with him, then you should tell him that all this closeness makes you feel uncomfortable and If he really loves you, which it sounds liek he does, then he will understand and lay off. I hope I helped!! ♥ Kathleen [ x0xcheer13's advice column | Ask x0xcheer13 A Question ]
bijougirl4 answered Saturday November 18 2006, 10:02 pm: well, Tell him that you think he loves you in a sister-type-way and that you like him but not all that much ( don't say that- say it nicer) but that you can talk as much and hang out with you as muh as when you were bf-gf and also, dont mention the other guy unless he gets over his crush or something [ bijougirl4's advice column | Ask bijougirl4 A Question ]

Say "I would rather be bestfriens than be girlfriend and boyfriend,"

I agree that you shouldnt do it over anything but person. make sure he understands exactly the way you feel and that you really want to be friends, but when you do break up dont automatically jump over to the other guy, give it some time so that he knows that you are going through the same pain that he is going through. Then he will realize what you did was for the best and he will sooner or later be happy about it because hw will realize taht youa re happy too! hope i have helped! ♥KaThErInE♥ [ ebkatie's advice column | Ask ebkatie A Question ]
happychicka answered Saturday November 18 2006, 10:41 am: Tell your boyfriend that you really just want to be friends. Because you obviously aren't that happy in that relationship if you are falling in love with this other guy. Since your boyfriend really cares about you if you do break up with him it will hurt him, that is kinda just a fact, im sorry, but if you really just want to be friends and you are not happy then you need to end the relationship. The same thing happend to me when i was in the 7th grade. I was dating my best friends but after like 3 months i saw it going no where so i broke up with him because all i could see him as was another one of my freinds. Sure he was upset after a while and you will be kinda upset to after because you know that you would have hurt him but it will all be ok. After my ex-bf and me weren't upset anymore we became great friends again. it will all work out, I really hope i helped =) [ happychicka's advice column | Ask happychicka A Question ]

Corielistens answered Saturday November 18 2006, 9:26 am: Hey don't panace but what ever you do don't break up with him on the phone or anything. That type of talk should be inperson. talk to him tell him what's bothering you but if he's acting like thatthen he is way over his age. Tell him how you feel andifhe doen't understand then he was neverthe right guy. [ Corielistens's advice column | Ask Corielistens A Question ]
