Breaking up w/ BF


Question Posted Wednesday May 16 2007, 5:58 pm

So I have almost been going out with my boyfriend for one month and he seriously cares about me but in person he hugs me but it doesnt mean anything like its a friend hug.. and this other guy likes me and he is really sweet and i've heard he is a really good boyfriend.. i dont think i like my boyfriend anymore which is bad.. and my best friends are going out with his best friends so i will basically get torn out of the group and i still want to be his friend.. what should i do?!?

tell him the truth, that you only see him as a friend. its gonna hurt him if he really does like you but maybe hes getting a friend vibe too. my best friend and i were gonng go out because well we are so close and everyone thinks we should but just when he was about to ask me out he said it was weird because he kinda didnt see me that way. at first it hurt me but then i realized that he was right, why should anyone have to date someone they dont like? tell him how u feel and you will both be glad that the truth was told. and plus if you like another guy then dating your "friend" isnt gonna help things. let him down easy but make it clear what you want. hope it goes well.

Your best-friends will almost always include you in what they are doing or their group no matter who you are or are not dating. There's no reason at all to stay with someone in a relationship you feel is no longer going in the right direction.

You need to be honest with him and yourself and tell him that you feel as though you would be better friends to eachother than lovers and tell him why.

He may be upset at first but he should understand and start to see for himself that what you have is more of a close friendship than romantic sparks.

After that give it about a week and talk to the other boy you like about trying hanging out more, a few group dates and see what happens from there.

Don't be quick to jump right into a new relationship the minute you break up with the other guy. It will make you look bad and this other guy doesn't want to be viewed as your rebound person.

Ask this person to go on group dates, hang out more etc. and build your friendship and maybe just maybe become more. That's your best bet by taking this slow and stady to make sure he's right for you. It's evident the other person you are with currently isn't your right romantic match.
