okay soo i am going out with this guy named casey and we really like eachother but i mean it is going really slow, we have been together all summer. only kissed once, not madeout. and I had to kiss him (im a girl by the way =P). and this guy named tyler that i liked pretty much the whole 2nd semester last year told me has liked me for like 5 months. i don't really get to see him much since its the summer, but when school starts..ill want him SO BAD. we had a great connection, and we can talk about anything and be ourselves and he is soo cute and sweet. the guy im going out with now..i mean he is my best friend and has been for a year but he isn't that experienced in relationships. so i don't know. i just recently hurt him by making out with another guy but we weren't going out then, we were just friends with benefits. but that was a total mistake and that's history, we are over it now. but i'm just scared ill want tyler and i might hurt him. he is a sensitive guy..i'm scared to break up with him. like he has already cried over me a few times from what i did last time. i don't want to be known for hurting him but i KNOW i will want to go out with tyler when school starts.
what do i do?!
thanks in advance!

The best thing to do is do what is best for yourself. You can't stay in a relationship just so you won't hurt the person. The both of you deserve better than that. You need to set some boundaries so that you are not crossing the line with your friend and I am just assuming the two of you will remain friends if you decided to break it off with him. Ask yourself this...was it better when the two of you were friends or now? It doesn't sound like the boyfriend/girlfriend thing is working out for the two of you.

It will be a lot easier to hurt him now than to hurt him later when he he's more comfortable.
I'm sorry but you can't always get away with not hurting someone. Someone has to get hurt.
