Do not tell him it was a dare. That will make him feel incredibly worse when you finally get the courage to break up with him.
You accepted the foolish dare and went out with him, so you need to be mature about it and end it now before he seriously gets hurt.
If you "hate" him, don't stick it out - just say you're sorry but you don't feel you can go on with the relationship any more. Lie and say you don't want to be in one. (not that I condone lying in any way, but in this situation, it's best to let him down gently seeing as you've already got his hopes up).
How you do it? Well, that's entirely up to you. He will respect you more if you do it face to face, though.
Good luck...

No, you shouldn't tell him it was a dare... that would really hurt his feelings. Just tell him that you've realized that you don't have the same feelings for him that he has for you, and that you think it'd be better if you were just friends. I know you hate to hurt him, but it's better to do it now instead of waiting. The longer you drag it out, the more attached he might become... and then it will hurt him even more. So do him a favor... break up with him now, and let him start getting over you so he can move on.

No you shouldn't tell him it was a dare that would be mean. You shouldn't stay with him till
May 20th either. Just tell him you really don't feel a connection with him and it's not working out for you. If you want you can tell him you hope that you can still be friends but if he doesn't want that then your sorry. Sometimes the best way to do something difficult is just to do it. Take Care and Good Luck

Well you should try to be nice about it, but you still need to be to the point so he doesn't get any wrong ideas. Don't tell him it was a dare because that would probably really hurt his feelings, just let him know that you don't really have those types of feelings for him and you would much rather just be friends. Let him down easy, but let yourself go. I don't think you should wait until the 20th thats just longer that you would sorta be 'leading him on,' persay.

Hope I Helped.

hmm, well if you don't want to hurt him then deffoh don't tell him it was a dare that would kill him, or anyone just talk to him tell him you would rather be friend's don't GIVE him a reason just say you don't want a boyfriend right now and your leaveing anyway so it will work out, break it down to him nice in person would be good but if you HAVE to over the phone would work aswell, other the net or thru a text LAME; and could turn in to him thinking your joke pick a phone or in person, i hope everything works out for the best.

-hope i helped. -xoxo!

just tell him you don't want a boyfriend right now. he might be hurt but i mean it's meaner to stay with him as a joke. however, don't let him know it was a dare. that would be very mean.
