Breaking up: I want to take him out as a treat to make up for dumping him... but what happens after?
Question Posted Thursday February 14 2013, 12:28 am
I'm planning to break up with my boyfriend and I'm really nervous, in fact, sick to my stomach about it. We've been dating for almost two years and we're getting nowhere in this relationship.
I'm not sure what to do, though. I've gone through so many scenerios in my head. But I get stuck right up to the part of... what do we do afterwards? I invited him out so that way I can treat him to at least make up for breaking up for him, and hoping we can still be friends, but do I just take him home afterwards? What if he insists on coming over instead? What do we do after I do?
And does anyone have any tips on how to break up with someone? I've never broken up with someone before and I know it's going to hurt him no matter what I do, but is there an easier way to let him down gently?

Do it face to face. I would not auggest having him over after because it would just be awkward between you too. You need to just sit down and tell him at school or something that you think your relationship isnt gling anywhere and u think that the two of you should just be friends. He will be a bit crushed afterwards but he will get over it. If he agrees to be friends then thats good but i still wouldnt reccommend having him over after. Good luck and i know that sick feeling your having . You might feel that way afterwards for a few days as well but i hope this helps [ flexi01's advice column | Ask flexi01 A Question ]
