How to break up with him?


Question Posted Friday March 28 2014, 10:22 am

We haven't been dating that long, but I just don't know if I want a relationship right now. He seems like a really sweet guy (but possibly clingy) but I just don't think I'm ready right now and I don't know if he'll understand that. He doesn't really understand a lot... If that makes any sense...

Anyways, my last relationship was about 2 months ago but I just don't know if I WANT a relationship right now because of everything going on. I don't know if I should tell him in person either because I don't think I can. Like honestly, I don't think I can. I tried once but I just couldn't do it. I have his number but I think it won't be good to tell him in a text. I know it's not right, but I think it's better than confrontation. I know that might sound weird and possibly wrong, but I just CAN'T tell him in person.

What should I do? I liked him in the beginning and then he found out and that's why he asked me out, but now that we're dating, I don't know if I'm really ready for a relationship and if I want one either. I think he really likes me (obviously if he asked me out), but I don't think he's a good guy for me.

Advice ASAP please, I kind of want to get this over with because I've just been really anxious about this for the past few days.

It is really hard to break up with someone in person, but unless you fear for your safety, it is the most respectful way to do it.

A break up is not a confrontation. It's just telling someone the truth of what is happening. Doing this in person is best way to help someone understand what you are saying, and to have mutual respect. Far more gets communicated and understood when we do things face-to-face.

If you really can't handle that, at least give him the courtesy of a phone call. Hearing your voice is likely to help him to understand what you mean, and that you are serious. A text is not okay. It's not respectful, and it'll probably get you into more trouble, because texts are so easy to misinterpret and misunderstand.

I know this is really hard, but it is something you have to learn how to do, and how you do it is important.
