I have to break up with him. HOW!?

*I always have to post my questions twice, cause no one ever seems to want to answer them %26gt;.%26lt;


UGH!





My best friend has liked me for FOREVER, and treats me like a queen!!!


So he gets a girlfriend, and I start to like him ( couldn't figure out why ) So, I told him about a month ago.


His girlfriend broke up with him Sunday, and he asked me out Sunday night.


I said yes, and ever since then, I feel awkward, I just realize, I don't like him like that.


I made a big mistake, and now I have to break up with him.


And I don't know how,


I just don't feel for him like that.


I don't know what my deal is, but I just liked us as friends.


How do I handle this!!!


He should be calling in an hour):


And I don't know what to say.I have to break up with him. HOW!?
O my goodness, this is tough. If you really don't like him then yes you are right for breaking up with him, cause it isn't fair to him or you to continue the relationship. To break up with him, you should just be honest with him and tell him everything that you posted on here. Tell him that for some reason you would prefer a friendship not a relationship. But then after that you both need to give each other some space cause I am sorry to be the one to tell you this but a friendship can't just be perfectly resolved after a break up. Give each other some space and hope that in the future a friendship can formI have to break up with him. HOW!?
The reason you started to like him was because he didn't like you in that way and you wanted him to. Don't worry I did it too. All you have to do is say that you'd be more comfortable just being friends right now, and that you're sorry. That's pretty much it. He might take it hard, he might not but don't let yourself suffer because you're scared of hurting him.
Tell him your true feeling. You don't like him like that, or you don't feel ready. Tell him he's your best friend in the whole world, but you don't like him like that. Tell him you really want him as your friend, but not lover.
Uhmm... you shouldn't do it over phone cuz that's kinda mean. Just tell him that right now you just wanna be his friend. tell him you're sorry and that you still wanna be his friend
I'll be honest it sounds like you only wanted to be with him cause you couldn't have him. And now your scared. You are most likely going to crush the boy so just be honest.
(by the way, never break up with a person on the phone or internet) tell him in person. if hes a true friend he'll understand.
When you see him, say:


Listen i was thinking about us a lot and i have realized that we're better off as friends...


Or


After thinking this through i realized that i dont feel the same way about you, as you are about me (harsh but honest)


Just let him down gently, he should understand, oh oh and say at the end 'im sorry'


(:





BTW when he calls you, tell him, 'when we meet up i'll need talk to you about something important' but dont say what, maybe if he'll be asking again and again, say 'it's about us', thats it.


In a way he's going to be prepared for the convo
