I really don’t like my boyfriend that much except as a friend.

I don’t mean to sound like a snotty person, but he tries to be more than he is and ends up embarrassing himself and me. The biggest problem is that we only just started dating. I dont want to seem like a person who goes out with a person then dumps them soon afterward. He just isn’t the right person for me. I really liked him at first and we moved into a relationship really fast and now I regret it. I have considered waiting a few weeks or months before dumping him so I am not thought of poorly. Then I realize I shouldn’t have to suffer through my relationship. Each day is getting harder to pretend that I still like him alot. I also don’t want to hurt him and seem like a quick relationship kind of person. Please help I have no expierence in this stuff and don’t like a bad start.Please people take this seriously. I am. Please no stupid replies. Thanks.

maybe you could tell him that you think that yall moved to fast and now you want to take it back to just dating. then you have no real commitment to him and you can break it off from there. It isn’t your fault you don’t like him, you can’t make yourself like someone. It would be okay to just dumb him, but it is admirable that you feel like you can’t. It’s mature.

Well, nothing to do but break it off with him. Apologize and wait quite a while until your next relationship.

The best think to do is be honest with him right away, the longer you wait, the more it will hurt him in the end. There’s nothing wrong with dating someone for a short period of time. If you thought you liked him at first, and as you got to know him realised you were not right for each other there is no shame in that. Be honest with him and break things off, its the best thing you can do for him and for yourself.
