How do you break up with a boyfriend when he really really likes you?

Answer 1

same way you break up with any other boy. you don't say mean or hurtful things, you don't make him feel like he's undesireable or a bad person, you just tell him he's be better off with someone else, and he will. letting him go is actually doing him a favor by leaving him free to find a girl that really really likes him too.

Answer 2

This is just my opinion, because there is no definite answer when it comes to love... but I disagree with the previous answer - it seems selfish to me.

tell him you aren't looking for anything serious, but you'd like to be cool and still hang out (unless he totally freaks you out). Offer to hang out with some friends, so he doesn't feel abandoned and you don't have feel uncomfortable being alone with him. Eventually things will cool off. If you think he might go crazy, ask your friends to stick around and don't meet up with him again alone.

You can't avoid disappointing him. But you can make it less painful and with time, you'll feel good for doing the right thing.

Answer 3

Ask him if he truly values your sense of Trust and your sense of People and ask him if he respects that about you too.

If he does, then ask yourself if he values Honesty, Trust, Respect, Caring, Sharing, Appreciation, A sense of Humor, and unconditional love too.

Anyone who doesn't value these important things that mean the world to you shouldn't be allowed to have you in their life either.

Convey that to him as a reason you want to break up with him. He will have no choice but to listen and when he understands, then he will finally get the message.

Answer 4

You explain it all to him nicely.

You can't stay with him just because he likes you. You'd be miserable if your heart's not in it; and so would he when he figured that out. (And believe me, he would.)

It's best practice to always be honest and upfront with people. You stave off any miscommunication and he will appreciate that you respected him enough not to lie to him or carry on the facade that you were happy when you really weren't.

Best case scenario: You'll stay friends.

Answer 5

Tell him the truth, be honest. I have gone through with this before. Just let him know how you really feel and if you want to, ask him if he would like to remain friends. I wish you the best of luck!

Answer 6

You just do it. You are not responsible for his feelings. You can only be responsible for your feelings.

Just nicely tell him that you aren't feeling like you need to feel to be in a relationship and you need to end the relationship.

Don't worry about his reaction. He will get over it. Just be kind and genuine.

Do it soon so you don't have to worry so much about this

Answer 7

all you have to do is this "baby i know we've been together for a while now and i've loved every minute of it but now i think it's time we've moved onto different ppl ya kno...it's like i really like you but i rather us just be friends for the time being" (( put that n your own words))
