I am going through a rough time emotionally, and I need some time alone and to understand and find myself. I have been dating him for about a week, but have known him for over 4 months and had been very close with him during that time too. I don't know how to come out of the blue and tell him it's over without hurting his feelings. Someone please help me. He has no idea that anything is wrong with me...

You have to be outright when it comes to something like this; there is no point in being miserable. You should explain to him that all you really want is some time to be with yourself and learn who you really are, and where you want to go. Tell him that you really are sorry that it has to affect him, but that he should understand and respect that you aren't feeling your best.
He will almost definitely understand and respect you for your decision if he really does like you; perhaps this isn't how all women tackle the situation, but I know from experience that it worked when my ex-girlfriend explained it as such to me... and we remain great friends, now, two years later.
I wish you all the best.

If the two of you were friends before you started to date you should be able to explain how you feel. Just talk to him and tell him you need time to figure out who you are and what you want. That you still want him to be your friend because you enjoy his friendship. Who knows it could make your friendship stronger.

do only it. I only broke up w mine very last evening. I knew it changed into the perfect aspect to do, he wasnt attempting anymore and that i stood up and had to do it. It wasnt easy in any respect, i changed into breakin interior, yet after I did I felt sturdy and that i dont be apologetic about it. only earlier doin it, fairly imagine if its what u want, why u wanna split or u wanna keep attempting? If u discover u are unhappy and there are more effective the reason why u shouldnt be jointly then damage it up. it might want to harm, however it is going to keep u a lot more effective harm interior the destiny

You can't break up with him without hurting his feelings. The sooner the better, though, because the longer you keep it going the deeper it will get. Just be honest with him.

Honey you did fine telling us. Use those same words on your BF. If he has any respect or love for you at all he will understand and give you the space you need and want.

Just tell him what you just typed here in Yahoo. I think that will actually help him accept the breakup, because he will know it's not really about him, it's about you and what you need right now.
