I'm 23 and my first relationship was when I was 17 and it lasted about 3 years. I've been with my current boyfriend for just over 3 years. There was a couple months break between the 2 serious ones. I've never really dated and I would like to experience it. Do you tell your partner that or is that too harsh for someone to hear. I'm not talking about sex, just meeting new people and if I want to see a guy a few times, then cool. I basiclly want to be single and keep my options open.
Just to make myself clear to you guys, I want to break up with my bf. I wouldn't meet other guys while I'm still with him.

You have to tell him just what you told us.... you really never dated and want to experience it. Tell him that as wonderful as he is, you know that if he is Mr. Right, he will let you go on some dates (tell him not sleeping with) and if it is meant to be, he has nothing to worry about.
Honesty really is best and saying it this way shouldn't hurt if he cares that you are sure.

Okay I’m a bit confused here. “You said just to make myself clear to you guys, I want to break up with my boyfriend” you want to go out with other guys… just to date. But then you say you won't need other guys while you're still with him (your boyfriend). Do you tell your partner you want to date or is that too harsh……
I don't know that I think when you tell them you want to break up that's probably to be the harshest. They might wanna tell him you want to see other men (as you put it not for sex)…. and that might speed up your breakup.
I mean it seems like you I keep your boyfriend around for safe sex but start checking out other guys. Maybe… but then you said….
You know I was never good with algebra and school…. and I think this is an algebra question. Because neither the formula or the math make any sense to me.
Forgetting who you tell what or when or how…. it's completely understandable that after being with only two guys in five years and not dating anyone else you want to stay unattached and meet men for dating. Keep your options open play the field.

Be honest and tell this guy. He might not understand but that is partof life. Don't do something like marry him and keep having those feeling about dating someone else. You will do more harm the longer you wait. So just tell him and go from there. He may have the same feeling and just don't know how to tell you. You might be doing both of you a favor. Good luck.

If I was in a relationship and wanted to see other people for whatever reason I would make a clean break with the man I was with. He deserves to go on and find someone more suitiable than myself...But then where I am at in my life I wouldn't be in a relationship with a man. I like my freedom.

Just tell him how you feel. That basicaly you have never really got a chance to see what was out there. And you want a break from not exactly him but from all of the seriousness of relationships.

Yo u shall tell him that you have lost interest on him and the relatioship will not last and its better for both of you take your ways, but still remain as friends. I believe with this both of you wont be jealous among each other.

Speak the truth. Its better that way. You're young and you should be out there experiencing life especially if there is no future with your current bf.

There's no right way to tell him. Just remember that there is a lot of crap out there(don't be disappointed). Don't get upset when he won't take you back.
