I really want to quit my job, and have resumes into other places for jobs, but I'm really scared about talking to my current boss.

The best way is face-to-face even if you say something simple like "I really like working here but I think I have have found another job that fits me a little better. I've explained it all in my notice." Then hand him/her a typed statement of your gratitude and your wishes.
Always remember that business is business. If your company had to let you go, do you think your boss would hesistate in letting you know? No matter how friendly or unfriendly your relationship is with your supervisor, you should be up front and let them know you are looking for other employment. If you are just looking to move on, then so be it. But if you are having an issue with management, policy, department, these may be things that can be worked out and allow you to continue within that company if you so desire.

you are not required to tell your boss that you are looking for another job. When you find one then you simply turn in your two weeks notice. When a possible new employer asks if they can contact your current boss, it is ok to say no. This is common practice in business. Heck I get online and search for a new job 2 or 3 times a day when I get hacked off. If I ever find anything better, I'll be outta here! So don't sweat it! Merry Christmas!!

If you have already accepted an offer of employment elsewhere, you should tell your current boss and give him/her notice on when your last day is (generally two weeks notice is considered fair). If you are just in the job search/interview phase and have not accepted/received an offer yet, then it really is none of his/her business and you don't need to tell him/her anything. If your boss hears on the grapevine that you are looking and asks you whether you are looking at leaving, then you should be honest.

i rather can't say in case you may tell or no longer. all of it comes right down to how your boss is. If he's a properly meditated individual, and also you get alongside fantastic, then he may rejoice with you being open about searching for yet another activity. it may pay off, because then you actually may get your promoting. besides, that is necessary to do a large activity, because you nevertheless have a activity, because then that would't be an excuse to hearth you. i wager, as long as you do your activity, you'd be fantastic. My English isn't the very perfect, yet with somewhat of success you'll be able to make some experience out of it...

What is your relationship now. Friendly, so-so, or bad? If you have a good/friendly relationship and like your job, tell him you're looking. If he admires your work, he may try to get you a raise.
If it's a so-so relationship, or you don't like your job or boss, keep quiet until you find another, it'll only make things worse.

When you are ready, sit down with him/her. Say that you have been grateful for the opportunities afforded you at X company yet you are ready for new professional challenges. If you have not at that point found a new position, assure him/her that s/he can count on you to be meeting the demands of your current job while your search continues. Good luck!

If your boss has been good, repay him in kind. Kindness in the quitting arena involves giving him time to find you a replacement, training the replacement and keeping the complaints about the awful workplace to a minimum.
All he needs is time.
