Well he asked me out and I said yes, but when I really thought about it, I don't like him enough to date him. He is really sweet, but I think we should just be friends. I think I'm going to break up with him. If I do I will do it on Tuesday or later because what kind of person would I be if i broke up with him on Christmas? Do you think he will be angry or hurt if I explain why? Please help. ♥ Amber ♥

And he said he got me a Christmas gift, and I'm trying to break up with him before he gives it to me so I don't have to feel really bad.

And he REALLY thinks we're an item.

He may be angry, yeah. But that shouldn't stop you from being real about your feelings. The sooner you end it, the better. The longer you wait, the more likely he is to get attached, and the worse it will hurt.
I think most guys appreciate honesty, even if it's uncomfortable for them.
Here's a thought--is it possible that you're just gun-shy? Could you possibly just need to give it a little more time or take things more slowly? Maybe he'll grow on you. I just say that because, I mean, you said yes initially for a reason.

Well if you just started dating friday I would not think there is a big connection there.Dating and going together for a long time are 2 different things if you ask me.Just tell him when you are good and ready you are not interested.But don't drag it out to long before you break the news.Good Luck

Tell him you're EXTREMELY sorry for being impulsive in saying yes, but that you've given this a lot of thought and that you jumped the gun.
Don't give him the "I don't like you enough to date you" explanation. It's implied in the "I've given this a lot of thought and..."
Don't do the "I want to just be friends" thing. He's going to be hurt. If he asks and you TRULY want to be friends, bonus. If you're just saying it to offset guilt, don't say it.
Sure, dump him Tuesday morning just before the after Christmas sales. No reason to hose up his Christmas over this.

Started dating on friday? Just cuz he asked you out doesn't mean you're an item yet. Go out with him once maybe (or if you have just skip to the next step) and then just tell him that it wasn't meant to be. It'll be an akward conversation any way you slice it but it's easier than leading him on.

I don't know if it was like you all going together, with it just being so soon. He may just think of it as he ask you out for a date...I would not try to make too much out of it...If he asks you out again tell him your feelings.......
