I've been going out for this guy for what, 4 or 5 months now?? Well somewhere along the way I just stopped liking him. Maybe it's because he never holds my hand or talks to me or hangs out with me or tell me anything sweet or nice like a boyfriend should do. He can't even go on a date with me because his mom doesn't allow him to date yet. I don't know what to do. I mean we talk sometimes and its cool and all, but its nothing special. We talk to each other like we talk to our friends, and that's when I realized that friends is really basically all we are ... except we just say that were "going out" although we never do anything different from being friends. So, the thing is, I really just WANT us to be friends, JUST friends. Truthfully, I don't really think HE is really ready to be in a relationship. So what do I do? Everyone tells me he's crazy about me, but I just don't like him like that anymore. How do I let him know I just want to be friends without hurting him?? HELP!

He's your friend, talk to him. Life goes on a long time after teens.

Hi, indeed strange that I am in exactly the same situation as you. His mother doesn't even like me and all he does is listen to his mom.
I also understand what you feel that you are just friends.
Have a good talk with him and let him know that you need time to think through the relationsip. Tell him that you need to take some time off each other and if you miss him if you don't get to see him.. it shows that you care about him and the relationship will be strengthened. Ask him nicely and discuss this with him.
Hope that helps

be straight up with him i am sure he will get over it ....maybe he will be happy he will not be under pressure and hey maybe he really does not want to do the things you want him to do maybe he just wants to be just friends cause he may not even be ready like you said be honest with him set your self free ....i know you want the guy that walks arround holding your hand hugs and kisses in hall way at school dear he is not ready for that he is still a youngster and maybe he is shy..be stright with him

just tell him what you wrote, it seems to be what you want to do anyway, understand that you have to be happy, not do things you do not want to to make other people happy (unless you have a job)

Steve Martin said it best when he said to tell them... "I break with you, I break with you, I break with you." and then you throw dog poop on their shoes.
