I need to tell a guy I've been dating that I'm pregnant how should I go about telling him?

Answer 1

show him the test stick

Answer 2

Well it depends on how you think he will react:

1) If you think he will accept this and do what is right to at least take responsibility and help you through this, then just sit down and tell him.

2) If you think he will react violently or do alot of yelling and screaming, have a back-up plan to protect yourself. Either tell him in a relatively public place, or have a friend or family nearby for back-up in case you need someone on your side quickly.

3) If you think he will deny everything, then just tell him and see how it goes. If he denies everything, then your better off without him around. If you need his support (financially), then you can try and get a paternity test done.

At any rate, there really isn't any good way to break the news. No matter which situation above, find a time that is right. The right time is a time when he is relatively calm and not tense with other worries of life. Tell him after a meal when he is full and has had time to let the worries of the day go. Don't tell him right before work or some other time when he's got alot of other things on his mind. Be straight with him and let him know its a serious discussion. Try not to just blurt out that your pregnant. Tell him you need to talk and that its about something very serious. He may get angry or say things that aren't true or appropriate at the time, but he will appreciate the fact that you were straight with him and that you didn't just unload it without letting him prepare for it.

I hope this helps. IM or message if you wanna talk about it further!! Good luck!! You can do this!

Answer 3

well that depends on alot of things is he the father? are you sure he is? do you want it? and how old are both of you?
well you're gonna have to tell everybody eventually. might as well tell the father first.
my answers the the questions
even if he isn't the father are you willing to risk him not trusting you and ending it. if he ends it because you are pregnant than he doesn't deserve you or the child. and it wasn't meant to be. i know pleanty of people who date single parents. and i know some guys that have stayed with a pregnant girl even though it wasn't his child. if they like you they will stay and if they don't like you you don't want them around. not only will they hurt you but it will affect you're child in a negative way and that is not something you as a parents want for your child.
make sure he is the father. every man's first thought when he is told his wife or girlfriend is pregnant is "Is it really mine. could it be someone elses." they panic. that's all. he will freak or be happy sometimes. if your're lucky and he loves you.
if you don't want the baby. that's a very sad thing. but you're decision alone to make. cause you are the one that has to live with it. if he is the father you should tell him if he loves you he will respect your decision. if he isn't the father it is not his business. if you are not going to keep the baby and your boyfriend isn't the father than don't tell him. if you are going to keep it then tell every one let the chaos die down while you aren't that far along. then you can get excited before you get to tired and pregnant to enjoy it.

Answer 4

Don't do it over the phone, with a text, on Facebook or Myspace. A one-on-one approach is always best no matter how nervous you may be. Maybe over dinner, or invite him over and tell him. You should first ask him how he would feel if you were pregnant, he should get the hint. Don't just blurt out "I'm pregnant." Ask, "If I were to get pregnant, what would you do? Would you want to keep it?"
Be gentle, but dont shut up, stay open and expressive.

Good luck. I hope all goes well and you two can come to a happy medium about what to do about your situation.

Answer 5

His reaction depends on how long youve been dating, but either way you have to tell him so the easiest way would be to ask him how he feels about kids, then once he answers, and then asks why you asked him that say well because I think I might be pregnant, and see how he reacts.. ease him into it. If you feel like it you can tell him you took a test, and it came out positive then just tell him at that point, but you can also just get a test, and take it in front of him so he sees the results for hisself. Hope things work out..

Answer 6

well first off make sure you really are pregnant this could be very bad if you come to find out your not....second are you sure its his...Just asking cause you know he may come up this question too....I hope you are both old enough o care for a child if not let me know I will adopt it....just letting you know that...you have options out there.....if you want the baby I wish you all the joy in the world and have some things here that I,am not using that are brand new for babies...bought fro my granddaughter and then they moved so just so you know I have some things....Good luck and God Bless you and the baby...let me know how it goes fr you Hun....ttyl

Answer 7

Tell him soon. Be honest and let him know what you want to do and what you want him to do. Then give him time to absorb the enormity of the whole situation before expecting him to respond. And keep in mind that although you two may not see eye to eye, this is a joint venture.

Take care...

Answer 8

First of all indianrulz is a complete idiot I am sure he is married to a whore and that is why hes mad. Anyways, that aside lol, just give him the stick in an envelope. Then have a serious talk with him to see what you two will do from here on. Good luck and congratulations!

Answer 9

No matter how you tell him, your still pregnant and it's still going to affect him.

Try sitting him down and telling him.

Don't go crazy and end up fighting over it.

Good Luck! and Congratulations!

Answer 10

well it depends on how long you've been dating, and if you think the two of you are fit to raise a child together. either way your gonna have to do it alone or together. he should be happy, but you should sit him down and straight up tell him. if his reaction is negative, you shouldn't be with him and he's obviously not ready to raise a kid.

Answer 11

one. Take a deep breath and tell him straight up. im pregnant. then tell him ive been dateing other people.
