So, I broke up with my boyfriend Friday morning. We only dated for a month or so but he really liked me, has for over two years. I just didn't feel it with him though. He's a real sweetheart and it hurts to break his heart. He's younger than me also. I feel horrible about breaking up with him and he wants to still be my friend, which I wouldn't mind, but don't think is what's best for him right away. He'll probably stay attached for too long. What do you think? Should I avoid him for a while until he seems a little more unattached and a little more over me? Or would it help to talk to him a lot and maybe even hang out with him? Have you been in this situation?

I would still talk to him and hang out with him. But if you absolutely doesn't like him like a boyfriend, you should move on with your life. Maybe after seeing you move on, he will do the same. If you're single, he will always think that he has a chance and will hang on. This situation happened to me before, I still kept in touch with him, but i moved on and dated other people. He finally moved on also and we're still close friends.

I think for awhile you should not say anything to him and give him time to get over it maybe call him in a month or so and see how he's doing! I don't think you should hang out with him because it may give him the wrong idea! If you weren't feeling it- then you did the right thing. You would have regretted more if you had waited because you were afraid to hurt him! :)

I have been not talking to him as much in person but talking to him normally on the computer. He seems to be doing better now. I think we're okay. Thanks for the advice.

The worst ever happen is to hop from one man to another. That's understandably the world's standard. It's anything goes. You accept someone into your life but you easily gave up on him. What did you think of having a boyfriend, to play?
O what foolish this generation is. But anyway, you broke up with him already so there's nothing more to prove!

OK, your response shows how foolish you are. I care about him, and he's a sweet guy, I just don't feel the same way he does. How does that mean I only wanted to 'play'. And I'm not hopping from one man to another, I broke up with him...and I'm still single.
Thank you for responding but read a little closer and think before you type.
