should i end my relationship??

okay so I'm dating this guy and i really like him but from the beginning i've always been kind of second guessing dating him. a reason could maybe be because the last person i dated cheated on me but another reason could just be i'm not prepared for a relationship right now. it's been 2 and a half months now and i think i should maybe break up with him. i find myself always making excuses of why i cant hangout with him if he asks me to. he's such a nice guy and when i am with him i have fun and don't think of breaking up with him. but if i'm not 100 percent into it, shouldn't i end it? plz help.

If you're not into it, you should end it. I mean like for me, my last relationship ended for no real reason, my ex wasn't a bad person in any way but I stopped feeling it and I let it going that way for a while and we ended up falling out and obviously breaking up.

At first you might think you've made a mistake, or you want them back but that's just you not being used to being single. After a while, you'll be able to clear your mind and realise why it is you want it to be over. You shouldn't have to settle for someone.

if he's good yet " i find myself always making excuses of why i cant hangout with him if he asks me to"
something's up with you not him
why don't you want to hang around with him? does he stink fam?

just calm it and chill with him
you said you like it when you do so maybe you should spend more time with him

I think he will, if he has any spine he will want nothing to do with you in honesty, and while I would never support you remaining in a relationship you don't want to, you will have to consider whether you value your friendship with him before you breakup.

Nope, nopety nope, Get outta' there, if there is no spark there is no fire, end of. You can't second guess your way through a relationship, love shouldn't be played around with, regardless of whether he is nice or not. Just be friends, everything you described above is generally what friends do, if you were both super serious then either of you would jump at the chance of there comfort and time. I think you should end it ASAP, so you can reap the benefits of being single or 'looking for a relationship'.

Follow up question: Depends on what type of person you are, if you're generally more reserved, then i'd suggest you break it off with a text and then a phone call or if you're gutsy arrange to meet [don't meet at each others houses, bad idea!] somewhere like a cafe and break it off there. Always ask to be friends after and always give an explanation why; tell them that there wasn't any spark or you weren't feeling it anymore.

I don't think you'll ever get into a LTR with an attitude like this, the spark goes when things get serious, it's your decision whether or not to give up on them after that, I could not remain friends with someone who gave up on me, whatever the circumstance.

Ain't read the details, because I don't need to.

If you're questioning it, then you shouldn't stick around in the relationship. It's 100% or 0. For your own sake. :cute:

but if I'm not 100 percent sure this is what I want, isn't it better to end it now rather than leading him on any longer?

Are you kidding me? This'll just keep happening over and over until you learn to accept that in some relationships your SO is a douche and will [...]
Why throw away a perfectly good relationship that you're in now, for something that might be nothing compared to the one you threw away, just because you were paranoid that he will cheat on you??

For the record, if you keep turning him down he'll want to break up with you for obvious reasons

EDIT: forgot about reason 2, that changes everything :colondollar:

If you do decide to break up, make sure you have time to get over reason 1 before starting another relationship, else history will repeat itself.

All the best!!

I don't see why that would be the case, rarely are people 100 percent sure of anything, certainly there are many with personalities that prevent such judgements entirely. You have to consider it from a practical point of view.

You value your friendship with him yes? If you did not you would not really be concerned with how to break it, a simple text would suffice.

The question is does he value the relationship more than friendship? If so you will hurt him, you will lose a friend, in other words no one wins.

He might even be angry at you for letting it get this far, you've already led him on in a way.

Refusing to be friends is simply being immature, if you can't learn to forgive and move on then you shouldn't be looking for relationship in the first place. I completely disagree in regards to you saying-"the spark goes when things get serious" psh, no it doesn't. Love is eternal and nothing less, the spark makes a flame, the flame simply changes colour when you grow older, it doesn't die and it doesn't wither.

i do like him but i just think it's wrong if i keep dating someone that i'm constantly second guessing, isn't it unfair if i stay in this relationship even if i'm second guessing it? i feel like that's leading him on ://

Childish, how old are you 12? It is actually scientifically proven to be impossible to sustain the chemical reaction of 'love' in the first phrases of a relationship, it wades eventually, that is inevitable.

Refusing to be friends with someone who does not respect you is not childish, it is called having self-respect

There is no easy way of doing it but you need to tell him that you are not feeling right for a relationship, and do it in person not by text or something. Let him go so he can find someone else.
