Relationship... Argh!

So I've been single for absolutly ages, over a year and I've been happy like that, just with random one nights with people, anyway last friday I got a boyfriend. And I thought I liked him, 'cos he seemed quite sweet so I said I'd go out with him, but now I don't think I wanna be with him. I mean i thought that maybe i was adjusting to being in a relationship with someone after so long, but it's like when I see him I think, "Oh damn I have to go over to see him..." and he's happy with everything but I feel that 1. I dont want to be here, and 2. I feel guilty for feeling like this. I think in my heart I want just random one nights with people, but I feel terrible for working this out after agreeing to go out with him. Do you think I should see if anything develops from this? Or just end it before he really gets hurt?

if you keep doing something you don't want to do, you may end up hating it much more... in my opinion if you do do something you're not sure about, then you could be accused of leading him on... you could ask if you could chill and be more relaxed about it and see what he says?

if you're not committed, tell him now before you hurt him

You're 16-17. (?) At the end of the day there's no point committing yourself to anything you're not happy with, especially at this stage in your life.

I've just been through something similar - I wanted to like a guy so much that I managed to temporarily convince myself I did, with the caveat 'let's take it slowly.' As soon as we kissed I realised the spark wasn't there, but the situation had become a lot more complicated to extricate myself from. As *starry_eyed_* said - the longer you leave it and are lying to him, the harder everything becomes when you do end it.
