How do I tell him I'm seeing someone else?

Don't you think it will hurt him more if you don't tell him?

Yeah, I know. He's asked me to go out again on Friday and I just can't bring myself to tell him, I know he'll be upset. What can I say?

I doubt this thread will make me very popular, but I just need some advice about what to do.

I've been speaking to this boy and we have so much in common, he seems like he'd be perfect for me. He is quite shy and quiet, but he's starting to come out of his shell more and I know that he likes me, and I've got a feeling he wants to ask me out.

We were supposed to go to a gig last week, but it got cancelled and he didn't have money to do anything else, so I went the pictures some other boy I'd met just for something to do. We got on so well and we've barely been apart since. I wasn't expecting it to go so well, now he's my boyfriend and I can see that it could be quite serious.

My problem is that I've still been speaking to the first boy, and he's such a nice person I can't bring myself to tell him that I've started seeing someone as it would definately upset him. What should I do?

The longer you stretch it out the worse it will be for him, put yourself in his shoes, im sure you would prefer to be told what was going on!

Oh dear
Just say something like "I should have told you sooner but I'm seeing someone else, I'm sorry"

You're right, I never thought about it like that

Don't tell him you've chosen someone else over him, there's no reason for him to know he's been bettered. Just say you don't want a relationship at the minute.
