Breaking up gently...dettaching...

Tagged as: Big Questions<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (8 December 2007) 1 Answers - (Newest, 9 December 2007)
A male Zambia age 30-35, *nonimato writes:

I have been dating a guy for about two weeks, and during those two weeks we've seen each other basically everyday. At first I thought it was great, I thought this is what I needed, someone to share my life with. But lately, I've realized that perhaps I'm better off alone. I don't like being accountable to someone, and I'm becoming bored of him. It's not his fault, he's been everything I could hope for in a boyfriend, but I guess I just like the independence of being alone.

The problem is,

1) How do I break that to him without him taking it personally?

2) He bought me Christmas presents, and even a Christmas tree to put up in my apartment (he's so sweet!). I feel bad about asking him to take them back, or offering to buy them from him, but I feel even worse about waiting it out till Christmas, and *then* telling him that I want to break up.

3.) He has a key to my house. Do I change the lock?

Oddball.x agony auntTell him that your not ready for a relationship but hope to be friends.

Offer his things back if he dosnt accpet the friendship.

Also ask for the key back to your house.

But if he does accept the friendship then still offer his things back but let him have the key if you trust him enough.
