How do I break up with someone that was never my boyfriend in the first place?

Question - (10 March 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 10 March 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I have been seeing the same guy for the past 6 months. We go on dates, hook up, etc. and he contacts me every single day. We are not officially dating though and honestly, i'm tired of wasting the energy into something that doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Every day i tell myself that i am just going to never speak to him again, and move on. but of course i like him and wish that it could work out, so it's difficult for me to ignore him. i convince myself that i am just scared to let myself care and be cared for.

but now i am sure that after 6 months with little progression, that i am ready to give up. here is the issue: when he contacts me tomorrow, and the next day, do i just continue to ignore him? is this the best solution? i just want to move on. he wasn't technically my boyfriend so i don't feel like i have the right to go out of my way to tell him i am ending our relationship. on the other hand, he never did anything wrong and won't understand why i can't atleast respond as a friend.

basically, how do i break up with someone who was never my boyfriend in the first place?

mizz.butterflies agony auntDon't ignore him.

Tell him straight you want something official.

If hes not ready for it,its better to take a break from each other.

Kenj agony auntDont ignore him, he obviously likes you. Tell him its nothing personal but you need some space of your own.

If you want to stay just friends with him, tell him that you would like to stay freinds otherwise tell him you need a clean break.
