Well i have a suggestion......maybe you could just possible say "Hey i'm sorry but i don't really think this boyfriend and girlfriend thing is working out to well." That should work OK for you.

Hope it helps!!!

No offence to you but you got yourself into this...

You don't understand how much you've hurt this guy already just by saying yes! He's now filled with hope and thinks he's finally found a girl that likes him as much as he likes her. But you've just got his hopes up. The only way you can get out of this is to tell him the turth!

Ok, so he'll be hurt at first, but he will get over it. Do you really want to be the b*tch that went out with a boy cause you felt sorry for him THEN lied to him about it?!

Make up your own mind, but think about how he feels.

I'm 15 and have been in a situation exactly like this. You may not want to take my advice because I am younger than other agony aunts on this web address, but here's what I have to say.

First off get him on his own, he'll be mortified if you dump him publically. Then gently tell him that you would just like to be friends. Simple!

To avoid yourself getting into other sticky situations like this, tell all the other lads that ask you out but you don't want to go out with, that you would just like to be friends.

First of all, you really shouldn't have said yes to this boy if you only liked him as a friend. Now you have said yes, the situation may be hard to get out of, because he obviously thinks your interested and you have given him false hopes. I know you haven't done this intentionally, but that is the way it's turned out. You need to finish the relationship and get it overwith if your not happy. The best way to do this is let him down gently, however i don't think there's anyway around it without hurting his feelings. Just say to him that you've had a long, hard think about it, and you have realised that you think of him as a friend and not a potential boyfriend. Tell him that you truly value him as a friend and you hope you can still be friends.

Good luck
