How do you break up with your boyfriend?

He's my very first boyfriend, and I don't know how to approach him with the topic that we should start seeing other people.





I'm young, please enlighten me with ways to tell him that it's over from people who have actually done/experienced breaking up.





HELP.How do you break up with your boyfriend?
Instructions





Step 1





Believe you will be okay. You're a strong person and you can handle this. It hurts but you'll make it. Just believe in yourself. It seems intense and overwhelming when you are in the middle of a breakup but those feelings will pass with time.





Step 2





Let it hurt. Let it all out. Bottling up your feelings inside will only make things hurt longer. It's normal to feel this way. It will get easier and it's okay to be sad. Listen to your favorite sad songs and let it all





Step 3





Talk to friends or to a trusted adult. Seek comfort and advice. You don't have to go through this alone. Many people care about you and want to help you.





Step 4





Comfort yourself. You're hurting and you deserve to be pampered. Give yourself time to grieve. You have suffered a loss.





Step 5





Be true to yourself. You may feel like it's your fault and you want to change but you don't need to change. Sometimes people just break up and there's nothing you could do to change that. You're fine just the way you are.





Step 6





Keep busy. Find new interests after giving yourself time to grieve. Work some extra hours or find a new job. Keeping busy helps time go faster and keeps your mind off your loss.





Step 7





Treat yourself. Go shopping, see a movie or have a long bubble bath. You deserve something special. Be your own best friend and treat yourself well.How do you break up with your boyfriend?
i know its soooo hard so im gonna help you with this answer as much as i can:





something i do is i will tell him that you think that he's an amazing guy but he could do much better then you and that you think that yall should start looking for more compatibility





or you could tell him that you miss yall just being friends (if yall were) and that your just not used to going out with him because you always think back to when ya'll were friends





or you could tell him why your breaking up with him and give him the chance to fix it ( i did that and now i have the most amazing boyfriend ever (: )





i hope i helped this is a tough thing to do but it has to be done and he's gonna get over you and move on to other girls so if your ready to let go then just be as nice as possible but make sure its what you want to do.
Definitely do it face to face.


And just be as honest as you can without being hurtful. Tell him you've had a lovely time with him, and that he'll always be special to you (After all, you never forget your first boyfriend!) but that you're feeling ready for a change.


Hopefully he'll accept this.


And afterwards, just be sensitive! Give it a good few weeks before moving on to anyone else, preferably over a month, and try your best to stay on good terms with him. Hopefully you still want to be friends!
Okay you need to say


';--(insert name here)----, i really think we should take a brake for a while. This might be hard to hear for you but i don't feel the same as i did when i was first seeing you. I think we should see other people';





It's gonna hurt for him if he really likes you either way. There is no way to make the pain stop:(
i think its better if you do it in person but lots of people dont have the guts to do it.





tell him that you dont think things are working out between you guys and that you'd rather just be friends.





^ something like that i guess. sorry if its not much help.
I did it through a text. I couldnt get the nerve to do it any other way.
