It's going to be my first year, and I've been dating this guy for about... a week. He's REALLY into me, he tells me every day. He thinks we'll be together for a long time. But the truth is, I don't know what I want. What I think I want is to meet new people in college and enjoy experiences and just focus on the work and indulge myself in the college life. He's a great guy. And I know this. And there's no valid reason in the relationship [like, nothing too wrong with it] to make me want to break it off... But the fact is, I just don't want to be in a relationship right now. How do I tell him that, and is this the right decision. (he's going into his final year of high school, but we only live about a 5 minute drive away from each other)

He tells me how much he loves being with me... every day. Then maybe it will hit him a little harder. But seriously, after a week I can't see how emotionally invested you can become in a person. ehmusic Posted at 1:04 pm on Aug. 30, 2008 Just tell him exactly what you just typed.  Just be sure you're really nice about it.  It shouldn't be too hard on him.  A week's a week. baby brandi 1408 Posted at 1:03 pm on Aug. 30, 2008 just tell him you don't want a relationship in college.. arwen rashka Posted at 1:03 pm on Aug. 30, 2008 Quote: from Micus at 1:01 pm on Aug. 30, 2008 Tell him that you think he is a cool guy, but thinking practically you just might find someone else and you want to remain available for the start of the school year.

Hint that you might be able to fool around with him, but no relationship. LightThisCity Posted at 12:56 pm on Aug. 30, 2008 Ditch him. All 9 previous replies displayed.
