dear cupids

I really don't know what to do you see my boyfriend is madly in love with me and he tells me all the time he loves me and he wants to be with me forever and he will not make me do anything I don't want EVER! and he always hugs me and holds my hands in front of his mates as well as when we're alone. He loves me and I don't feel the same way. I don't love him and I can't love him no matter how hard I try. I don't want to break his heart but I don't want to be stringing him on. I don't want him to get hurt and I don't want to fall out altogether but I don't know what to do. I'm desperate.

Answer if you can please I'll rate your answers. thanx x

you need to break up with him right away. A girl did to me what your doing to him. It the worst thing. And once you break up no more sex. No telling him you miss him, No drama when he goes out with someone else. You cant have it both ways!!

I know what you mean. I really love my boyfriend but I don't know whether to stay with him or not, as I don't know whether I'm 'in love' with him! We are so close, have been together for 10 months, we have arranged to go on holiday to Greece in the summer, and have arranged to go to the same uni but I think I want to be single and have fun, flirt and get with who I want as I have never done this and have always had boyfriends!! I also like this other guy who knows this and we have been texting each other. I just think I don't want to be in a long term relationship!!

YummyMummy agony auntDON'T do it over the phone or msn or text! It hurts doing it that way. Especially if you want to remain friends with him.

I would sit down with him alone and talk to him. Explain you don't love him and you have tried but it just isn't happening but you would love to be his friend. It's up to him then what he wants to do. He may want some space so give it to him.

JessAgonyAunt agony auntHey, babe look you need to tell him, the longer this goes on the more you and him will get hurt, it's better to do it sooner than later because you need to give yourself and him a chance to move on, you can't stay with him if your not happy, if he loves you that much i'm sure all he wants is you to be happy, your still really young you have lots of oppertuinties to meet new people.

good luck hun

if you need to talk please email me

jess xxxx
