I have since broken up with my boyfriend, but don't know how to inform this guy I am now single without being overly blunt about it.My last boyfriend was the first relationship I have ever been in (we met in high school), so any advice on how the adult dating game works would be appreciated. I am very new to this, since I was 15 the last time I was in this position. Reply to this Question

 What's wrong with being overly blunt? Some guys really need to be "hit over the head" about things. (girls too like me)
Do you see him regularly... that's not hard at all to let him know... you just mention that you're now single and ready to move on... being the rebound guy or gal is never fun.
Are you sure he's available and still interested?

 So why not be blunt? If you're interested in him and he's still available, there's no shame in being up front. Maybe ask if he wants to go out sometime.
The good thing about dating as an adult compared to dating as a teenager is that people are (generally) more mature about it and there aren't as many games involved. Be yourself and be straight forward, no need to beat around the bush :)

You didn't give a lot of information about the situation. Do you see him frequently? How do you contact him? Under what situation do you contact him?
