What do I say without hurting him?

You can’t break his heart after one day unless there is something wrong with him, in which case it won’t be your fault.

Yep, that is an annoying boy all right . . .

Be truthful. And next time, put more thoughts into the connections you create with people. He might be very hurt, and I wouldn’t blame him.

It’s really impossible for you to predict how he will react, but how he reacts is his choosing. You need to do what is right for you. Don’t stay because you are worried about breaking his heart. He will recover and move on.

just be honest, and above all clear, leave no room for misinterpretation; after that it’s a lot about how he reacts – treat him as you would want to be treated.

It’s good you have only been together for one day, because the sooner you do it, the better off he will be. That sounds crass, but it’s not. If you let him develop further expectations, it will be worse than if you were just a fleeting tryst. Any time you break up with a guy, it affects him, even if he won’t admit it. There’s nothing you can do to make it so that nothing ever happened. Just treat him fairly and if he is the type to wheedle, be firm.

Since you’ve only been together for a day, he probably won’t feel that bad. Just tell him that you’re not right for each other and wish him the best.

That’s a year in teen time.

If he cares about you, he will realise that to push the issue is not good for either of you. Tell him straight, and make sure he understands your reasons, but also tell him why you want to be close friends rather than pushing him away completely.

Just tell him that you don’t want to have a boyfriend right now and want to be friends with him. Who knows maybe if you guys stay friends that will show he cares and you guys can get together again later. The best relationships can start from friendships. Good luck

There’s no easy way, but say it in a way that is humble. Be a a little self effacing because you’re in the position of power. Give allowance for him to be a bit of a jerk because a guy will often cover his hurt with arrogance. Just don’t take any of it that serious and keep in mind that you probably won’t even remember it in a month.

its not you its me….
i just dont have time to have a bf right now and i loove you too much for you not to see other girls and wait until im free to hang out with you..this way you and i can see different people, but can still be friends

LMAO
Now she might need boots to say that one
seriously deep bullshit

In high school I had my heart broken after just a few days:( What the guy said was “I just want to be friends.” I hated it.
Try that you don’t want a boyfriend right now, that you’re really focusing on school and extracurriculars (or whatever) and that you don’t want to be tied down.

Note: if you go this route, don’t get another boyfriend right after.

You cannot be responsible for someone elses feelings, regardless of how long or short the duration of the relationship. Nonetheless, you have a responsibility as a human being to be thoughtful and kind in your delivery, and most importantly… truthful! He will grow to appreciate you more as a person in the long run… and will will have helped to avoid creating issues for him down the road in future relationships. And you will have learned how to handle a relational situation in a mature manner… It’s a win-win for the both of you!

Well it can be like this:
“Well we’ve had our ups and down and from the moment I first saw you in homeroom , I knew that this would be a tumultuous relationship. Sure we managed to get passed that first period infatuation stage but once the endorphin rush was cleared out by third period it was deep. I loved you since before the bus stop…
The madness of math as you touched my protractor and I caressed your compass was pure delight. By lunch we were lost in a haze of chocolate milk and dreams of the prom. It was torture to be apart during sixth and seventh period and when I passed you in the hall before eighth it was all I could do not to ring the fire alarm and scream to the school how much I loved you. When the bell rang and I saw you again outside school you smiled, I laughed…but something had changed. The honeymoon was over. Long past were the hours when you passed me notes and I knew that something precious had passed. The eight hours we spent together will be etched in my memory forever. Burned like the leaves of a smoldering fire. I loved you, but sometimes love isn’t enough. We’ll always have French class. Au revoir mon amour.”

“I just want to be friends.” Yeah. Boys love that.

exactly…“we can share our secret dreams and confide in each other, and you can listen to me for hours on end….oh ya but no kissing or sex silly..we’re just FRIEEEEEEENDS…”

There is no way to tell him this without hurting his feelings, especially if he cares for you. Make it short and to the point. You don’t even have to explain why you don’t want to be with him anymore, that is up to you. Just tell him. The worse part is how his reaction will be. He may freak out and begin being hurtful or will be hurt, silent and leave. Good luck.
