You're coming on to him about this break up too softly. Make him realize what you're feeling. Dont let yourself think that doing this break up would make you feel guilty or something. I think your afraid of hurting him. Tell him to his face. Its hard sometimes, ive been through it. It will all come out for the better. Dont forgive him for all the lies he said. Dont feel like you should be stuck with him, you're young. He is not sweet if he lies damn it. Let yourself know that you deserve better. And even without your bf's friend in the picture.. You dont like him anyways. At least break up with your boyfriend and leave the guy you actually like for later. Just let me suggest that going out with your soon-to-be-ex's friend right after, gives the impression that you're a slut >.< It happened to me <.< BREAK UP WITH HIM. If he keeps coming around, its because you're letting him. After many hints, more hints isnt the solution. Officially end it. Hopefully this helps. Respond... - Lana <3

thanx i looked him in the eyes and i said i don't like you anymore you have lied to me for ever and i sick of it get out of here and stay away from me its over between us. I haven't seen or heard from him since! Plus your right about the friend thing it does make an imoression of a slut so im gonna wait for a couple months! and thanx to everyone else that gave me advice i really appreciate it!

just tell him...gotta do what you gotta do

Yay! Congrats. Yea.. Please take my advice on the 'slut' thing (: I'm so glad what you did. Thats amazing and you totally stood up for yourself. Even i wouldn't have been able to do that :| (: I'm so happy for you and best of luck with that other guy. <333 - Lana

I think the sooner you tell him the better, it's only going to get harder the longer you wait.

Of course he's going to be mad and I don't really blame him. But it seems like you really want his friend so yeah, just tell the guy you are now dating asap.

edit: I so did not even read the posts above me. So I see you told him. I think you could've been a bit nicer with breaking up with him but eh whatever. Good luck with his friend.

Okay first, break up with the poor lad rather than throwing "hints".
Get him one to one, and tell him it's over! Make sure it's drilled into his head.
I think he'll be really upset if you just dump him then run off to his mate, I mean give it time at least!
Just don't expect him not to be upset or angry when you do date his friend... Because it's more than likely he will be. .
Just be careful what you do.
