i really only dated my ex because i was best friends with him and he said he was in love with me, so i was with him for a year and a half even tho i only really saw him as a friend. i fell for another guy while dating him though, and when that guy asked me out i broke up with my ex just by saying i couldnt be his girlfriend anymore because i didnt like him in that way and i didnt want to be with him in that way anymore.
was only 16 at the time, so it really wasnt very deep at all. he did cry though. i felt like crap.
