I don't want to kiss my boyfriend

Dear Amy

I have a boyfriend, who I’ve been 'going out' with for about 7 weeks. But I don’t feel right with him, and he wants to kiss me but I don’t want to. Not because I don’t know how to, I just don’t want to. I want to finish with him, but I no he'll be upset when I tell him. What can I say? By the way, I’m not the type to tell him over text or email...

The simple answer to this is: if you don’t want to kiss anyone, then you don’t have to kiss anyone.

You obviously care about this person because you’re concerned he’ll be upset, but guilt is never a good enough reason to stay in a relationship.

Just because you don’t want to kiss him, it doesn’t mean you don’t like him. You might just not like him in that way and there’s nothing wrong with that either.
