1. You Don’t Feel a Spark
Sometimes, you'll end up dating an amazing guy that you know you should love, but don't. If that happens, don't feel bad. Just because he treats you right doesn't mean that you need to stay with him. If there isn't a spark, then you two don't belong together. Niceness is important, but it's not the only thing that you need in a relationship.
2. You’re Not Physically Attracted to Him
You're never going to date a boy who looks like the spitting image of Chris Pratt. That's something that you have to come to terms with. Of course, that doesn't mean that you should settle for dating a guy you find unattractive. Physical attraction is important. You won't be able to find a man who looks perfect, but you should keep searching until you find a guy you think is sexy.
Frequently asked questions
3. He Bores You
Sometimes, the nicest men are the most boring men. If you're dating someone who bores you on the first date, then it's probably not going to get any better from there. The more you see each other, the harder it'll be to think of new things to chat about. That's why you should break up with a guy that you can't stand talking to.
4. You like Someone else
If you develop feelings for someone else, you shouldn't feel bad. However, if you want to act on your feelings, then you need to break up with your boyfriend. It's better to leave him now than to cheat on him. You'd break his heart either way, so you might as well do the respectful thing, even if it's the harder thing.
5. You Miss the Single Life
Some women hate being single, but other women love it. If you're part of the latter group, then there's nothing wrong with leaving your boyfriend in order to be single again. If you want to be unattached, that's your choice. Just make sure to tell him that there's nothing he did wrong.
6. You Can't Picture a Future Together
It doesn't matter how much you love a man. If you don't think you're going to marry him and have his children, then it's okay to leave him. If your end goal is to find someone to spend the rest of your life with, then there's no sense in wasting your time with someone you know you're bound to break up with eventually.
7. You Don’t Have a Reason to Stay
You should be able to list a bunch of reasons why you like your boyfriend. If you can't think of anything good about him, then why are you with him? If there isn't any reason to stay, then you should get up and go.
8. He Doesn't Support Your Goals
One of the core character values we learn as children is respect and if he doesn't respect your values, goals, or wishes then it's time you kick him to the curb! A truly supportive and worthy boyfriend he will be your own personal cheer squad-even if it's a simple good luck text.
9. He's Too Clingy
Yes, it's cute at first to be showered with affection, however, after awhile you realize it's become quite annoying to not be able to go do your own thing once in awhile without him pouting. Don't jump to dumping him, try talking it out and if he still doesn't get it then it's time to move on to better (less suffocating) things.
10. You Can't Trust Him
This one is plain and simple-if he lies or if you just can't seem to trust a thing he says, then you need to head for the hills away from this relationship immediately! Don't waste your time on someone you can't trust because there's no future in a relationship like that.
You can't remain in a relationship, just because you feel bad about breaking a boy's heart. Have you ever broken up with a boy?
