So I'm 17 years old and I have been with my boyfriend for 2 years now. But recently we have both been fizzling out. He still tells me he loves me everyday and is super sweet but I don't feel like I'm attracted to him anymore. I'm not sure if it's just because we have been in the relationship so long that I want to see what else is out there or maybe I'm just too young to be tied down. I'm confused because I do care about him and I don't want to hurt him. How should I approach this?

This is quite common. I am 18 years old and have been in a relationship quite like this. After a year things slowed down and the love seemed to burn out. I still cared for her but wanted to move on so I did. Its natural when your young to seek new relationships. My advice is to talk to your boyfriend let him know how you feel and break it off for a while and see how it feels. If you want to keep it broke off don't come back if not well you. Good luck be strong

Seems the initial infatuation is dying down... Love, is not swooning over your partner every time you see him/her.

First of all, be sure of your own feelings. Try and find out is it loss of love/deep feelings for him. Tell your boyfriend freely and openly how you feel. Take a break. Evaluate your needs, your future, your real feelings for him.

If you don't love him, you don't love him. No point dragging the relationship.

If you feel like you want to see what's out there and is confused whether to be with this guy, you should let him know instead of playing him and it only gets harder later.

If you are wanting to experience other things, then it is time to break up. Be honest with him, he should respect your decision. Just remember not to cheat.

As a guy I would rather be heartbroken from honesty, than lied to from confusion.
