holly. if you really need to, get out and experiment with some other people. however, I'm sure you still care about him, and don't want to hurt him.. so DO NOT, under any circumstances, lie to him about why you're breaking up. Tell him that you just feel like you need to go get out and experiment with other guys for a while. then, give it at least a month before dating anyone else. and who knows, maybe in 6 months or so, you'll get all your teenage fantasies out of your way and decide you want him back. whether or not he'll take you back after that is a different story. but seriously, you need to be honest with him, and then give him some time to accept the fact before moving on to other people. otherwise he'll feel the same as I did in my "and that's it?" thread. not good.

and to jiujitsu_jesus, you have a typo in your username and I just noticed it for the first time as I tried to write your name. but anyway, forget her! go find some other girl, and you'll probably find (probably sooner then you'd thought) that this one girl isn't the only girl in the world. you can thank me later!

and just for some comic relief:
