I knew it would be awkward, but I just spent 42 minutes "breaking up with" the boy. It's done. He's a nice guy. I do not feel nearly as bad as I did when I knew I wanted to stop seeing him but had not told him. I am trying not to feel guilty after talking to him.
He has an excellent point in that the only way that a relationship will work is if you open yourself up to someone (duh), and I know I have a hard time doing that. Here is where I make excuses for myself though - I feel like when I meet the right guy I will not have a hard time opening up, as I have not always had a hard time doing that anyway. The ex never had that patience to wait the 10 minutes it takes for me to really start talking once I have started talking about something difficult. So I stopped trying. That is bad and and I need to avoid that repeating itself. This guy was just not the one with whom to do try and I think I knew that a long time ago and hoped for the best anyway. Lesson learned.

I'm glad for you that it worked out. I think you are right in that opening up to the 'right guy' is definitely easier. There is just something about certain people that inspires confidences.
