Hi my name is Kimberly. I haven't dated anyone in two years due to I needed a lot of time to get over my last boyfriend.Who I dated all through high school. So I am now in college and I met a nice guy in my class and one day he asked me for my phone number I gave it to him he seemed nice and I need to start dating again. well we have gone out twice and things have become complicated. I just wanted someone to go out with on Friday nights and just date nothing serious and he has turned this into a relationship. We have only had two dates but he calls at least once everyday and wants every minute of my free time. I need to know what to do. Since we have only had two dates he's not my boyfriend so I am just confused about how to break things off.

Did you tell him that you do not consider him your boyfriend and where things stand? It would help clear things up and I think he would appreciate knowing the truth. If he doesn't understand after you tell him, just say "I'm sorry this is not working out and not what I wanted." With the next relationship you have, make it clear what you want, casual dating.
