I'm in a bit of a predicament. here's my situation:
A friend asked me out over a month ago, and we initially hit it off pretty well. And, as the weeks have gone by, he has proven himself to be one of the most considerate and caring guys I have ever met. He does everything right! He's there when I need him, willing to drop everything he's doing to talk. He even wakes up early to see if I'm in bed (I'm in college - I pull all nighters).

But, relationships are a new thing for me. And, I'm not sure what I feel about him. He obviously likes me A LOT, and I'm not used to that. I also feel bad that he's putting so much effort in this relationship, and I'm just along for the ride. I honestly don't know what I feel about him, although I can't ever picture us together in the future.

The relationship is also hurting my friendship between me and my best friend. For years, no one had ever gotten in between our relationship and she just can't get used to a guy. She's been putting a lot of stress on me, and being very accusatory that I'm dropping her for a guy.

So what do I do? Should I break up before it gets too in? How do I break up with a former friend turned boyfriend without it turning ugly for our friendship?

Thanks
