I'm not sure that he'd hurt me physically, but I know he would hurt himself. I'm not happy in my relationship and I want out, but he's constantly telling me he'd run away from home or simply kill himself if I ever left. I've never had to leave a guy for the reasons I am now, so I don't know how to do it. The other boyfriends I've had always ended because we AGREED that it was over. This time, it would be me all-out dumping him. Any tips or ideas on how I should?
Talk with him in person about it. Let him know he needs to find someone to talk to, and that the person can't be you any longer. I agree with the other posters, he is just saying those things to keep you around. A psychologist or school counselor would be the best person for him to go talk about his issues with.
Don't talk to him as if there is any other option. Your mind is made up, and you are just letting him know what is going on.
If you don't think he will get violent then do it in person. Everyone deserves that. If not, then do it over the phone. You cannot concern yourself with what he says he may do, that's just controlling behavior. If you REALLY think that he will hurt himself then give his parents a heads-up before you drop him. That may be awkward, but the right thing to do.
I know it's hard to hear those things, but what he is doing is looking to manipulate you. This guy has serious problems. I am older than you and know that when people want to hurt themselves they don't say it, they just do it. I lost few friends when younger due to suicides and we never saw it coming. You need to break away from him and whatever he decides to do with his life it's not your problem, it's his. You can't control what other people do to themselves trying to do to sabotage your life. Move on and I assure you that he is just looking for attention, but if it makes you feel better call his parents and friends and warn them. That's all you can do. Good luck

What pickup lines do you use to start a conversation with someone you are attracted to?
I don't use "pickup lines" on girls I am attracted to. If I am attracted to her, I try to approach her in a way that is engaging, such as commenting on something related to the current situation. At other times, a simple hi and a smile are my weapon of choice.
How do they typically respond?
Girls mostly respond in a positive way, but there are always the shy or uninterested girls that don't allow me to get past a simple hi.
