do i need to break up with him?

6 months ago i started casually being with a guy and we never dated just friends with benefits so now there is a new guy that i like and i'm wondering if i should let the first guy know i won't be needing him around anymore or should i just not contact him and let him get the message that i don't want to see him anymore

    I think you at least owe him a goodbye. If it was truly friends with benefits, he shouldn't be hurt about it and you never know, you may need such a friend in the future. Just be honest.

    Yes tell the FWB that you've met someone and are not available anymore. You can't start something new with that in the background. Since you're asking this question, I suspect it means you wouldn't want this new guy to have a FWB on the side. If that is the case, don't do unto others what you don't want done to you. Besides that will sabotage your changes with this guy & relationships are difficult enough with adding to it.

    Good luck with the new guy!

    Tell him that you don't feel comfortable with how things are progressing between the two of you. It really isn't his concern that you have a new interest. If he makes a big deal of you trying to break off the friends with benefits situation, then play the "new guy" card.

    Whoa, are you just totally disgusted by your old friend now? If you still want to stay friends, but just that, just tell him.

    No one likes a cold (shoulder), and if you start that now, don't expect the new guy to stick around.

    tell him that you have found someone you want to commit to. Don't let the other guy hanging and wondering. It's best to be honest since your current relationship with that other guy isn't that serious.

    You should be honest and upfront about it. If you don't tell him, he might turn into a creepy stalker"ish" person.
