How do I break up with my boyfriend of one week?

Hi friends,

I 22F have been dating this guy 23M for 7 weeks now and have been officially BF/GF for less than a week. I was honestly caught of guard and said yes when he asked me… now I’m having major regrets.

He is SUPER shy and it’s only getting worse. He only opens up when he is drinking and it’s frustrating how I have to coax him to have a regular interaction. I am always the one to try to initiate cuddling or physical touch, and I never get any giveback (which is totally fine because consent is so important but he doesn’t pick up on any cues). For example, I was trying to cuddle with him and he told me to “move over” to the other side of the bed. We hardly kiss and whenever we do, it’s really bad.

I talked to him about how him seeming uncomfortable is pushing me away and he asserts that he feels super comfortable, but his body language is giving me the opposite. I honestly can’t handle how this is only getting worse and not better.

SO: how do I break up with him without completely destroying him? He is SUPER sensitive and I don’t want this to ruin his confidence for future experiences. Any help would be great!
