Ms. Sassy,
I work two jobs so I recently turned to online dating to help me in my search for the perfect guy. After a few failed dates, I met a great guy and we started dating. He's cute and REALLY nice and we have the same religious upbringing. Things started out great but the second we put the official label on our relationship every thing went down hill, and fast! A week into the relationship he got this really strange and awkward mouth infection, so i literally haven't kissed him in like.... months! Then he announced that he was a VIRGIN; he's saving himself for his wife. I think I could deal with the the whole being a virgin issue but whenever we do make out he hasn't even made it out of his pants before the grand finale... if you know what I mean. He's super nice...and he REALLY likes me...but at this point I just don't like him as much as he likes me. It's literally like dating a high school boy. I think not expressing his sexuality has really stunted him in a lot of ways. I want to break up with him but how do I do that without seeming like a total bitch? I really don't want to hurt him.

Wow! I'm totally with you on this. Dating a virgin is one thing but dating a virginal male with a pre-ejaculatory problem is a whole different story. All I could think about when reading your letter was that scene with Jason Biggs and Shannon Elizabeth in American Pie. As for pointers on how to break up with this guy, I would definitely go with, "It's not you, it's me." However, make it more original. Blame it on work...tell him that you really like him but you just don't feel like you have the time to commit to your relationship, which isn't fair to him, and maybe you guys should take a break until things settle down for you. Ta-da, problem solved. You are free and he doesn't feel like his non-existent sexual prowess is the cause.
Happy dumping,
