I'm 16 and I'm in my first ever relationship. We've been dating for 4 months and I really liked him when we first started dating. But lately I don't think I feel the same way and I don't know why. He's a really great guy and he's still the same guy he was when I really liked him. He said he has strong feelings about me but I don't think I do for him anymore. I do care a lot about him and would hate to hurt him but I don't feel it anymore. I think I might regret this later if I tell him I want to take a break, but I think I just have to.

There are stages in a relationship...
You have passed that "infatuation" stage and a "love" stage never set in.
In other words if he is right for you then the bond would get stronger.
I think you are doing the right thing by breaking it off.
Tell him the following lines , " its not you its me"
"I'm not ready for a serious relationship" " I need some time alone " "I need to focus on my school" ( which you really do actually) "need some space" etc etc
in two years you can date me . I will be all done with college and have my life all together.
I am joking you are way to young to be dating right now anyways.
What you need to do is hang out with guys to find the type of guy you like . Also do not get knock up being a single mom not fun or easy. Oh get good grades and go to college and have fun.

Your heart knows what you want.
Your head has to convince yourself to stop feeling guilty.
It's your life. Make it a good one.
And, break up with him in a way that's logical and objective. That way, his heart isn't as hurt.
Ex, "We do not share... similar interests.. values.. personality styles."
You are young and have a whole lifetime ahead of you, you would be very foolish to think a relationship with this guy will last forever. Date other people put off getting serious about anyone until you are at least 25 years old, gain some experience so you will know what you really want out of life. Usually when you 'take a break' you never get back together again on a permanent basis...

Yup, you should, you are too young to be in an exclusive relationship.
Well, it's your "first ever" relationship. Believe me, I look back to when I was 16 and who I dated and typically my response is "what was I thinking??"
You're still finding yourself, even if you don't realize it. A year from now, even 6 months, you won't be the same person you are right here and now. It's ok to change your mind, it's ok to feel differently. It's expected. Sometimes things have to fall apart to make way for better things.
Also, the fact that you're debating continuing the relationship is a pretty clear red flag that you should end it. It isn't fair to him.
