How do I (18f) tell my boyfriend (18m) of 8 months that I need some serious space over the summer? He wants to spend every minute with me.

I may sound so mean in this and if so, I’m sorry but I think I’m actually really nice which is why I don’t know how to deal with this.

So I’ve been with my BF since about Halloween. I really liked him and things were great until prom when I specifically said way in advance that I wanted him to be my date and I specifically said I didn’t want an elaborate “will you go to prom with me” display. He didn’t listen and did one anyways by lighting candles spelling out “prom?” in our lawn (which burned out grass and made in Dad furious). He then thought this would get him sex after prom but “luckily” I got food poisoning and had to leave early and I got to side step the conversation and begging. Since then I feel like I still like him but I want some distance.

We graduated on Saturday and I started back to work at a miniature golf place where I’ve worked summers since I was 15. I really want to see my friends there before I leave for school in August. My boyfriend is there ALL THE TIME! I mean he’s there when we open and he’s waiting for me in the parking lot. He expects to come over after I work to hang out and he expects me to stay up with he and his friends until 6 am.

He says he’s jealous of me going away to school since he’s staying here and i owe it to him to spend as much time with him as I can since I’m leaving and he loves me so much.

I don’t love him and I’ve told him this because I’m just too young to know what love really is but what I don’t know is how to tell him i need some space. I love my friends at mini golf and some of my best summer memories have been with them but i feel like I can’t see them because my BF is just always there.

How do I tell him I just need some space and I will probably like him better if I just had some time away?

tl;dr: I need some space from my boyfriend, how do I tell him this?
