Anyways, I've been facing some light issues here regarding my relationship. The girl likes me . . . a lot. More than my other ex.
Whether you've intended to or not, by being 'on the fence' with her, you've made her interest increase exponentially.
I...uh, did that to a coworker a couple of years ago without realizing it.

Hell, she's even had serious problems when I chose my ex over her. Well, now we're dating and there is that one, single detail that bothers the living hell out of me.
If you do not tend to this, it will increase if you internalize it. Are you dating this girl? Or are you pursuing a relationship? Either way...communication is key.

Some folks told me it isn't that big of a deal, but it is to me.
Other folks ain't you, apologize to none for how you feel.

I am tempted into, well, trying to find a way to break up but it is so damn soon. And I would be called an opportunist man-whore. I know cheating isn't the option to rectify the situation. Cause that's wrong on so many levels and doing any of the above would shatter her heart. She's been a friend for 4+ years.
There is no easy out.
You've entered into a state where another person thinks of you romantically. The only way
out of this is
through it.
Take accountability, be responsible for everything you say and do. Don't be careless with her heart, or with yours. Maintain respect at all times, for both yourself and her. Don't raise your voice, don't wear your heart on your sleeve either.
Ironically, confidence will carry you through this.
If your plan is to break up with as little amount of collateral damage as is possible then see the path through and stick with it. Dodging side to side as uncertain what direction to take will make her think that you don't really know what you want, or worse that there is a chance for things to work out.

Our families are super close, too. Call me childish or thinking immaturely, but some things are big deals to some people. I need some advice. This is something I can't handle.
There is no guarantee that we won't hurt the ones we love.
Just because you two are 'storybook' perfect in the minds of your loved ones, does not make them either of you. This is ultimately your own life, and you must be with yourself every moment between this one and your last.
Be someone you can live with.
