Theres this girl. We were dating for a year( i know thats preety sad) Now i want to break up with her. How do i brake up with someone without hurting their feelings?
GirlyGirl1234 answered Wednesday October 6 2004, 7:27 pm: Well, you really cant, but i suggest you say what u feel, like you dont want to hurt her feelings, but it wasnt meant to be. Dating for a year isnt sad if you really like each other!
good luck

If she really cares about you, she should be understanding. [ Basketball3846's advice column | Ask Basketball3846 A Question ]
BlueEyedBlondie725 answered Tuesday October 5 2004, 11:26 pm: She's going to get hurt if she really did like her. But, that's sweet that you care about her and don't want to hurt her. But, just tell her something like "I know it's been a year and I'm not trying to hurt you, that would be the last thing that I would want to do, so I'm trying real hard here, but I just think we would be better off as just friends. I mean I'm not going to just leave you like that, I want you to know, that I'm still here for you, I'll be you friend still, I just think it would be better as friends than a relationship..." Just say something like that. Something sweet and honest. Just break it to her easy. It was a year and it will be hard on her. Just tell her you'll still be there for her though, you'll be her friend, but there's just no more of the relationship anymore. I hope this helps and good luck hun. If you still need help, just post a message in my inbox.

AnGeLtHuGsTa answered Tuesday October 5 2004, 10:23 pm: Ouch. Sorry to say, but breaking up will always hurt someone, even if you don't want them to get hurt. That's real sweet though. You just have to be honest with her. Break up with her face to face, not over msn, aol, yahoo, or the phone. After a year of dating, are you sure you want to break up? Do you guys have something you don't agree on? If it's anything that can be fixed try working it out first. If you just don't have feelings anymore. Tell her the truth. The truth hurts sometimes, but it has to come out. Tell her you want to be friends? [ AnGeLtHuGsTa's advice column | Ask AnGeLtHuGsTa A Question ]
xluvinux answered Tuesday October 5 2004, 9:55 pm: first of all, how is that sad that you have been going out with someone for a year? i think that shows good commitment. are you sure you want to break up with her? think of the reasons why, and you be the judge of whether it's really worth giving her up. if you really feel you want to break up with her, say something like: "hey baby i dont think this is working, i think we should break up" no matter how you put it she will be upset, but you can try to put it as nicely as you can. i hope you make the right decision here.
