Say it nice. Just say you wanna be friends. It would be meaner to stay with her wen you dnt really like her.

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

you really have a problem... well just talk to her and tell her that you think that ya'll should just be friends and that you still want to be her friend because things are not goin so good for you and and her, then just talk to her little by little each day and then she well get the point and just stop talkin to you

Well theres no way to not hurt her feelings but just tell her that you still want to be friends and you hope it wont effect your friendship. If she really cares about you, she should be understanding.

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.

xoxo Kourtney

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?

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.
