clearlypink428 answered Friday June 3 2005, 3:05 pm: just let him know why you dont want to goout anymore. trust me, there's realy nothing you can say that wont hurt his feelings, unless hes some noncaring jerk, which i doubt he is. if he wants to still be friends, then kudos- if he doesnt, then shame on him. hope i helped.

LiLReBeL6907 answered Thursday June 2 2005, 1:53 pm: Alright, I've been there and done that so I hope my advice helps. Well it mostly depends on how long you guys have been together. The longer the worse it will be. Just be sincere and kind about it and don't make it sound like it's his fault you guys are breaking up, because that will make him feel even worse about the break up. Depending on how you want to break up, I've always been the kind of person that likes to break up in person, because I think the phone, email, or IM is way too inpersonal. But that mostly depends on how long you have been going out with him. If it was a long relationship, I think meeting in person is alot better. But if that idea makes you uneasy, the next best thing is telling him over the phone. This is probably a better option, because if breaking up with someone makes you really nervous, you can write down the main things you are going to say to him, that way when you are breaking up with him over the phone you won't forget what you were going to say. Say something like this, "(His name), this is really hard for me to do. I really care about you and I always will. And I'm hoping after everything we can still be able to talk to eachother and maybe even be friends. But that is all up to you. I've been thinking about this upcoming summer, and the fact that we aren't going to be able to see eachother at all, and it really bothers me. I'm afraid that during that time we are going to grow apart and we won't be as close as we used to. And that would really hurt me. I think it would be easier for both of us if we just weren't together." I hope my advice helps you. Just think about what you are going to say ahead of time, that way when you say it you will be calm, and less nervous. Breaking up with someone is really hard, so hopefully it works out okay for you and him. Good luck! ~Sherah [ LiLReBeL6907's advice column | Ask LiLReBeL6907 A Question ]
emilydastrange14 answered Thursday June 2 2005, 11:47 am: Tell him exactly what you said up there! Say summers coming up and this is not gona work out for whatever the reason is, is that you wont be able to see him. If it feels right then dont feel thta bad about hurting him, things happen for a reason. Just tell him the truth and dont lie to him. Also try not to start a fight because that would be bad! So just say it straight forward. Good luck [ emilydastrange14's advice column | Ask emilydastrange14 A Question ]
xXtashmahottieOo answered Wednesday June 1 2005, 7:40 pm: Tell him exactly that. You should say "heyy I ithnk we need to take a break because I wont see you at alot during the summer and I dont want you to have to worry about me or visa versa.." or something im sure he feels the same way and it'll all work out fr the better. Hope I helped xox mwaa <3 diane [ xXtashmahottieOo's advice column | Ask xXtashmahottieOo A Question ]

MelissaL1832 answered Wednesday June 1 2005, 5:34 pm: well...let him know how you feel. Make it seem like its better off for him....say that since you wont see each other that much you dont want to keep him tied up and that u think its best to break up. And tell him that maybe you guys can give it another hooraah when school starts up again [ MelissaL1832's advice column | Ask MelissaL1832 A Question ]
Teza answered Wednesday June 1 2005, 5:15 pm: When you break up with him PLEASE dont say I dont think its working out but I still want to be friends. It never works out that way at all! Honestly. Tell him exacly why you are breaking up with him. You really dont need to make up any exuses. He will defenetly understand. If you guys had a good relationship you will stay friends tho so dont worry about that. When you break up say hi to him still and everything and keep in touch. Good luck babe!

Draak answered Wednesday June 1 2005, 4:44 pm: Just be upfront and honest about it. Tell him since summer is coming up and that you won't be seeing him that you think a break would be in order and not because you dont like him anymore. Explain that you want to remain friends and that when school starts back up you will re-evalute your feelings.
