I've always used a note to break up with someone because I'm shy and when I break up with my boyfriends, I wouldn't be able to look them in their face or be able to talk because I'd be so nervous. So my question is: What's the best way to break up with a guy? You know, like note, phone, in person, online?
SxyLilPoo47 answered Sunday June 19 2005, 11:58 am: I'd say...
In person because if yooh do it any uthr way than youll feel more guilty when yooh see him the next day or whenever you do but if u do it right then and there then it should go wellthen you can continue your day another way to help yooh not to feel guilty is to say at the end I really hope we can still be friends...
xOtWiXi answered Sunday June 19 2005, 1:30 am: I`m going to be completely honest with you. Whenever someone tells me something online that I know they wouldn`t tell me to my face, I get a little bit annoyed in the fact that they weren`t mature enough to just tell me, no offense. Don`t be nervous - EVERYONE goes through breakups. Tell them the truth and just break it to them nicely =] If you need anymore advice, feel free to message me. Hope I`ve Helped ♥ [ xOtWiXi's advice column | Ask xOtWiXi A Question ]
SoInToYoUx0x answered Saturday June 18 2005, 10:20 pm: i think face to face is better. take your boyfriend to a place where he and you can talk aone and tell him how you feel. yea it might be hard but you need to face your fear and do it. hope this helps you out.

xGAWSHNESSx answered Saturday June 18 2005, 5:12 pm: The thing wiht breaking up with ppl through notes is that they'll always have it to remember you brekaing up wiht them with or they could show it to some one or somehting... and plus, most guys really don't like when girls break up with them that way. I think the best way to break up with a guy is in person. Go up to them and ask to talk to them alone for a minite tell them how you feel, that you think it'd be better if you broke up, why you think that, and add in little things on your own. I dont think it's a good idea to say, 'i just want to be friends'. Guys do not think thats a good reason at all...I learned that the hard way. On the phone isnt the best way either because it'd be akward afterward. Like after you broke up with them what're you going to say? Who's gonna hang up first? But if you wanted to break up that way you could end with 'I'll see ya tomorrow' or something. And same thing with doing it online. Oh, and another way to do it is write them a note saying the reasons why you want to break up with an apology or w/e u want it to say and then break up with them IN PERSON and after you do that you hand them the note.
Sry my reply was so long, hope it was helpful in some way... good luck!

chinasweetie answered Saturday June 18 2005, 3:32 pm: I would probably say in person be cause then they can see your facial expressions and know your telling the truth so they don't get hurt too bad. Never online though because it is just writing and they can say that it wasn't you. The phone is ok but go there if you can't do it in person [ chinasweetie's advice column | Ask chinasweetie A Question ]
Babyphat1204 answered Saturday June 18 2005, 2:21 pm: Dear Break Ups,
I would prefer on the phone so you would get used to talkin to that person in public and on the phone because I used to do the same thing because i was afaid to talk to boys and i would send notes but that is showin the boy that you a punk and a baby [ Babyphat1204's advice column | Ask Babyphat1204 A Question ]
HyperactiveMiss answered Saturday June 18 2005, 1:15 pm: It's okay to be shy...by doing this you'll gain more confidence. I think you know the answer to your question...it's best to do it in person. You could send him a note telling him to meet you somewhere and you there you can explain to him what's been going on and break up with him. If you're afraid you won't be able to say much when he meets up with you, write a letter. Don't just give him the letter and run away. Tell him to listen to your letter and read it to him. That way you guys can talk afterwards and it won't be awkward. You don't have to look into his eyes the whole time...just glance sometimes. And if you're THAT nervous you can look at his nose or something. lol. Good luck! [ HyperactiveMiss's advice column | Ask HyperactiveMiss A Question ]

luv2swim109 answered Saturday June 18 2005, 1:08 pm: probobly on the phone is the best choice if you you are too nervous to do it in person. online and in a note arnt the best choices at all.
OrangeChikn answered Saturday June 18 2005, 1:06 pm: I'd think note. Online is way too easy, and can be deemed coward-like. At least with a note, you have to hand it to him.
DeeSireDiOr answered Saturday June 18 2005, 1:04 pm: Hey sweetheart
ahhh i know just how you feel. I am always shy around the boys i really like and when i want to break up with someone i feel very uncomfortable!
But Honestly the best way to do it is face to face. maybe you should try getting over your fear.
whatever you do dont break up with him online! Thats a no, no! Its just disrespectful and just a really messed up thing to do. But i guess in your case the best way is to write him a letter telling him how you feel. Also add that your sorry that you couldnt say it to him in person. But explain why so he understands you.
cheerchickof2010 answered Saturday June 18 2005, 12:40 pm: I know how you feel! I have had to break up with a guy before and i know that its hard to do! But the BEST way to do it is to break up with him to his face because he might think that the note is a joke or something! One time i wrote my boyfriend a note telling him that we needed to break up and he thought that it was all a joke! And he thought that until i told him to his face! So thats what i think needs to be done!
