No matter what you say they will be hurt. Just tell them the truth. It's always worse when they lie to spare feelings.
Tell the person, I'm sorry, but we have to end our relationship, I don't want to hurt you, but I think you should know why, I am breaking up with you because "...".

WhetheR you do it nicely oR not.. he'll be huRt no matteR WHAT you say, so just be honest, and be polite. Just tell him that love is RecipRocal, it's not just one-sided. Relationships RequiRe 130% effoRt fRom *BOTH* paRtneRs in odeR to suRvive. Put it like this: what's the point in giving youR heaRt away to someone who isn't willing to give you theiRs? Just tell him that you caRe foR him, you just don't have the feelings he has foR you in RetuRn so continuing this would simply be unfaiR... He'll undeRstand that it's foR the best.
Goodluck to you! :)

Explain the reason why you want to break up, in your own words but NEVER use lines..

for example: its not you its me
I think we should just be friends
I love you, I'm just not IN love with you

haha those are horrible!!! well hope I helped and good luck &hearts

well give them a reason why first "you havent called me for over a month" then give them time to explain it "sorry babe i really didnt have time blah blah blah" then say, "how about we give it a break an see how it goes then if we still care about each other we will get back together" hope this helps! <3

Okay... well just please dont use the " I sitll want to stay friends" break up line. It usually never happens! Let the person know exacly why you are breaking up with them and since its summer you just dont want to end up doing anything stupid that would hurt them. Say I just think that we should date other people but we could still be friends if you want. Just keep talking to them and stuff! &hearts;//
