Breaking up.


Question Posted Tuesday June 13 2006, 8:10 pm

Okay, so I have the boyfriend, he's not the best. & I want to break up with him. Another reason why it because it's almost summer, I want to be free for summer, and maybe date some other people.

The only problem is, HOW? I mean, I'm not the type that does it herself, right in front of everyone in the hallway. But I also don't want to be the one that has to ask her friend to tell him for me. I don't think I can do it in 3 days before school ends, So it's going to have to be over the phone.

I just do want to break him down emotionally. I want to let him down easy, but either way he might be in tears. I don't want to make him sad, but I know that I have to break up with him. It's going to be so awkward. Please help.

Thanks in advance.

i just broke up with this kidd who was really shy and i know how you feel. okk. my advice would be if you can...write him a note and say basically that you want to be friends. thats what i did. that way they wont be crying...and if your not a note kinda person. call him and just say..."heyy, i think we'd be better off as friends. i had a good time going out with you but its summer and i dont want to feel guilty if i flirt." lol i hope that helps

First, don't do it over the phone or at school. Call him and ask him if he can meet you at your house, or somewhere else to talk. Start a casual conversation, and if he doesn't ask "what did you want to talk about" then bring it up, try, "So, I wanted to talk to you about someting...okay i don't know how to put this.. but i want to break up." The sooner you get it out in the open the better, try not to beat around the bush about it.!. If he asks questions, it might be better to just be honest with him and say it wasn't working out and it didn't make you happy.

you have 3 days, so you can do it face to face, dont take the cowards way out and do it over the phone, ive had that done to me once and it was awful, so do it face to face.
just get him alone, and sit down with him and gently tell him that your feelings have changed and that you think it's best to break up with him because you dont want to pretend everythings ok when its not.
over the phone is so harsh, so do it your self, alone and in person.

Well you seem pretty cocky. He might be in tears. Dont think so highly of yourself... it kinda leaves people with a bad taste in their mouth.

Let him know that it's not working and you want to date other people during the summer. That you dont want to cheat on him because you found someone else.

And doing it on the phone is the worst thing you could do. Stay after and do it, or do it outside when there arent a lot of people around. But on the phone shows thats your inconsiderate... would you like being dumped on the phone?

Well you have to do it yourself, if you have anyone else do it, thats just cruel.
Dont email him it, dont call him on the phone, or IM him. Do it face to face, and tell him why.
Tell him what you wrote up there, about wanting to be single for the summer, to meet new people.

okay though listen, he's going to be upset either way, so just do it and get it over with before you lead him on.



Theres no way to not hurt his feelings, so its best if you break up with him, he'll get over you. I mean who knows? Maybe he wants to be single for the summer too?

You never know!

Sit him aside and tell him '[name], we have to talk. You see, I don't think that we're made for each other. I want to see other people, and I don't want to pursue this relationship any further'.
