But a really bad way is through a note.
Or over the internet.
Make it as sincere as possible.
And do it soon. Don't put it off.
It's terrible to know that you've been with someone, thinking they really liked you, and then realizing that they had been wanting to break up with you for quite some time. My boyfriend did that to me. It hurt more than it had to. He made it even more difficult for us to be friends. And he lost my trust because our relationship had been a lie for weeks.
But anyway, enough about me..
Be the one to start the conversation. Just say it. Say you need to be honest about something and then...ya.
Don't have some nice conversation before you do it. 'Cause that would be like "Hey, I like your shirt. where'd you buy that? by the way...i want to break up..." And if that did happen, then I would hope it wouldn't be much like that example.
Breaking up his hard to do. But you just have to do it. [ chlorofume's advice column | Ask chlorofume A Question ]
happybabe2 answered Thursday June 14 2007, 7:02 pm: ok well if you don't like him anymore then you have to break up with him. its not fair to him. would you want someone to continue going out with you if they didn't even like you?? so i think you shoudl do it in person. i think you at least owe him that. don;t be cruel about it either just say something like i just don;t like you anymore and i think we should just be friends. if he gets really mad and stuff and starts cursing or whatever then let him get his anger out but don't let him attack you ha. but you really have to break up with him
hope i helped! good luck

xomaureenox16 answered Thursday June 14 2007, 6:35 pm: Tell him how you honestly feel. Explain that you dont want to hurt or affend him, but its simply not working out. Say that you would like to be friends. Maybe a little more than friends, but not in a girlfriend/boyfriend way. Express how sorry you are. Say it in a gentle tone and not too harshly. Best of luck!!

taelatte07 answered Thursday June 14 2007, 6:02 pm: well you could either call him on the phone or write him a note saying to meet you in the park because you two need to have a serious talk. when he gets there sit him down and be like the time we've been together has been great and you are a really great guy but i don't have feelings for you anymore i only see you as a friend. i don't want you to be my boyfriend anymore i want you to be my friend. and if he doesn't want to be just your friend that's ok because there's not much you can do about that. but if he's willing to try and be your friend your friendship will be a great one [ taelatte07's advice column | Ask taelatte07 A Question ]
