How do you break up with someone without hurting them?

He just isn't my type,


He's kind of wierd %26amp; pisses me off with his offensive jokes sometimes.


%26amp; I kind of like someone else.


I want to end it,


we were good friends before we dated,


%26amp; I still want to be friends when it's over.


How do I break up with him without hurting him?


Please help.


Thanks,

Well I feel it's only natural to have some sympathy for this guy knowing your feelings.





You describing him as weird may explain why he's saying offensive jokes, sometimes when someone is nervous they may insult you like they would a regular guy friend to feel more comfortable. But if I'm still wrong in that case there is no way to end a relationship without hurt because to get into one there are certain feelings that are being supported out of the ordinary friendship.





If you really do care about his feelings then you should tell him the things he does that you don't like and from his response you can decide if you really do want to break up with him or not.





If you've already absolutely decided you want to remain friends with him tell him that you feel like you've lost the part of him you liked most which was maintained through a form of friendship only. It could be confusing, and yes sad but a plea for the need of independence is usually always respectable by any caring partner.





Simply put, don't say something you don't mean and then contradict your sympathy rich words by asking the other guy you like out right away. That most definitely will make you a ***** and possibly ruin your friendship.How do you break up with someone without hurting them?
hell be hurt at least a lil, but you can still be friends it just depends on the guy


my EX cheated on me and im still friends so it can work

To be honest he's probably going to get hurt anyways. Just tell him that you had more fun with him as a friend and that you don't feel like its working in the other sense.
all i say is tell it to him straight there really isnt a way of telling someone that and not hurting their feeligns. just say im sorry but the relationship isnt really working out is it ok if we can just be friends?





thats the best way i'd put it :) oh and tell it to him face to face nothing is worse than a call or text saying lets break up ok?


and if your nervous, take some deep creaths and say can i have a word with you alone or something like that
