How do you break up with someone?

One of my friends has been going out with this guy for about 3 months now. From what I can tell, it's been an awkward relationship from the beginning. As in, they don't really talk or hang out much. Lately, my friend has been feeling like this whole thing is pointless, and asked me and some other friends what to say to break up with someone without hurting them. Any ideas on something good to say?How do you break up with someone?
Get alone with him. Don't do this on the phone!Relax. She will be doing the right thing...he needs to know the truth.


Tell him that you feel this relationship on its current level needs to end..Give him some time to let it sink in..If he tries to convince you to give him another chance, listen to him. Tell him that you've made up your mind. Tell him at what level you would like to keep your relationship (acquaintences, never-seens, friends, etc).Listen to his response. Respect his feelings about this new level.


Let him go when he feels he needs to end the conversation.Be honest. Although breakups can be really hard on relationships, honesty will salvage any possible future friendship.When you've realized that you are no longer interested in this person, let him know. Don't drag out a pointless relationship.Look at this like taking off a band-aid. Would you rather do it fast or slow? Which one hurts more?How do you break up with someone?
here's what i say.


[hey, can we talk? well you know i love you but i really dont think its gonna work out. can we just stay good friends? i will still love you but as a great/good friend.]





the whole story thing is harsh. wow. this is going on with me for 8 months. but i still love him. and now we get to talk and hang out. the problem was my friends were all up in his face telling him never to break up with me. and that hurt me. so i talked to my friends bout it and they sed they'll lay off for a while. it worked. im with him to this very day. =)
They will be hurt no matter what. Just have her tell him that she no longer feels the relationship is working. Face to face not in a note,online, by text, or email. The truth shall set her free.
its over.


moron.
