How to break up with someone?

Ok, so my best friend who's a guy is going out with this girl. They've been going out for almost a year now, but he doesn't feel for her at all in that way. He never did. Their parents are close friends so it was kinda a forced relationship.


He's finally gotten sick of it, and now he wants to know how he should break up with her without hurting her. He's not even sure if she cares for him either...they never communicate past small talk. Like I said, it's a crappy relationship. Detailed help please? He REALLY doesn't want to hurt her.How to break up with someone?
Honesty is the best policy. He could try sitting her down and explaining to her that he cares for her but in a friend like way and that he'd prefer for them to be friends instead of boyfriend and girlfriend.How to break up with someone?
he can say i do like you but in just a friend kinnda way or like a sister not in a romantic sense and im telling you this bc you should be with someone that does want to be with all the time and thAT REALLY LIKES YOU HOPE I HELPED
Well, if he thinks she doesn't care for him, then he shouldn't have any problem breaking up with her.
Gia is right, honesty is the best policy. It's the two of them that is going through the relationship, not the parents. If your friend and the gf do not want to be in the relationship, I think the two of them should talk together first, to make sure that they are on the same page about the current condition of the relationship and where they want to go with it.





After that, they need to sit down with their parents, maybe all together, to explain that although they understand the parent's intention (the parents are doing this because they care, and they think its the best for your friend and the gf) but they do not feel that it is right for them, and they are not happy.





They are only dating now, and it is not too late to end things, if that's what they both really want. Good luck!
