How to you break up with someone with out hurting them?

how do you break up with someone with out hurting them. And try to stay friends !How to you break up with someone with out hurting them?
i think you should be asking what it would do to you...How to you break up with someone with out hurting them?
You can't, the person who doesn't want to break up, ALWAYS gets hurt. You can't stay friends unless the person broke up with wants too. Which they never do...
it will hurt them no matter what unless they feel the same way. but i mean friends will have to happen in time.
its most definitly going to hurt no matter what.. its how you do it that determines the length of time it will hurt and whether or not you can remain friends, and of course your reasoning.
I don't know about the not hurting them part, but all you can do is be as honest as to why... and go from there
maybe get them to try and break up with you


e.g annoy them so much that they break up with you.


however, if your he/she still loves you then it will be hard to.


If you do break up with he/she, wait a while before you ask them to be your friend again.
It is kind of hard to break up with someone without hurting their feelings. The best thing is to be honest. It is going to hurt them more in the long wrong if you prolong it. tell them that you think that they are a wonderful person but that it is just not going to work. they will appreciate your honesty later on.
you dont
What you might mean is ';with the least amount of pain';. Unless the person wants to break up with you too, its impossible to not cause pain.





Let that person down slowly, but get to the point right away. No need to drag it on and on. Offer your friendship, and don't try to force the friendship when that person wants space (because they will need time to grieve).
you dont
i don't really think that it is possible, and even if you do it nicely, i don't think you can still be friends!


sorry
eventually break-ups hurts,you can try to stay friends,but -not possible-
not possible
Not possible....the only way you wont hurt them is if they want to break up with you too lol...and staying friends is pretty hard
There is no easy way to break up with someone unless you have a mutual understanding on why both of you shouldn't be together. Explain why its not working and just let it be for what it was. As far as staying friends that may not happen for while. Let them heal first and maybe then a friendship will work sometimes the problem is that when you try to be friends one person may hold false expectations that you may get back together. Your call but its not going to be easy. Good luck!
You have zero control over whether or not they choose to feel pain...and if it doesn't hurt at all, then they didn't really care about you anyway (so why were you dating?)





You just do it as gently as you can (the way you'd want it done to you) and they'll handle it the way they see fit. In time, their heart will heal and perhaps a friendship will be possible. Just tell them you two aren't a good match romantically, but you'd like to maintain a friendship if they feel the same way.
Just do it and talk about how thing been going.There no easy way to break up with a person without hurting them.
It's not easy to break up with someone without hurting him/her. I have doubts about staying friends.
Say,





Well, I'm sorry. I thought we were good for each other, but apparently not. I'll see you around and hopefully we can be friends! -Smile-





Best answer pleas.e
You cant...
If the other person likes ya and they obviously do considering they were with you then it will hurt them anyyway but it isnt fair string'n them on so your better just be up front and honest with them! Try explaining why you dont wana stay with them anymore in a nice way of course!
Well, If the other person reallly likes you in a bf/gf way, you cant really be friends.
It cannot be done. The best that can be done is make it less painful. You cannot have it both ways, hurting by breaking up and not being truthful giving the impression that it might be better in the future. Take your medicine.
If that person really like you then its impossiable to not hurt there feelins.


BUT you can just talk to them and say that you think yall are better off bein friends, its better to let them know then have them think that everythin is wonderful
you can't.Unless they are waiting for you to dump them
make them break u p with you
Hurt is a requirement for a good break up usually.





Like ripping off a band aid. Be forceful, state your position. Take a few weeks off from each other.





Then go back and ask if friendship is possible.





Good luck.
You cant! Of course it will hurt. The best thing to do is do it in a very respectful and kind way. Do it in person, be kind, direct and totally honest. Don't say crap like ';its not you its me...'; tell them why its not working, that you think that they are a great person, but that the two of you are just not ment to be. Then leave. Don't hang out with the person and hug them and try to make them feel better, that will just prolong their pain.


Good Luck!


PS


You cannot be friends with an ex right away. As long as they have any feelings toward you it is cruel to be friends. You can be friends after time, but you have to wait until neither party has any feelings to each other. Otherwise it is just a lie and could give false hope.
you can't, just be honest with them.
What your asking is nearly impossible. And why would you want to remain friends? I'm kind of speaking out of turn because I'm friends with my ex-wife but that's because we're weird...
