2) WHERE TO BREAK UP


DO NOT BREAK UP VIA EMAIL, TEXT, PHONE (its considered cowardly)


I read many articles advising people to do so at a bar, or a loud place. Seriously, how cruel can you be inviting someone to a restaurant or a bar only to break up with them? I would not advise it. ';drinks on me';, and it might literally be if you attempt it at such places. No matter how loud the place is, its nothing compared to how loud the dumpee can become. Save both of yourselves the embarrassment. My suggestion would be a more private area. A talk at an empty park, or beach is ideal (drive separately or have your own way of getting back home though). DO NOT RIDE TOGETHER! If raining or snowing outside, I recommend going over to their spot. This will make it easier to excuse yourself. Do not invite them over to your place! You will have a hard time getting them to leave.

3) APPEARANCE...


Remember before you two first went out on a date and it took you 2 hours to get ready? Well this would be the total opposite. When breaking up with someone, its considerate to look the part of a person who doesn't enjoy breaking the bad news. Don't get all dolled up or look as though you're ready to go out right after. That will only make the dumpee more upset that you're already moving on and out n about. While giving people the boot is cold blooded in itself you still need to be respectful of their feelings. If you can look your worse, do so.

4) WHAT TO SAY


First off, before you open a mouth full of pain, apologize. Its the best way to start off the conversation. It goes something like this, '; John/Jane, I wanted to tell you how I've been feeling lately about us. First off I would like to thank you for allowing me a moment in your life. Although we had many memorable moments, we also have differences which prevents me from allowing us to move forward. Lately I don't feel I'm 100%.Its not fair for you to be with someone like me who's not fully there. When I'm with someone I want to give that person my best and I'm sorry to tell you but I'm not at my best and I don't feel I'm that person. You deserve more and somewhere out there,that person is waiting for you to give you their best';.What is the nicest way to break up with someone?
Talk to him face-to-face, and in private. The sooner you do this the better, because you don't want to lead him on and let him get even more attached just because you're afraid of hurting him. That will only do more damage in the long run.





Breaking up is never easy, and if you care about the person, you never feel good about it. It's important to preserve his dignity and let him down simply. Just tell him that you care about him, but that you don't think that your relationship is working anymore. You can even say that you're sorry if you want. You don't have to say any more than that. You don't have to be his friend, and don't expect him to want to be yours after this is over.
Say ';Welcome to dumpsville, population you';





But in all honesty, do it fast. Be truthful, tell him that you just aren't ready or that the relationship just isn't working, whatever the truth is. And then stick to your guns, be strong. Don't go back, don't let him think there is a chance of getting back together, just do it like a band-aid. It'll be better for both of you in the long run.





If you have been together for 7 months and only gone out 4 times, it's probably not too serious.
Be kind. Whatever you do talk to him the way you would want to be treated. This is a delicate situation, but he should understand that you have priorities to deal with and being in a relationship would hinder that. Sometimes too many things in ones life can be overwhelming. If he asks what they are, and if he is willing to be there for you to conquer those challenges...then he is a keeper...deal with it, and you will be happy.
7 months! dats a long time, i wonder how come u never realized he wasnt for u before. well betta do it now b4 its 14 months. there is no nice way, and no matter how nicely u put it across its going 2 hurt. if i were u, i would just b straight-forward, sit him down n talk straight to the point, dat u enjoyed the courtship but have come 2 realize n understand dat u two arent meant to b together n dat its time u each go separate ways.
Try to be very calm and passive. Simply tell him that he is not the right fit person for you, and that he would be better off finding someone more interested in him. I can see why you wouldn't want to keep going out with him, 4 times in 7 months is tough O_o. And he can't love you if you've spent so little time together (I wouldn't bring it up in the conversation though).





Good Luck.
I think maybe you should send ';Cheaters'; [The show] xP, or maybe you should get down to business and sit with him and talk about how does it feel if i leave you. Love hurts! ): but If you love him/her they person is willing to let them go.
1. tell him you wanna break up with him.





2. call him you wanna breka up with him. (less effective than telling)





3. write a letter to split up.





4. do something to make him feel you dont like him
why u say dat u dont believe him?hmm is it u r having ur instincts that hes not being true?Well they say that womens instincts are mostly a hundred sure in some times so..better break up wit him. just tel him the truth. thats it :)
Face to face is always the best...Tell him that at this point in your life you don't want to have a boyfriend. Dont delay it...if you were in his shoes how would you like it being let on/txted 'your dumped'.





Good Luck. :)
Just tell him the truth, he'll get over it eventually.
you should tell him the truth,


if he loves you like he says, he'll just


want you to be happy.
do it face to face that is best way tell him you need to clear your head and in a mean time you can be friends
Call his mom and ask her to tell him that you don't want to be with him anymore.lol, works like a charm.
Over dinner.
okay (listen (his name) i dont think were working out , i think it time we should start seeing diffrent people i hope that doesnt spoil a friendship ,i';ll allways be here for you)


there! ;)
The best way is in person and just tell him that you want a break and just remain friends.
face to face ; wrap it up in 5 mins
Face to face is the best option, it will be hard but he respect you for it in the long run
A txt message


because i think it would be harder to do face to face:(
just do it the longer you take the harder it will be. there is no way to break up with out some hurt....
Give them money.





If my boyfriend gave my like a million dollars to compensate for the time wasted, I wouldn't care at all. Go ahead and break up with me
i think face to face is best..


good luck :)
its me its not you lol
Killing them in their sleep always helps. They never have to live without you
do it in person and say i think we need to takea break that should work
the best way is to be honest
