How do you break up in a nice way?

Question - (10 June 2010) 4 Answers - (Newest, 10 June 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 26-29, anonymous writes:

So, how to dump a guy nicely? What exactly should I say? I know that texting and e-mailing is such a cowardly thing to do, but I won't be able to look him straight in the eyes if I were to tell him person to person. This will break both of our hearts, and it will affect him the most-but seriously, what should I say? I also want to stay friends with him...

So, how did I do it? Thanks x

Forget the friends thing for now. The first, most important thing is that you end it. Friends with ex's is very hard to pull off. There is no easy way to do it, so go out with him to a public place, have yourself a friend ready nearby so you don't bottle it, and then just tell him that he's a lovely guy but you're not read to be committed.. Get it over and done with calmly and quickly.

raiders agony auntprivately tell him that you love him a lot but as a friends...That you gave it a try but don't feel the same for him and would like to continue being friends.

Which ever way you do it remember not to be harsh and take in consideration his feelings. Don't stay with him because you feel bad in breaking up since this will created more problems. And I have to agree with the others don't expect him to continue being your freind.

The words you use should be yours sweetheart, but, as TimmD said do the way you would want it done to you, don't do it in a public place, don't drag it out, it needs to be done so do it. Don't expect to be friends either, you might be able to manage it but don't push it on him straight away. Oh and don't do the it's not you it's me that's just a cop out,
