I think that the best way to break up with him ... is juast to tell him that you do not hate him ... and that he is handsome and any girl would like him ... but he is not the one that you can live with him .... ( just face him ) do not be affraid and say it.

If you are shy ... and can not face him ... just do not answer his phone ... and stop contacting him ... by time he will understand it ... because those who are away from eyes .. away from hearts.

hope that I helped you.

It's never easy honey, but it's best if you just get him alone and talk to him. Gently explain why you're breaking up with him, and (if you want) offer to still be good friends because you like him a lot as a friend. Try not to be harsh, break up with him like you would like to be broken up with.

Tremor agony auntBreaking up is always tough to do. You don't want to hurt the other person, and they feel rubbish becase they got dumped... all in all, an unpleasant activity, so I feel for you.

The least painful way do it would be to get your boyfriend alone, somewhere quiet - perhaps a cafe or something. Don't do it at either one of your houses.

Gently explain to him why you don't feel the relationship is working, and let him know that you don't want to continue with it. Don't drag it out. Make it /clear/ that you are breaking up with him so he doesn't get the wrong idea (none of this 'we should take a break...' business), but at the same time, have a little respect for his feelings.

Generally, something along the lines of 'I think it would be best to end this', 'I don't think we should see each other anymore' or 'I think it's time we broke up' will get the message across.

Good luck to you.
