Answer 1

Easy, just introduce him to someone better than you.

Answer 2

Be honest and to the point! Don't go into a big story or explanation, guys don't need to talk things out like we do. Don't make stupid excuses, he'll see right through that. Don't say you still want to be friends. If he wants to be friends after a period of time, he'll let you know. Trying to maintain a friendship after trying a romantic relationship is not kind, and it's not fair. Chances are that he's going to hope you change your mind. Which leads to the last part, if you are sure it's over, don't give him any false hope. It is mean. Other than that, be polite, don't swear, and don't plan to do something together after wards. It will be uncomfortable. Also, don't wait until the end of a date to tell him. That's tacky!

Answer 3

If you two are involved in a relationship- feelings will be hurt regardless how you ease out of it. First acknowledge that it may hurt his feelings but you have to break the relationship. Be honest with him and let him know why the two of you did not work out. Let him know that you understand that he may feel hurt but you hope that the things he learns from this relationship will help him find someone that will fill his needs better. You can always close it by saying that you will still want to remain friends but need space first. Loss is never easy especially in relationships!

Answer 4

I don't know but I feel the same way, even though I can give you this advice I cannot carry it out myself. You just got to be straight up and got to do what is best for you, there is no need in wasting time of your life by being in a situation you don't want to be in. I have been warning my boyfriend that he need to do more to make me happy but I think he takes it for granted. My nerves are constantly building up, and when I am ready I am gonna let him know that I gave him a chance but it is just not working and I will be woman enough to tell him exactly how I feel. You gotta do what you gotta do for you and nobody else. Stay up girl!

Answer 5

Tell him, you will hurt his feelings but you can't stay in a relationship if you are not happy. It is the best thing for both of you in the end.
It is said that it is more stressful to do the breaking up . Keep in mind that you both will be happier so tell him that you are breaking up with him but do it kindly.
Talk to him , tell him you need some space and you think that you both need to see other people. Tell him you are not happy. Never know , he may feel the same way
Good luck

Answer 6

Their is no easy way however their is a smart way and that is being totally 100% honest about why you want to break up. Do not beat around the bush. Come out with it. Make sure your very polite and don't be scared. In the end he will respect your honesty unless he is a psycho stalker.

Answer 7

Well don't say i think that we should take some time apart because he would think that you would get back together. and I wouldn't go with i think we should date other people. Just say i'm sorry but I just don't feel the same way about you any more and things just aren't working out i am REALLY sorry!
Good Luck

Answer 8

You can never break up with someone without hurting there feelings but think of it this way do you want to spend all your time with someone you don't want to be with cuz your scared you'll make them sad, be honest, tell them exactly how you feel, don't come up with lame excuses, just say you don't think it feels right and you wan't to stay friends or if you don't that it just doesn't feel right to you, be honest, everyone gets hurt sometimes but when your dishonest and try to fid other ways to break up with people you won't like yourself later on and they won't like you even more than if you were jsut honest

Answer 9

What you do is you walk into his home and start throwing things around, breaking things while screaming at the top of you lungs, "You cheated! you little bastard, if cheated on me!". just make up something or just keep repeating that without letting him have a word in and tell him you never wanna see him again. then when he calls or you do run into him, just act as if you are having flash backs and start screaming and running in circles.
he'll never wanna see you again. especially if you do this at a public place, event, such as the mall or a concert.

Answer 10

I know it might sound cliche,but honesty is the best policy,better now then later,if you were friends before it could be sensitive but prolonging it wont make it better for either concerned,if its a friendship try to salvage it now,before it goes to far,if not still end it tactfully but end it! trust me you'll both be better in the end,good luck,iv'e been on both sides no matter it's not easy,but you know whats right if not you wouldnt be asking,,in your corner,good luck and be strong ,nitehawk0660akalovechild

Answer 11

If you still like him and you think your bf/gf relationship isn't working well, tell him that you still like him but want to be friends. Being friends is good so that you two can still be with each and see each other, so on. This makes it easier on you and your bf and he wouldn't feel bad all that much. He might understand that the relationship isn't working well and still want to be friends.
