I've been trying to break it off with someone, but there never seems to be a good time to do it, because of phone calls, work...(part of the reason I want to call if off). Is sending an email OK?

I am pretty sure they have been purposely creating obstacles so that we cannot have "the talk". I've tried folks, I really have.

If it is impossible to reach them any other way I would send an email. But I think it's best to break up in person.
If you think that peron is awful and is purposefully ignoring you I would just send an email. My boyfriend had lied to me about being married and led me on for five months. I tried calling him for several days to break up or to come by but something always came up and I just felt like he was playing games with me. I had had enough and I just left him a text message. It was miserable waiting for him to respond to me, so I ended it through a text message.

Depends on the situation. If you feel that the person may become violent when you break up with them, then you are within your rights to end the relationship that way. Let's face it . . . half of all domestic violence incidents are committed against men at the hands of women, and mostly for non-self-defense reasons..
On the other hand, if there is not a reason to fear a violent reaction from her, then breaking up in person is the way to go. Tough enough to break up, and doing it by phone will make you look like a bad guy, no matter what the reason for ending the relationship.

No its never going to be right to use e-mail
You got you into this now you must make the time for a face to face and get it done. You cannot be that busy that you cant stop for a cup of coffee or something and tell her to meet you there. Do it in a public place, to limit the histrionics and make it short and sweet. Then turn and walk away and don't look back ever.

No it's not okay. I think you know that and it's why your asking, because your hoping to justify it.
Call her or email her and set up a meeting face to face if you've been dating for more than 3 months. If less than 3 months then you can do it by phone.

well its a start why dont you try this send her an email and tell her you want to meet her for lunch or dinner and then break the news to her make it like a good-bye dinner but she will always have a special place in your heart thing but it just aint working out. she will be hurt but its letting her down easy. good luck.

sending an email is not the answer you should just pluck up the courage and meet them and say it to their face that you want to finish with them and give them a honest reason as to why... you have more of a chance to saty friends after , but if you do it over email thats just low and no one desrves that...

it just shows your respect towards the person. .. if you want to maintain even some sort of a friendship with the person then do it in person. otherwise, if you dont care about that they migh start hating you, you can do it via email as well.. i did it once when i really couldnt stand the person.

NO! That is just taking the easy route. If you want to break up you need to be brave and do it in person. Force time into your schedule to get with this person. Tell them you HAVE to talk to them and soon so could they please clear a time in their schedule for you.

It's un-personal but it is better than just moving on and assuming they get the picture. Maybe try via webcam.
