Oh my gosh. You're breaking up with me? You're asking on Yahoo Answers how to do it? I want my Relient K CD's back.
I also want visitation with Rover, the dog I gave you. Oh the NERVE! I'm so distraught! I'd say, break up with me the old fashioned way... make my dad mad so he'll make us break up.

That really depends on how long you've been seeing eachother and if it's a long distance romance. Also, how you feel about her or the possibilities of running into her or her friends again would determine things.
If you don't care about her at all, if you will never have to face any of her friends... then email is obviously the easiest (though really rude). I would really try phone, atleast.
Also phone is best if it's long distance.
If you care about her, or if there would be social repurcussions of a bad breakup (like running into her friends, a small town, etc), then take her out to coffee and do the best you can. Compliment her and tell her that it's because of YOU. Give her reasons why YOU are wrong, and you need to grow up, etcetera...
In any case, it helps to write down your answers for breaking up. Have some that she can't argue with!
Especially if you care about her, try to do this like a pursuasive paper or speech... and that way you'll have all your points down and hopefully at the end of everything you can still remain friends (or it won't be so awkward running into her friends).
Maybe she's wanting to break up with you too, but doesn't know how to do it either (this has happened to me a few times).
good luck!

There is no right method in breaking up with someone. All you have to do is to be honest with the person by telling you are not happy in the relationship anymore and you want to move on, that's simple.

Be honest and don't beat around about it so that she gets the idea that you are not sure what you want. This girl kept calling and one day told my friends he is so arrogant and mean to me.
I told her, No I wasn't I am looking for a long term relationship and your to flirty with all the guys and make me nervous and I found out I am happier when I go home alone than when I am with you.
That isn't something I want for the rest of my life.
I want someone I enjoy being with. Never say anything about their looks. Like you got to fat or I prefer blonds.
Don't put them down just say, your not what I want in a relationship. She will get mad and cuss you out but she gets the message. Never leave them hanging. You go out on this great date with a girl you really do like. She shows up and says what in the hell are you doing you two timer. Major embarrassement.

Iv'e been thinking....and I don't think it's working...I don't want to spend the next 30 years wishing I'd left earlier - we're just not really compatible and i think we would both be better off with other people. I don't want to be with you, looking for someone else - so I'm going to leave now, even if it means being single for a while...

Honesty. Tell the person why you don't want to be with them anymore. Mostly say...I'm just not ready right now to be in a relationship.

Strait out.
If you cheat or lie[[>>;;]] It'll only make it worse, you can ease them down, like explain why you want to first, then drop it, but it's teh best way.
Also, in person, if you will, non-of this crap over the phone or in writing.
No person needs that.

When i do it i always hug them and tell them it'd be best if i we were just friends. If she breaks down or something beat up on yourself. I kinda works.

Be honest with them and tell them in person how you feel. NEVER EVER EVER BREAK UP WITH SOMEONE THROUGH EMAILS, TEXT MESSAGES, OR PHONE CALLS.
