i'm going to break it off with a friend in the next couple of days, and i'm wondering how i should go about it. i'm not looking to simply sever ties with this person, but the idea of an active friendship with them- calling each other, hanging out when possible- seems to be what i want to back away from for several reasons. i would love for them to convince me it's not a good idea, and i'm not 100% sure i want to be doing this, but i think i'm going to...how should i approach it, or should i ponder it more, or what?

I have to ask a few questions first. Do you really know what you want to do? Your wanting this person to beg for your friendship? Does that make you a good friend? Would you want to beg someone to be their friend, I doubt it. I have found it best to be honest with the person. For whatever reason of ending a friendship they usually will understand and still be civil.

You want to end a friendship & :
at the same time hope they will convince you that ending the friendship is not a good idea? or,
that continuing the friendship is not a good idea?
Either way, you might want to consider the following ...
