How can I tell a women friend that I want to end our relationship?

Question

And stay on amicable / frendly trems.

I have decided she is not the one for me. Plus our relationship is going nowhere.

Answer 1

You can't guarantee it will stay amicable, however much you might want to remain friends. Though it's still better to end it now, in as nice a way as possible, rather than dragging it out waiting for the 'right time', the right time will never come so just get it over with....

Answer 2

Why do you need to remain friends? How insecure are you? Tell her the truth and be a man about the way you feel. I'm not a macho guy and understand that comes off as me sounding like a beer drinking chain smoking man. I do understand the dynamics of a relationship between a man and a woman. You are going to tell a woman she is not good enough for you. You want to come off as a good guy. Think about this from her point of view. She's a great girl and you want to be friends, but she's not all that great. Unless you are on Beverly Hills 90210 or Saved by the Bell she's going to dislike you for quite some time. The best thing you can do is be upfront and honest and perhaps with time you will build a friendship again. Godspeed.

Answer 3

Tell her, respectfully and don't say..."it's not you, it's me." Tell her that you are more interested in being friends than bf & gf. Answer any questions, within reason, that may bring ease to her mind. Be honest. We don't like to feel it's pain , but we like to know the truth. If she gets upset, let her and allow her the time to heal. Remain her friend when she calls. If she doesn't respect that, then either way it was the best decision for you both.

Answer 4

It is best to be straight with her, she should respect you for telling her and not pretending that all is well between you. It will be her decision if she wants to remain friends with you, after the initial shock of the relationship ending she may want to stay friends with you. Good luck wish you all the best

Answer 5

LMAO
there is no easy way.
Why not tell her that you met someone else
and tht you wanted to be a man about it and tell her to her face.
That way she wont be stalking you and begging you for answers.

whatever you decide, give up the myth about amicable terms.
If you have a relationship with her she has already picked out the ring and told her parents about you
Now you are going to have to be a dog/asszhole so she can save face.

Answer 6

The staying on friendly terms is as much up to her as you...you can be ask kind and tactful in your breakup as possible but some people just find they cannot handle being plantonic friends with someone they were once intimate with.

Best wishes this works out well for you both.

Answer 7

the lets be friends route is so old hat if you say it it is an insult be honest with her talk to her tell her you feel the relationship is to involved and let her decide if she wants to be just friends with you or will prefer a clean break be honest and be quick dont drag it out

Answer 8

depends on how she feels about you..if she loves you it will break her...if she's also feeling the way you do she'll be ok with it. as for the guy who said stop talking to her, why would you suggest that?! thats happened to me, and i can tell you that if you want to remain friendly with her, you should be honest with her and tell her exactly why you dont want to be with her. at least she'll know. Good luck.

Answer 9

It depends how fond she is of you. If she's not too fond, she might well like to keep you as a friend. BUT, if she has strong feelings for you, I don't think it would work. You can but ask. Good luck!

Answer 10

How could you date her and then dump her?My ex did the same thing to me...and we're not friends anymore but if you don't like her end it B-4 she falls 4 you even more.
