I would meet him face to face (no talking on the phone, that's much too impersonal and he may really not think it's over) and tell him that you think he's a great, nice, wonderful guy, but that you don't think that the two of you are meant to be together. He should accept that in time, and nobody will get violent :) Good luck :)

I know it's hard but u have to be honest u can't lead him on any longer. Practice what your gonna say to him for example:
Hi I've been thinking about somthing that I need to tell u (If u start out with we need to talk u hit the panic button)
I want u to listen to every thing & after i'm done u can say whatever u want.
Look into his eyes (If u do it in person becuse if u don't he won't take u seriously) I've decided that I don't want to be in this relationship because (give your reasons)
If he says that he doesn't want for u to leave him u have to be strong & firm to say I don't want to be in an unhappy relationship I now that I'll be unhappy & if I'm unhappy you'll be true & we'll both be misrable. I don't want to lead u on anymore I don't like lying & being with you is lying. So this is the end. I know you're angry.
If he cusses at u let him cuz u should feel his pain cuz someone out there probably broke your heart 2 (let him expresses it with words if he attacks u get out of there as fast as u can & report it)

Just stand your ground and be firm & honest if its over its over he has to accept it. The more you prolong this the more you will keep yourself from being truly happy and it will get in the way of any potential relationship in the future. You might end up hurting his feelings but nobody ever said breaking off a relationship doesnt hurt not even a little. He'll get over it and move on. You'll be ok

All you have to do is call him /her up and meet him/her at place where both of you can talk freely. Just tell him/her straight away that you can't carry this relationship forward you want to break-off from her and also mention the reason. Because I also did the same thing. We both broke-off amicably and told him the reason why I cannot carry this relationship any further.

It might sound cowardly, but it's probably a little easier over the phone....for both parties. Think of it this way: You are really doing him a favor not to lead him on. Be kind, but direct. Tell him you are just simply ready to move on. You might point out that you have had a lot of fun, and that you will remember him fondly, etc, but get to the point, and let him off the hook....gently, but firmly....and rather quickly.

Just tell him that the things that you use to want have changed and because of this your feelings toward him have changed. Then tell him that you can't be with him anymore, and that you should go your separate ways now before you get too much farther in the relationship.

Well, in a public setting where you can meet your "other", tell them during the outing that you think the time has come for the both of you to move on. Leave the rationale for the decision to be your own.

You say: I am sorry but at this time I realized that I no longer want to date, it's nothing that you did I just would like to have more me time and I am not looking to be in a relationship at this point in my life.
Or You can do what guys do and just stop calling or taking his calls.

Tell him just that. Its okay to not want to be in a relationship with someone. You don't have to be mean, but you don't have to sugar-coat it. Just keep his feelings in consideration. When I have hard time coming up with the right thing to say, I get really cheesey and use movies lines (Its not you, its me; let's just be friends, etc...). Good luck!
