My girlfriend and I have been dating for about a month or so now and she's my best friend. There's only one problem, I don't want to lose her as a friend if we stay together for to long, so I want to know how I can break up with her but still be friends.

Well it's only been a month so if i were you i would plan something nice to do with her and just tell her you are going to be very honest with her because you feel you can be with her and tell her you feel that you guys are better as best friends not girlfriend and boyfriend and explain your reasons as to why!!! Tell her you really didn't want to hurt her and your feeling have not changed you just don't feel the love for her as a partner but as a best friends instead...Be patient with her reactions as it might not be so great at first but she should come around eventually -but you have to tell her because it would be wrong to not and pretend for her sake only that's only going to make it worse for when it does finally come out.

I hate to tell you but it will never be the same. Once you are together as boyfriend/girlfriend and you break up there will be animosity and tension. Hope things turn out all right. I wouldn't drag it on if you want to break up just do it.

Be a man and tell her. Honestly hurst but she will appreciate it more. Don't lead her, it hurts more the longer you put it off. Don't play games, by using friends to help you, don't do it through the phone, and most of all when you tell her don't be careless about it. Try to explain to her the reason you came to this conclusion, even if it's because you like a different girl.

Just go to her and tell her that, telling the truth never hurts. Just tell her maybe going out isn't the best thing at this time, and we should just be best friends for now. Then also possibly say "things may change in the future and we can go out again." So that she'll still have that reassurance.

um...most people want their boy/girlfriend to be their best friend. Unless the physical attraction is lacking, then why did you start dating her in the first place?
If you do want to end it do it asap...the more time passes, the more likely feelings are going to be hurt...and unless she is incredibly mature and adult, she may NOT want to or be able to be "just friends"...so be prepared for that reaction.
And no matter what...BE HONEST with yourself and her.

well you have to explain to her that you think that you dont want to risk losing her just because you decided to take your friendship to the next level. and tell her that its rare to find ex-flames who chose to remain friends even after a break up and you would never want that to happen. and tell her that you think that you guys rushed this thing a bit so for now you just want to cherish the friendship. but why dont you give this relationship a chance. if you think you two have what it takes to keep it strong then still continue.

you should still take her out but go with a group of people instead of just you two. and if she asks you out then tell her what you think, tell her that you like being her girlfriend but you like being her friend better. and If she asks you why you are always inviting people tell her the same thing. I think that if y'all break up, unless she is mad at you then just act normal you could act like y'all were still going out just without the hugging and kissing and clinging.

well first consider if you really want to, right a list of pros and cons (i know its easier to come up with cons but). if you still want to, make her pitty you and have a tragic accident or something and say i dont think having a relationship would be the best thing for you right now. sorry thats all i got, theres no easy way of breaking up.

Talk to her face to face not over the phone or computer or anything just tell her that you don't think things between you guys would work out anymore and ask to be friends. good luck.

Good Luck. It's next to impossible unless that is what you both want. Tell her the truth. Be honest, even if it hurts.
