    Be direct with him. Tell him that you do not want to be in the relationship anymore and explain why if there is a specific reason. Even if you just don't like him anymore or if you have grown away from him or you realize that he is not the kind of guy that you want, then just say so.. but PLEASE DON'T tell him things like, "It's me, not you." because that's a lie. And guys don't like to hear lies like that. And another thing that guys hate hearing when they get dumped is, "But we can still be friends." NO YOU CAN NOT still be friends. There is a period of adjustment and he will not want to be anywhere around you unless he thinks that you will change your mind. After he is over it, there might come a time where you guys can be friends again. But please... and I really mean this.. PLEASE don't offer him the the "runner up" prize of being friends. That's more of an insult than anything. So if you really care about his feelings, tell him that its over and be done with it. And do not let any part of the relationship linger on. Stay out of his way, stay out of his sight and if you happen to be dumping him for another guy give it some time before you let him see you with your new boyfriend.

    • this is really good but i have to agree but disagree with the part about still being friends. my best friend and her boyfriend were friends before then went out. then they started going out. and they broke up in may but started to go back out again. during the time of them being broken up the became friends again. so ya you can still be friends with your exes. its the same for me too. i was friends before and after our realtionship desolved. and right now im trying to break up with my current boyfriend for a few reasons.
