The way I was dumped. I was waiting to meet her at the usual place, and she walked in on some other guy's arm.
-
By not really doing or saying anything definitive, leaving the person "hanging", for lack of a better term. Trying (without really trying) and hoping it will just fade away.
-
Any method that doesn't involve an honest face to face! Whenever you break up with someone you should take the time to do it with sensitivity and try not to damage their pride. On the other hand if you are leaving them because they are violent a good hard smack in the chops should do it. Treat others as you would want to be treated yourself and you can't go far wrong.

Any way that doesn't involve face to face speaking.

Vanish into thin air with not so much as a hint. I did this once 20 years ago, and I am ashamed of myself to this day. I have grown up since then...

On the phone That's how Hallmehn (a former AB member) did it at least.. True, it would've been a pain to go to her place, have her break up with me, and then having to travel all the way back home (which took 1½ hour), alone.. but I still think I would've prefered it that way..
-
In my case, over the telephone.

I don't think cowardice applies well to 'breaking up'... Cowardice implies that the situation would ordinarily lead to danger and pain, which is only the case if the relationship is abusive. Yet, in such a situation to call someone 'cowardly' for not breaking up face-to-face is, quite frankly, disgusting. If one is being cowardly, they must be fearful of possible danger and pain and have not faced up to the situation despite that fear. So... How can someone break up in a cowardly way? It is only possible if the relationship involves fear, danger, or pain. People should not fear their partners, they should either love them or not love them; trying to hold a relationship together with coercion or lies is truly the cowardly thing to do, as it involves treating your partner poorly so that you do not need to suffer the costs of loosing someone you think you love despite the relationship not working. ***** A better word to use is 'cruel'. The most cruel way to break up with someone is hard to imagine, but I'm sure it would involve a series of rotating knives, and possibly a large reptilian creature of some description...

A guy could hire Johnny Depp to pretend to be him- he could tell JD that it would be the most challenging role of his life. ;) I'm sure the S/O would notice the difference and although she'd be much happier than she was with the dumper it would still be a very expensive form of cowardice.
-
Without informing him/her and disappearing all of a sudden :-)
-
Through another person. People need to be up front about what they are feeling. ~+~
-
If he got his parents to tell me that the relationship is over, ... that would be pretty cowardly TO THE MAX!!
-
Getting the new girlfriend or boyfriend to tell you. Avoiding you so you will "get the hint" Saying they are going to marry somebody they just met when they had already told you they were going on holidays to work things out to improve your relationship. Spreading a rumour that you've broken up and having it get back to you somehow. Never returning your calls.

Carrier pigeon.

To not talk to them and avoid them. I know a guy that breaks up like that. Fresh and Soph years of college I lived with him and saw him break up twice that way. He would never mention it to anybody, and while walking to class his girl would see him and smile and wave happy like. He would stare stragiht ahead and not say a word. The look on the girls face were something I hope to not see again. Sadness and confusion.
-
I agree with one of the posters ... anything that isn't face to face. My recent bf (also of 2 years) did it via email! Big coward. Kinda makes you wonder what we saw in someone like this in the first place, huh?

-
I agree with 2 different posters a guy just broke up with me doing the whole no talk but my best friend got the whole TEXT MESSAGE from the dudes friend!!! No lie! talk about double low blow!!!!
-
Anything besides face to face. Breakups usually happen because the other person didn't respect the relationship in some way. Be the better person and tell them to their face that things are over, why it's over, and how things will be going forward between you. It might not be the easiest way, they might not deserve it, but if you can't face them it will take longer to get over them.
-
text message then refusing to talk to them
-
not having the guts to do it yourself and getting others to do your dirty work for you.
-
How about this cowardly approach: Taking back the engagement ring he gave me by saying he wanted to "officially" propose to me in 4 days on x-mas and said he loved me and will see me later that night. I did not hear from him again, he avoided me, and hoped I would just fade away.
-
By email or text message is probably the coldest way I could think of.

Just stop seeing them without and explanation, then avoiding them.
-
Getting someone else to do it for you either by telling them that they've been dating them for a while or leaving it on your answering machine or text message, waiting until your gone to work & packing either all your stuff or their stuff & you having no knowledge that they planned to leave. Also leaving behind all the unpaid bills because they had been saving up for months & months & leaving you with all the expenses as well as a broken heart.

-
My ex went to australia to live there and she didn't even tell me. She changed her email and her phone number. I haven't found anybody else since :(
-
Imo, any way that isn't face to face. It may be different if the person, say, gives you a warning over something like email or phone. For example, we need to talk, this isn't working - hell even if they actually say something to the point of breaking up BUT as long as they still go through it all in person. I cannot imagine (either being the dumper or dumpee) breaking up with someone over something like email, letter, text msg, having someone else do it for them, or even phone, and then...that's it. You never see the person again. WTF?? People need closure! And it's just basic respect for the other person for gods sake...
-
Via email or sms
-
is to text message or e-mail

By just suddenly blocking your mobile number. The b*****. I don't think I will ever get over him!
