Breaking up with someone is not an easy task. You have cared about each other, but it's just not working anymore and you don't want to hurt him/her.
Instructions
1. Think.
Why are you breaking up with him/her? Is the spark just not there? Is he/she too clingy? Whatever it is, think it through and decide whether this is something that could be fixed with a talk or if it really is over. You don't want to break up only to come running back to the person.
2. Call.
Ask him/her to meet you in a private setting. One of your homes would be the best choice. This allows you to have an uninterrupted conversation. Public breakups are never good.
3. Meet.
Once you have met up, sit him/her down and say you need to talk. Let him/her know that you enjoyed the time you spent together, but that it is just not working anymore. Explain why. He/she deserves the truth, but do not go into detail. For instance, if you feel that the spark is gone you can say that. Do not, however, go on about specific times that you weren't feeling it, etc. This is too truthful and will only hurt more.
4. Do not make false promises.
Don't say it's just a break if it's not. Don't say that you still want to be friends if you know you wont. This will only make things worse in the long run. Be honest.
5. Say your goodbyes.
It may be hard to break up, but at least you did the right thing. There is no use holding on to something that isn't working. You will both find new people to be with. Just give it time.
