How would ou like to be broken up with?
 
Is there a good way? If given the coice how would you like someone else to end it with you?

Email? IM? Phone? What should they say?

Ever been broken up with in a "good" way?

In person and be honest (but nice)

Definitely in person or by letter (on paper and pen, thank you), high tech break ups are in poor taste.

in person... just don't prolong it any longer than it needs to be.

And don't wait to do it either. Once you start seeing that things aren't going right and you KNOW we need to break up... don't wait another 5 months to do it.

Sorry... venting. :mad:

In Person sounds a lot better.

I prefer a letter so I can react however I want without embarrassing myself. I then, of course, reserve the right to storm over and demand an explanation in person.

Tips for breaking up with texas*princess
 
1) do not make assumptions.. if you think the relationship is over, please tell me and don't assume that I know. As far as I'm concerned, if no one says it isn't over, it's still going on.

2) Do not make me cry and then try to comfort me. YOU'RE THE ONE MAKING ME CRY, YOU MEANYHEAD! :)

3) Don't give me any cliche' lines... like the "it's not you, it's me" one... I am likely to laugh in your face if you try that :D

4) Don't lie about why we're breaking up... I want to know what I did wrong, or what went wrong, so I won't do it with the next hot guy in line :p

5) Don't stop me at the supermarket a few days later and ask me if I'm still mad at you. If we broke up on bad terms, chances are, I am, so don't bother asking.

6) Don't be a kid and ask your friends to ask my friends what I've been up to... be a man and ask me yourself if you are truly that interested. :p

I would prefer to be broken up with in person. I hate the phone because you can't see the person and it seems so much worse than it really is. I would like to be told why I'm being broken up with~another girl, things just weren't working out, etc. But don't feed me the old line "It's me, not you" crap. I'll prolly kick you in the leg if you tell me that! :D

In person, after dinner, a movie and a round of shopping at your expense! Then by all means dump me! And if you feel bad, we can do the whole thing again til after you feel better! :p

Sleep with my best friend or something.

- Preferably in person. On the phone if need be (this happened last time since he lived a couple hours away) but none of this email crap. And do it yourself. DON'T have a friend do it for you.

- Do NOT NOT NOT use the fade-out method. (You know the one...suddenly stop calling or coming by or any contact whatsoever, no reason given)

- Be honest. If there's something I've done, tell me that. If you think that you're gay, tell me that. If there's someone else, tell me that. If you were only going out with me on a dare and now that you've collected your million dollars, you can ditch me, tell me that. I'm a big girl. I can take it.

-Do not set me up to look stupid. That's the worst of all. :mad:

The best way to break up wiht a girl as a guy . . . is to just stop calling her, call block her number, im-block her, email block etc . . . usually after blowing her off and not having time with her for a little while . . and then if you are confronted . . says its not her its you and refuse to talk about it at all beyond that one phrase . . .

Much less drama for the boy to do it that way . . . and if you see her out in public just be warmly polite and friendly.
