You can't. It's going to hurt his feelings anyway unless he could care less about you. So, therefore all you can do is be honest with him and tell him exactly how you feel. No need to drag it out, that'll just make him feel worse.

If he loves you dats imposible, trust me
I couldnt agree more, you cant.



say its not you, its me..





but he is going to be hurt no matter what..
You can't, just try and be nice and tell him how you feel. He's going to hurt, but you can at least be as nice as possible. Not dating someone else right away is a big help too.
theres no way to break up without pain...just be as honest as you can and he will deal with it better .you obviously want more than he can offer
you can't break up with him without hurting him! that's simply not possible, unless he really doesn't care.....
you kinda cant, breaking up hurts, it doesnt matter how you do it, just do your best to tell him the truth, and hope he doesnt cry on you.
He's gonna have his feelings hurt, you'll just make it harder trying to avoid that. You need to be honest with him, in the long run it's gonna be best for both of you that you tell him exactly what's up, unless you don't want to go into that much detail about it, but still tell the truth.
Honestly, I've done a few breakups...So I think this is something that you should tell him...


';You really are a great guy, I loved every moment that we've spent together...Really...But I feel like we've lost connection and It's not working out between us. We can try and fix it...or maybe we should take a little break. It's upto you.';


...and see how he feels about it....Before, jumping ahead, and breakup with him =)


Good Luck...
Simple. It's not possible. You can't avoid hurt feelings.
Rejection hurts everyone. But if you want to save face in the long run with the dude, tell him directly that it's over instead of those girly excuses we're all use to hearing. Girly excuses makes me respect her decision less...and simply it's a cop-out.
Let me tell ya girl no break up is easy. I would just tell him and not beat around the bush. You just have to stick to it if you don't like him. There's lots of guys that will say they want to try to make the relationship better (girls too) but you know if their chemistry or not. Good luck!
You seriously cant, but you just have to say what you need to say, just like john mayer
Que onda! :)


hm, i guess you should call him and tell him you wanna meet up somewhere for coffee or lunch. then just tell it straight to his face, like ';hey, I think we're losing the spark, you know? and you know I care about you but as for now I'm not sure if we should go out. But i swear i still want to be your friend and you know i'm always there for you.'; something like that. Just be plain honest. That's always the best way to go. Good luck
If this guy cares for you, it's gonna hurt no matter what. But you know what if you feel nothing, the longer you stay with him you're only doing more damage and will end up hurting him even more. Tell him how you feel but before you make a decision to move on, see if you can work things out. Seems to me like you care for him otherwise you wouldn't be asking this question, but you're not getting what you want. So talk and maybe that can change things.
just tell him how u feel ur going to hurt his feelings anyway but that comes with relationships
I personally don't think you can break up with someone with out hurting their feelings.Either way they will be hurt even if they dont let you or any one else see that they are. Sometimes people break up with the other one but they are hurt themselves that they did it.


So I know I probably didnt help at all. Just tell him the truth.
dont worry about it... he will LIVE.. life moves on..
To be honest , if your boyfriend do have feelings for you , when you mentioned a breakup , he will still definitely be hurt and upset , how hurt and upset will depends on how much he loves you , how deep is the feeling for you .





Frankly , I feel there is really no way to avoid hurting the other party feelings as long as the other party have love for you .





However , you might wanted to talk to him nicely and point out the reasons why you felt that both of you are not an item . Allow him to digest and accept the reason , it might be the best solution and it might not hurt too much cause he understood the reason .





Good luck
Theres no such thing as not hurting his feelings! There going to get hurt no matter what! You just have to be true to yourself and do what you have to do.
its impossible
there really isnt any nice way to deww it,


no matter what its gonna hurt himm,


just explain to him why things arent working and dont leave


him thinking what he did wrongg,


let him know how youh feel
Depending on how long you two have been together...it's not possible to break up with him w/o hurting him sorry...us guys have emotions sometimes too lol...some of us anyway...I suggest you talk to him and suggest that you two date other people...this usually leads to us guys appreciating what we lost or losing complete interest....either way you win...if he loses complete interest...then you're in the clear...if not...then you'll just let him feel sorry you dont feel the same way...and you dont want to hook back up...he'll eventually get over it and blame himself for his lack of attention devoted to you....lol..I'm pretty experienced when it comes to dating =)...it works...hope this helps...take care
If he truly loves you and cares about you, then there's no easy way of breaking up with him. But the next best way is to tell him in a polite way that it's not working out and say that maybe you should see other people.
There's no way to do it without making him feel rejected. Just be honest with him, and tell him what you said in your question: ';we have lost connection, we don't talk as much, and its not working out between us.'; Don't build up tension by beating around the bush; you should be gently up-front with him about it. You could try to bring it up in such a way that it's more of a mutual break-up than just you breaking up with him. Tell him that you've been feeling distant and like it's not working as well as before, and ask him if he feels the same way. Hopefully, he'll have realized that you're not talking as much and you're not as close anymore, so it might not be as bad for him if he kinda feels the same way you do.





It's a good thing that you realize that your relationship isn't working and you're ending it instead of letting it drag on. Good for you for being smart!





Good luck. :-)
just tell him that there isnt any connection between you guys...girll breaking up is already hurtful but if the guy would understand how you feel then he will be tuff and take it.....but hm hm man dont worry if he got you then he can get someone else...
Just turn into a complete moron and he will think it's time to break up too. Therefore, it will be mutual break up
yes u can. just ask him if he wants to b friends instead. maybe u coulg get to know each other better that way,and mayb if u do get back 2gether u will have more 2 talk about
I've been in the same situation. What I did was tell him that my feelings have changed towards him and it was nothing that he did that made me change my mind.. It's just what is best for me and hopefully we can still be friends. After awhile, he was calmer bc u have to get them used to the idea that you moved on but still want to be friends
