How do you break up with a nice guy?

How do you break up with someone who you've dated a long time and is your best friend? I want to break up with my boyfriend because the romantic/physical aspect of our relationship has been missing for about a year, despite all my attempts to rekindle it. I don't want to break his heart, and I really want to be friends (even if it takes a while). How can I break up with him graciously?How do you break up with a nice guy?
I would just tell him that this is something you need. And, to you, it's not a relationship without it.


The heart breaking thing may be unavoidable. The old saying, you can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig, kind of applies here. No matter how much you try to sugarcoat it, the bottom line is you're breaking up with him and things aren't going to be the same anymore. Even if you stay, your heart won't be in it anymore.


The best you can do is avoid character attacks, finger pointing and insults, and just say this isn't working for me anymore, which is the truth. Honesty is about the most gracious thing, I think. Don't promise you'll be friends if you don't mean it. Just do it cleanly.How do you break up with a nice guy?
You should try to be more open and tell him how the relationship has been going, and maybe you two could both work it out. If you break up with him, you might end up regretting and also losing your friend. But if you think the relationship isn't going really well, I guess you should tell him the truth and hope that he'll still be your friend. Sometimes, it'll take a guy a while to be friends with their ex, or sometimes even never. I hope it turns out good for you, and try not making a decision that you'll end up regretting :)
you know what this may seem a little sneaky, and dare I say...scandalous lol. but why don't you try getting another girl for him to like, then kinda act like a ***** to him but have the other girl act sweet and caring for him in that way he breaks the relationship instead of you, you would know it was all a hoax, but he'll think otherwise....wait...you still want to be friends with him...ok scratch that plan then.





just tell him straight out things arent working out and that you want to break it up as gf/bf but you still care for him enough that you want to be his friend.
I dated this guy for a year. Over the course of our relationship we moved from lovers to best friends...and that's how it should've always been.


Be honest, hon. It's hard, but tell him that you'd rather have your best friend instead of an unhappy future. Tell him exactly how you feel.





Me and my ex/current best friend jake now share an apartment with some other friends and are best friends with no sexual or romantic feelings. It worked out very well.
There are 7 steps for breaking up:


1. Keep a few days distance


2. Try to be sure about your decision


3. Do it in person


4. Know what and how to say it 鈥?be prepared


5. Always be clear that it鈥檚 absolutely over


6. Give an opportunity for closure


7. Help them with no contact





5 and 7 are the most difficult in my opinion. It's so easy to just say...';but we can be friends'; when someone is being ';rejected'; it's the last thing that NEED to hear, but what they WANT to hear...as it gives them a glimmer of hope that maybe you will change your mind in a couple of days!!! and therefore the ';no contact'; is another one you need to implement...NO CONTACT!!!





Don't forget, no matter how you do it, he's gonna be hurt. And so will you...just because you don't want to be with him, doesn't mean you won't hurt too.


Good luck!

Tell him that he hasn't been what you need him to be. Inform him of what has changed, but do so in a kind and friendly manner.





The best card to play would be ';You aren't the same person i fell in love with back in the day / You've changed';
have you told him about how you think that your relationship is missing the romance? cause if you havent you should. if you have and there hasnt been any change, then just tell him you dont think its working for you anymore
Yeah, honesty is the only way to go. Put everything out on the table. If you two are as close as you say you are, then you should be able to overcome this obstacle.
just say it politely
Tell him you love him so much and thats the reason you cant be with him because you cant bear the thought of being miserable together so you may as well be happy seperate?
you should be honest with him, and let him know the exact reason.

be honest about everything, that's the right thing to do whether it hurts him or not.
You dont! You keep him around, because if not u will regret it later. They rae hard to find and will go running back to him when the skeezy tool bag of a guy cheats on u and breaks ur heart.
peel it off like a bandaid...say it to his face and let go.


keep it simple
tell him wat u feel;) sounds origional but workss:)
