How Would You Like it to End?

by setting his car on fire and then pushing him into the ocean hoping he gets eaten up by a passing shark.
meanwhile a hot firefighter comes to put out the car fire and taadaa, new boyfriend.

prolly only do that if hes cheated on you..

if hes done nothing wrong you have to do it face to face.. however hard it may be..

Yeah, such things always should be done face 2 face. In other case, you won't be able to kick his balls goodbye... ;P

Ha-ha, if you're not into a guy anymore you're not doing him any favors by sticking around.  Show some class and cut that boy that’s not right for you anymore loose.  If you’ve been dating a few weeks to a few months:  Keep it short and sweet, meet in person, somewhere neutral, and just come out and tell him that you don't want to be his girlfriend anymore.  Don’t be wishy-washy about it!  Above all keep it brief, no more than 15-30 minutes, breakups suck as it is; making it long and drawn out (i.e. over a few days, weeks, or months) won't help anyone and will just leave both of you mentally jaded and over the whole relationship turned relationsh*t.

Been dating for a few years? These breakups are messy, but again it’s better to get to the point and not waste either party’s time anymore.  Meet in person, somewhere they can be safe and again keep it brief, no long drawn out explanations of why you don’t want to be with them.  If they’re a weepy mess, hold them until they stop crying and give the poor **** a tissue, but again don’t linger for more than 30-60 minutes it’ll just be worse and you can’t really be the person to comfort him anymore anyway.  If they’re really shaken up over it they’re better off taking some time to compose themselves before you discuss the details of the breakup.  Just make sure they understand that it’s over and that there is nothing they can say or do to make you change your mind, tell them that they need to move on. Give them closure, but never give them hope that you will get back together with them. 

If you’ve only gone out on a few dates and you’re not even in a relationship it’s always a big plus when a woman just tells me she’s not interested in dating me anymore, plus this is a good time to practice letting people down easy and politely.  While most dating veterans understand when they are getting the blow off from someone, it shows a lot of class when a woman tells me she’s no longer interested in dating me anymore. 

If there is this annoying persistent guy that keeps asking you out, but you’re completely not interested, make sure that he knows that no matter how many times he asks you out, you will never ever go out with him.

If he did something very specific that really was key in your decision to break up with him and you absolutely feel the reason to tell me, make sure he understands that it’s something you can’t personally tolerate.  There doesn't even have to be a reason why that’s irrelevant at this point.  Whatever you do don't hash out all the reasons why you're breaking up with him.  Those are your reasons and at this point if he really cared about you he's hurting enough as it is.  And don't ever give him any false hope that you might get back together in the future, that's just cruel. 

Typical breakup script:
(insert boyfriend name here) I don’t want to be your girlfriend anymore.  I’m sorry, things aren’t working out for me anymore, but it’s best for both of us if we move on and start dating other people.  I’m sorry for hurting you, but this is going to be the best for both of us, you deserve to be with someone who wants to be with you as much as you want to be with them.  There is nothing that you can say or do that will make me change my mind about this.  I’m sorry for hurting you, it’s for the best if we don’t see or talk to each other until we’re completely over each other.  I have to leave now, I’m sorry.

The breakup will suck at first but you’ll be relieved to be out of a dissatisfying relationship and won’t get sucked into the vicious cycle of treat this guy like dirt until he breaks up with me syndrome.  And make sure that you don’t return his calls or make any promises to see him in the future, if it’s over it’s over, and if you’re not sure about breaking up with him, keep it to yourself until you are sure.

Are you sure your a man? haha. Men dont think like that! Or maybe your a gay man? sometimes they do?

Sorry I am only messing, but I'm pretty sure men dont think like this. If you got a woman, boy is she lucky! haha

I'm not your typical man, and feel free to mess away.  I think this advice could be used equally well both ways, for guys and for girls.  I'm not gay I've just had some experience with getting my heart broken a few times in the past. 

Haha, one of my guy friends was telling me the other day that he can't believe I'm still single.  Most of my girl-friends didn't realize how good they had it until they were ex's.  But it kind of goes both ways, to a certain extent everyone's kind of ambivalent and oblivious when in love.  You never really know what you have until you lose it forever.

I love the ladies and I love fashion, ok so maybe I’m a bit metro, nothing wrong with that though, eh?

Find him a better girlfriend.

Yep, since some of us are joking around, its my turn 

Have her show up with some chick that wanted to met me, we  start with  duo's then after I am worn out    have her gently break the bad news to me and let the other gal hang around to cheer me up afterwards...


However I do believe some of us here are in "dream land" lol

Well I believe the setting his car on fire is more like it, 

Stop talking to him.
