Sooo.... I think we should see other people.

[Dragon_of_red]

Well, spured on by my own pretty terrible attempt at breaking up with my girlfriend, i am here to ask the question... What is your preffered way of breaking up with people?

Mine, while i was on the walk to her house i thought of an awesome way to do it, it was a great speech and everything and was all planned out... But i got there and i forgot it instantly... Damn me and my arkward ness...

I tried to not use cliches and everything like that...

It all ended ok though, no me getting slapped or hit in anyway and we are still friends...

And since thats the only break up ive ever been in, that must be my so far preffered style, really really arkward...

So... Whats yours?

 

[Dudemeister]

Hey, remember all the good times we've had?
GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE!

 

[Daystar Clarion]

I've never had any experience with breaking up...
I've been with the same girl since I was 15. I'm now 22. My idea of flirting is puching a girl on the leg and telling her that she smells...

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

*Ponders for a moment*
Well...
We just sort of stopped seeing each other.
The relationship crumbled when I ran out of money for her to use.
That, and I found pretty much everything else more interesting than her.
Yeah, that happens sometimes when people are forced into a relationship.
Especially when one of those two people is nonsexual...

I would like it if they broke up with me right before I was going to break up with them. Then I act like I'm devastated and they feel tons of guilt. Yay me!

Although mostly when I break up with someone it ends with a lot of arguing... I'm not smooth when it comes to that!

 

[Kortney]

Never been with someone. Never had to break up with someone.

Big positive I say.

 

[Dragon_of_red]

Total honesty.


No cliches, no avoidance, no lies. Just flat up tell this person that the love you once had has faded, and while you're very sorry you had to end it, you know that it can't go on anymore. You hope that things can remain okay between you.

At that point, the ball is in their court. They can react however they want.

That was my plan but it all turned to shit when i got there, iwa splanning on telling the truth and i still did, but i was going to say it much much better and with less 'Sooooooo...'s in there.

 

[Music Mole]

Cut them up & put the pieces in bags & bury the bags in the woods.

Nah, I've never been in a relationship.

Hmmm. I may see a pattern emerging...

 

[Flishiz]

I think the best breakup I've ever had (if those words can be said without irony) is when my ex and I sat down and just said "we're not the same people we were when we started dating, so why bother keeping it going?"

Fair enough, we had a little awkward post-breakup period but she's dating a different guy now so now we can finally be great friends again.

 

[Chechosaurus]

Get drunk. Stinkingly drunk. Get absolute sloshed. Then, when in a state of drunken euphoria, take her aside; mutter, stumble over my words and forget my carefully planned speech until she gets the idea.

To be fair, I've only ever really been in one relationship and it ended somewhat like that. I needed some Dutch courage and it didn't really matter any way as it was a mutual decision in the end because we had both grown somewhat sick of each other. I don't know how we ended up getting back together a few months later, repeating the process and then still remain very good friends. Not the kind of, "Let's be friends but never actually talk to each other" kind of friends though.

 

[Joshroom]

Mmm, well I've never been the one to "dump" the other one. Going by my experiences the best way to break up with someone is to cheat on them when they're away then basically say "smell ya later" when they get back. Sigh.

 

[dark-amon]

Well loverelations are based on strong emotions. My way is to explain how these emotions have begun to fade and it's now just a friend-relation and that we should both find someone where these emotions run longer and stronger. It may sound cliche, but it's the truth.

That doesnt seem like the classiest option to take, be careful of your Karma gauge

 

[ethaninja]

F-bomb them.

 

[Layz92]

Nothing says GTFO like domestic abuse. Also leaving them a CD in an envelope with one song on it, "can't touch this" by MC Hammer with a note saying "take a hint, don't be there when I get home".

On a realistic note I would just be honest. My honesty is usually a bit rough but it leaves no room for misinterpretation.

 

[Hybrid Sight]

Tell them the turth, and hope for the best.

Well I was in a relationship for about a year and I was going to break up with the girl I was dating. Next time I saw here she told me she wasn't sure if she liked me anymore and broke up with me. I found out later that she liked other guys and may have been cheating on me.

 

[Thirsk]

My only experience with breaking up is my now ex-girlfriend basically saying "This and this have been nagging me, I can't see you no more" and since then refusing to even look at me, even though she "doesn't hate me or anything".

I was heartbroken for half a day, then called my dad and cried my heart out, went out to the bathroom and poured some cold water unto my face. When I looked myself in the mirror Born to be Wild started playing in my head, and I had moved on.

A very wierd experience if there ever was one.

 

[S.R.S.]

A text message while I'm at the pub.

No, I'm more sincere than that. I use the "leave a letter where she'll find it" approach. I keep the letter as a template if I ever need it again. Just fill in the blanks.
