A nice way to break up with my girlfriend

What is a nice way to break up with my girlfriend? She is a great girl but just not the great girl for me. We had a conversation on Friday and I let her know that I "wanted time to think about the relationship and where it was going." So the writing is on the wall.


Thanks in advance

Dear Baby! Welcome to Dumpville! Population: You!

Three simple words. I am gay.

You can try the girly way:

«I don't know if I am ready to go further in our relationship, I think I need a break. I'm not sure on my sentiment toward you. LET'S BE FRIENDS!!!»

That's what they always do, don't they?

breaking up is one of the hardest things to do. i know its much tougher for me to tell the girl i'm breaking up with.

basically, theres no substitute to being honest. I wouldn't go so far as telling her she's not good enough for you. you should just say its not going to work out.

Tell her that you work for the CIA and you are on a secret mission, possibly never to return. Also tell her that you are gay.

"i'm sorry, but i can't come to terms with the idea of ONLY being able to shag you. I like to keep my options open. Nothin personal, babe."

"i'm sorry, but i can't come to terms with the idea of ONLY being able to shag you. I like to keep my options open. Nothin personal, babe."


DING! DING! DING!

We have a winner!

Fake your own death.

What is a nice way to break up with my girlfriend? She is a great girl but just not the great girl for me. Why don't you just tell her what you just told us.

"You are a great girl but just not (the right) girl for me."

Go Ricki Lake Show on her and give her a gift-wrapped box with a bow on it. She will be so happy you bought her a present, until she opens it up and finds a BIG YELLOW DUMP TRUCK. ZING!

Why don't you just tell her what you just told us.

"You are a great girl but just not (the right) girl for me."
:handclap: :bow: :handclap: Absolutely the best answer!!

Yeah, saying the truth might be an option. :p

Get her on Jerry Springer and tell her what you want to say.

Give her a card that says "Lets Bee Friends" that has a picture of a bee on it.

thats honestly probably the best way to do it,

the "Lets be Friends" thing has always seemed to lead to bad feelings I think

it wasnt funny and the simpsons arent either. unless you are 14 and then you wouldnt understand why it wasnt funny.

anyhow, i did go a bit overboard, you arent the only member of loserville, but i will let you keep the mayor hat.

pretend to go psycho she'll run fast :)

maybe the simpsons are just a little too smart for you? you probably dont understand The Family Guy either

I'll be the mayor as long as you'll be my first lady

A straight jacket and a bottle of jack usually does the trick...

I use:

It just isn't working out, I still want to be friends and continue a great friendship with you though.

Seems to work.

A buddy of mine used the following:

"I'm in my sexual prime now and I want to keep those options open. So I'm breaking up with you"

Yeah well wait til your friend's gf turns 30 something then she'll be in her sexual prime and your friend will gonzo! :lol:

At least, don't do like my friend :rolleyes: ... He stopped calling her and never returned her call.

sounds like me. i've found that the best way to end a relationship is to get a new girlfriend :joker:

Just be honest and forget about any little games. She may be hurt, but at the end of the day it will be better for the both of you if you cut ties ASAP.

At least have the common decency to have a***sex with her before breaking up. :D

"Your services are no longer required."

suggest a menage a trois with her best looking friend. She is sure to be so disgusted, that she would dump you immediately. If, on the rare chance she says yes...live the high life.

Be honest with her :)

1. If she's a prude, take her to the movies and try the popcorn trick. :lol: If she goes for it, tell her you're not that kind of guy and she can find a sicko who gets off on that kind of stuff.

2. Tell her you've recently discovered you're a psychic, and when you looked into your future she wasn't part of it.

3. Ask her, "If I promise to ignore you forever will you go away?"

4. Give her a present - a box inside a box inside a box .... and wrap each one. When she opens the last one (a box you'd put a ring in), it'll be empty. She'll look at you after opening that last box, and you can tell her, "And you won't be getting one from me - ever!"

5. Tell her you recently developed a list of standards for women in your life, and she didn't make the cut.

6. Unveil a organzational chart of the people in your life, and when she doesn't see her name on the chart tell her "Oh, that's because you're no longer part of my life." (used on Blues chairman Michael Shanahan circa 1994 by Civic Progress)

7. Tell her there's things you'd like to do in your life and you can't be tied down while you try to do those things.

8. Tell her you're having a hypothetical affair, and you've enjoyed it so much you'd rather spend time with your hypothetical girlfriend.

Just introduce her to your mother.

ah, the roomate switch...

Honesty is the best policy. And if that doesn't work...run....Forrest...run and never look back.

Some potential strategies:

1) Send her a "Dear Jane" e-mail.
2) Try to sleep with her mother or sister. That should give her a hint.
3) Move to another state, and don't tell her where you are going.
4) Simply stop talking to her, returning her calls, or acknowledging her when she walks into a room. Breaking up need not involve any active effort on your part.
5) Leave a dead cat in her mailbox.
6) You should immediately gather up all the items that she has given you or left in your house and throw them into the street where everbody can see them.
7) Take her to a fancy dinner in another town (the farther away, the better). Then, tell her you are going to drop her in front so she can get a table while you look for a place to park. As soon as she walks in the door, peel out and leave her there. If she is smart enough to catch a bus, you might have to deal with her again. But, everytime I've done this, I've never had to see the woman again.

By the way, I'm 40, single, and I haven't been near a women in two weeks. So, you know you can trust my advice. I'm an expert on single females, because I've been single for so very long.

P.S. My real advice: Be honest and gentle. I have many close friendships with women I've dated, and I those realationships have really meant a lot to me over the years. It is so much nicer when you can stay friendly afterwards.

Real advice?!?

Try growing a pair of balls, be a man and tell her what's on your mind.
