We met on-line and started dating a few weeks back, but I just don't feel like she's the person with whom I want to be. My only problem, is that there aren't any real problems in our relationship. She's a nice girl, I like her and we have a lot in common, but I'm just not feeling the whole relationship anymore. What I'm afraid of most is hurting her, and adding to a few personal problems she's been having the past few years. Part of the problem, I guess, is that I have to rely on the use of my parents car in order to see her, which they aren't happy about me driving a good distance to see her. I could use that as an excuse, but I feel like she deserves the truth as to why I'm breaking it off. Does anyone have some suggestions on how to make this easy on the both of us?

Cheat on her and then you'll have a legit reason.

The choice is yours.

Have you discussed any of these issues with her before?
If you want to do this right, you'll be honest with her about your feelings, and take responsibility for your part in the situation. Be sure to give her a chance to respond in kind. It sucks, but putting her needs over your own because you don't want to hurt her is a sign of a co-dependent relationship, and that's not healthy for either one of you. I can't say whether it is or is not co-dependent, as I'm not a psychologist, nor would I have nearly enough information here, but either way, one should be taking care of their own emotional needs before they take care of the needs and wants of another person.
Just be sure to keep the conversation non-confrontational, and be willing to hear what she has to say. If you can't come to an agreement, then clearly you're making the right choice.
Or any ot of the other suggestions above, but those generally don't end very well. You could also tell her you're a porno star, and that your stage name is Buck Naked.

Spend the next few weeks finding excuses not to see her, and she'll break up with you.

To be serious for a minute, tell her exactly what you said in your post. But maybe without the car bit, because that kind of gives her an opening to try to "negotiate".
OR come out in a milk truck and spray her with milk.

With anything I'll quote what Homer has told me in two different episodes.
``I like you as a friend.''
``I think we should see other people.''
``I don't speak English.''
`I'm married to the sea.''
``I don't
wanna kill you, but I will.''
Dear Baby,
Welcome to Dumpville. Population---You.

Breaking up is never easy. Just do it honestly, and you'll both feel better about it in the long run.

Do what my ex-fiancee did to me. "You have to leave. I can't do this. It's over." "Why?" "I don't know."  |

Nice thread, fellas - make jokes, and/or make it about yourselves.
Basically, mang, just tell her what you told us in the first post. It's the truth, it won't go well, but what else can be expected? It'll turn out okay eventually.

Just be honest and say that she's nice but not the one for you.

You can be honest or you can tell her that you're Spider-Man and that if your enemies found out about her, she'd be in danger.
Personally I'd go with the Spider-Man thing. Then again I suck at this stuff.

Good luck. Here's hoping she "turns her key" (Seinfeld FTW)

Nice thread, fellas - make jokes, and/or make it about yourselves. Clearly you've forgotten just what forum you're on.  As for jobber2thestars, just tell her you've been drafted by the French Foreign Legion in order to settle the crisis in Arturjistan. Everything should work out without a hitch. |
