how do you say goodbye?

It is hard to tell someone that the spark and love is gone but I think it is best to be honest with them. If you lie and tell them there is someone else it won't make it any easier and in fact would make it harder in my opinion. Honesty and being firm when you tell them are the best ways I think. If you hesitate and give them any type of hope that things have a chance then they will continue to pursue a relationship with you. If you are firm and let them know that it is truly over it still hurts but they are more apt to move on and give up the pursuit easier.

it is really very hard to say Goodbye to someone when you know that she will be hurt the moment you will ask for her/him a distance but that would be the best thing to do is to be Honest and just tell her/him that you would need a distance between the two of you and told that you need to find yourself......

I have already done that. Saying goodbye to that person... Err, such a painful experience, I really hated that scene of my life... I did it "NUMBLY", kinda no emotions at all. I don't want to see him see me grieve. It was just devastating when he said, "WHY?"...

its tough convincing the person that u love to stay away and end the relationship saying that you love someone who doesn't even exist is not good but if i want to end the relationship with any loved one i would say it clearly and calmly and not hurt their feelings.

yes... atleast the person wont expect anything from me.... but in saying goodbye i think is not a good idea because goodbyes are not forever..
