How to dump a girlfriend?

September 8, 2011 11:34am CST
So, I've been seeing this girl for 2 or 3 weeks now. She's very nice, just a bit dull and I really want to get rid of her in the nicest way possible. This should be really easy but I made a terrible error at the weekend and slept with her gor the first time. Priblem is now she thinks we are an official couple and heeps telling me how much she loves me which is very glattering but also slightly suffocating. She's texting me constantly and then calls if I don't reply straight away to ask me what's wribg, It's driving me crazy! I haven't fed her any lies or false promises, I just don't want to hurt her. How can I leave her in the most humane way? I would normally just ignore her and hope she goes away in this situation but I've decided to stop being an a*****e and finally become a man!

The best answer to the question lies in knowing when does a girl dumps a guy. Lets discuss those points one by one; 1. A girl will dump you, no matter how much you love her, if you are a boring person. 2. You will become a boring person to her if you discuss with her topics that are boring to her. Like, sports, technology, career or other girl. Now, do these things and see her reactions, if she gets bored then viola!! guess, this should solve your problem in human way. she will feel that you have been a bad choice for her and she won't get hurt if she decides to break away.

Hey, if you don't want it that way then you have find other way. Have you heard about the law of attraction? It says a person gets in life what he/she really want. So if you don't want her in your life then you can apply the law of attraction, imagine yourself with someone else. Also imagine her with someone else and you two as the good friends. Fake it till you make it. It is the best solution. Just believe in this law and you will see the results. Good luck to you.

That's true but this is not the proper way of dumping her. The best way is to tell the things I feel about her. Your way will only be avoiding the things that are correct to do. It is the way but in this situation I think that this is not 'the solution'.

Honestly, there is no gentle way to do it. How can she love you after 2 or 3 weeks ? Mind you, I don't know how long you have known each other, but still. You need to sit her down and tell her that you are very flattered that she thinks that she loves you, but at the same time you feel abit suffocated. Honesty is the best way to go. If you just ignore her, you'll look like a jerk, but if you stay with her just to avoid hurting her, you'll end up resenting her and eventually end up becoming like a jerk to her. Just be honest with her. Tell her you find her sweet and nice, but that the chemistry just isn't there like you thought it was. Hope all goes well

Nice thinking and you are right. We will meet this week on a drink or somewhere and I will have to deal with it. Hope it all goes well. But I still don't want to see her sad because of me... Damn man..

I know you don't want to see her sad, but think of it this way.... if you prolong it any more, then she'll get more attached and her feelings will become deeper, and then she'll be even more hurt.

If you don't like her anymore then the best thing that you should do for her and your sakes would be just to talk to her and explain that you just don't feel the same way as you used to any more about her. You're doing neither of you any favours by staying in a relationship that you're unhappy in, because if you break up then you could at least both have the chance to be happy with someone else rather than staying with each other just because neither of you feels as though you can talk to the other about how you're feeling about everything.

Just introduce her to your another 'dull' friend, may be they will fall in love in first sight, that is the most humane way to dump her without hurting her feeling, after all, you must have know more boy other than her, after that, she will not drive you crazy by texting you whole day and night anymore, she probably will be too busy 'socializing ' your other friend. On the other hand, you don't have to make false promises and tell lies right off her face, it is the best possible outcome for both of you and best advice you will ever get so that you can finally become a 'man' .

Wow zassx1337, If this girl is claiming to love you after 2/3 weeks, I would want to break up with her too. Lol, she is moving too fast. The best way you can do it is to sit her down and let her know how you feel and why you feel that way. DO NOT text it to her or write in a letter. You'll come off as a punk. You don't want to hurt her feelings but you have to let her know that it just isn't working with you two. Please don't ignore her, that would just be horrible and she might start to stalk to. Lol, i'm just kidding. But seriously, be honest with her and stand firmly behind your decision. Good luck (:

Since you slept with her there is no easy or nice way to tell her you don't want a relationship with her and it's impossible not to hurt her. Waiting till it's over is only an illusion. The nicest way to tell it, is to do it right in her face. So make an appointment where it's private and talk together. That's hard but it's not that terrible as tell it to her by email or sms or send a friend over to tell her. Tell her that you do like her but you feel very strongly she is not the kind of person you are looking for in a relationship. She might want some answers and not understand why you slept with her if you don't want to be with her and it' will be hard to give a satisfying answer (without giving her hope again) on that. Keep in mind that she will be sad, angry, confused, but it's better to tell it now as waiting any longer.

He texted me today after lunch (here is now almost 4pm). When I called back he didn't pick up because he was busy doing something. They met up and had a long talk about everything and he hold her his side of story. He was busy so he couldn't tell me more, just that now it is everything okay but that they won't be friends anymore. Will report back when we meet up. ;)

Tell your friend to just be a man. I think he knows how to do it.

If you're don't have the courage to tell her upfront then you can do it through a letter or if you're a bit insensitive through text message. The important thing is you have to tell her and for her not to make a fool of herself.

Hi there and welcome to myLot. I would agree some of the responses and in a calm and gentle way simply say that for now you either prefer some space and or to remain friends. It sounds like she will not want to remain friends, so my suggestion is to say that for now you would like to remain single and that it has nothing to do with her but you are needing the space. It will be hurtful no matter which route you take as you say she is in love with you. It is best to do so as soon as you can because the longer you wait the more serious she will feel about the relationship. With time she will move on and will respect you for being honest. Though it may not seem this way initially, believe it is better to be told the truth then to be cheated and or lied to. Good luck and I wish you success here on myLot!

Though,what you did was bad but if you don't need her,you need to stop attending to her,do not respond to her text messages and calls,through that she will know that you are no more in love with her and from there two of you will stop seeing each others.I think that is the best way to go about it.

You are so cruel. Why do you dump a girl just like that? Some guys out there are trying their best to get a girl and you! You just dump her? How cruel. Sorry but if I'm outraged because I don't like to treat a girl like a toy, girl is very essential to every men because they brings comfort every night, they cook food for us and last but not the least they give us happiness. Well if you are really serious in dumping her then let me be the rebound .

No one likes breaking up with somebody else. You should really be sitting for this issue rather than shirk it. It is your fault to sleep with her when you are not sure about your feelings to her. Now you figure out that she is dull and want to break up with her. It seems like you are not a responsible man. Anyway you are not so bad because you don't want to hurt. If you really want to dump her just tell her the truth. No matter in what way she still will be hurt.But she will get over it.

It is always difficult for a guy to ask for a breakup. This is something I have witnessed from my peers. Asking for a breakup is never an easy thing to do. And the way for you to goes about with it depends personally on your girl. Whether she is an easy going person who can accept criticisms openly or a an introvert who can easily depress over your request for breakup. No matter what, a girl's heart is always fragile. With this, please bear in mind to be gentle in telling her so. Try to calm her down if she goes crazy with your confession. If this is what you want, be firm with your decision!

Yes this is really an easy situation, what makes it difficult is you do not want to hurt her or what you termed "humane way" which is almost next to impossible. So many ways to cut it but I do not see a way to cut it clean, sorry. I think the best you can do is perform a disappearing act
