I just can't find the op to break it off with her!

[Hasty8]

I figured I would give you all a laugh by detailing my history with this chick and my current in ability to break up with her:

She is my friends cousin and she and I started dating last year, right after new years. On and off for the rest of the year, nothing spectacular. She saw people and I saw people.

As we approached Christmas I deceided that there really wasn't anything there so I figured I would break it off but so as to not be a total heel I decided to wait until after New Years. New Years comes and goes and two weekends ago I was supposed to take her out to dinner and give her the ax.

Wouldn't yah know it but I had to travel on business and was required to leave that Thursday. That was the 13th. I figured I would take that time and basically not contact her. she would probably get the hint and things went well. I figured she went off and found someone else cause I never heard from her. No phone, email, nada.

Man, was I wrong.

The emails have been coming fast and furious today and what's worse she's talking like we're married. I'll be back in town this weekend and I'm really thinking of giving her the ax now but it is rather close to Valentine's Day.

I'm torn.

Wait out the month and be nice or break it off now.

At this point I'm willing to break up with her over email but that would be just so wrong.

I know what I have to do. Just have sometime before I leave for the airport and I thought I'ld give you all a laugh.

I have actually talked to women who would prefer you give them the axe in private, by phone, or by letter (written, though e-mail might be ok).

They say that breaking up with someone in public, expecting them to maintain composure - theres bound to be some emotion, expecting them to not vent - yell, cry, whatever is extremely cruel.

Opinions? Not an issue now, last woman I gave the ax got the idea when I served divorce papers - that works to btw . Of course she had a boyfriend so not as much fun

Just tell her your busy with other hot babes and if she's cool with that :Tup:

If there's nothing there, don't try to be a nice guy and "save" her from the hurt. Whether it's before or after a special occassion, she's going to be hurt regardless. The sooner the better so both of you don't waste your time.

Do it before Valentines day. Hell, I broke up with a girl on Thanksgiving once... (I do regret breaking up with her- not because of when but because of why.) And no, I have no shame.

[lord1234]

hook up with other chicks in front of her...that works wonders!

I broke up with a woman once, on her birthday.

Of course, I forgot about it.

Get this months issue of Maxim, It gives you the steps you need to break up with a chick and has lots of good hints...

Or just do what countless others do.. sleep with her sister or her best freind, will make "when to break up" question go away.
