How to break up with someone?


I met a guy on line and have met him in person briefly, in Philippines. He was a nice person but not really my type and I don't think we are a good match. Apparently he is my boyfriend when all along I thought I was just being nice and polite to him. He asked me before if it is possible for me to love someone like him. My reply was , "why not, when I can even love stray dogs". I never said I love him but it seems that , that was his interpretation, which I realize as the days went by. I have tried to distance myself from him and tried to break up with him but was unsuccessful.

I am never used to breaking up with someone without a really valid reason. I am worried about hurting his feelings and sending him to the damps. Now what should I do when I don't really love the guy? I did not mean to hurt or play with his feelings but he misinterpreted my words, or did he? I kinda went along with him, chatting and talking about his dreams and me giving many suggestions. Now he seem so deeply involved with me making plans and talking about marriage. I'm stuck, I don't have the gut to hurt his feelings but I don't really see myself as his wife.

I am hoping for 2 things either I learn to love him or he finds someone else and leave me. I just want him as a friend and maybe I just feel sorry for him. I don't really love him. I want to fall in love again. That head over heels feeling but I am sure that's not him. Oh boy. what should I do? How do I break up with an accidental relationship?

Just thinking about doing it makes me feel weak. Is it possible for me to fall deeply in love instead and have a happy ending?

That is my dilemma, to continue and let it grow or to quit.

Saying goodbye and leaving a hurt feeling are my weaknesses. I'd rather that he breaks up with me or that I fall deeply for him. He is such a nice guy, I hate to break his heart.

Ok it's done. But why am I so sad about it? I know it's temporary but still sad.

Thanks for sharing your story ta Jane. I know exactly what you meant and I gave myself and him the chance but nothing the longer it goes I can sense that he is falling deeply but I am definitely not so it was better to cut it short.

Mum to her daughter: "Baby open your mouth?
Baby to her Mum : " Yes ,Mama".
Mum to her daughter: " Baby,Telling lies?
Baby to her Mum : " No.Mama"
and the mother hugs the baby so tightly.

Another version :

Mum to her daughter : " Baby open your mouth?"
Baby to her Mum : " Yes Mama"
Mum to her daughter : " Baby telling lies?"
Baby to her Mum : " Yes Mama"
and the mother berates her baby..

It is useful sometimes to tell lies ,but ,generally ,it is harmful.
and, also, it is harmful sometimes to tell the truth but generally it is useful.

Now your premise lies in .Boyfriends and girlfriends telling the truths to each other,therefore,they both love each other.in your case you contradict the conclusion ,lol,lol ,lol

Therefor my serious comment is : break up with him and look for another guy online,whom you like best!!..lol lol

I have done that, as per the threads of comments above. I couldn't stand the lie of being his girlfriend when I don't have that feeling for him other than as a friend.
Look for another guy? Wish me luck.

he is a nice person but not my type. That's what I said. All I want is someone that I can have intelligent and funny conversation with. Someone who can make me laugh and at the same time make me feel loved and cared for.

There's no easy way to break somebody's heart. What's even more painful is to prolong the one sided relationship. Nike says - just do it..

Somehow, I can relate...We have similar situation...But yours is probably more complicated because there is an assumption that there is a relationship going on...But, if I were you, please just tell him the truth...I know it will hurt, but what can I say? The TRUTH can hurt sometimes..

If he is not your type, why do you continue to invest in time with him?

What qualities in him do you see enough to say that you can give up some of your ideals, if any?

For a man to make effort to please you with no prequalifications - that is something! In return, if you feel "any" for him, the question becomes - how much can you give of yourself and meet him halfway?

I have stopped and no longer talk to him as of this date. I can always find some good qualities in a person but not close to my ideals. I don't feel any romantic love for him but I suspected he mistook my response as love for him.
Anyway thanks for dropping by and it's all over and I am relieved. I was finally able to break up with him.

Dont rush. plz wait. may be u can give him negative signals too slowly. Talk about a couple of male friends. And if he asks directly make it clear.
