I want to still be on good terms with the guy, but I can't figure out how to let him down gently--especially because we live pretty far from each other so we don't get to spend a lot of time together, but we talk on the phone a lot.
You might still try to show him that detail about "I still like/love him a bit". true is I never had a girl before so kidna I can't help much, but if you tell it to him so close as during dance(I mean like hug) it might have good effect. there will be no space between both of you when you will say something like please, forgive me, but I wanna break up.
Think about this just like about hint(its not like guide or complete scenario).
the best way is to give a ton of hints so that it doesn't become a shock and then give him a lot of space and hopefully he will start talking to you again, that's what my ex did to me and it worked pretty well we are normal around each other tho it has been 6 months
thats an easy one actually. dont return his calls dont call him dont go out with him stop having your long conversations but stay nice and don't cheat (if you want to keep him as a friend)
eventually, he'll get the message and breakup with you :)
Be completely honest, he'll take it however he will. You know the guy better than us on this site. I'd want to be told the truth. Don't be blunt, but explain it politely. Whether or not you're on good terms afterwards depends partly on you, but also how he reacts. You might not be able to end on good terms, but you can try.
Your question reminds me of my ex. I'm very sad because this is what she wanted to do to me before too. :( I loved her so much and she did love me too but my friend said that he had seen she asking people on how to break up with a guy nicely way. I didn't believe my friend about that but after a few days that she called me and said she will take a long vocation with her family so she would not be able to get online or call me. First I though what she was saying is true, but I'd been waiting for her more than a month and I realized that what my friend had told me is true. I know that I would never get a chance to chat with her again or call her to tell her that I really love her, and if leaving me can make her happy then I'm willing to let her go.She changed her phone number and email. I'm still waiting for her though, but I know its just a dream. My tears are steaming down on my face now. :((
I feel much better after I've had a good cry! Sorry if my answer seems to bother you.
it is a thing you should do sooner or later because you know that its not easy to keep up with this type of a relationship so, don't make it a lot longer than it should take -prepare a gentle words, so you hurt his feelings as less as possible -maybe he wanted to do the same for the long time but he is just not ready to do so, i mean maybe what you are about to do is a good thing for him also
No man is going to take it gently when they get shot down but don't beat around the bush with it. Come straight out and tell him, gently telling him is only leaving room for him to reinterpret and think there still is a chance to be with you. Be blunt if you have to so he can get the pic crystal clear but be ready for the reaction he gives
your about to break a guys heart, no matter what you say or do, he is gonna blame himself and likely be very upset. I hope you got a better reason that "distance"
There are definitely way better reasons than distance! But it's not really his fault I want to end it, and I know like he took his last break up really hard, so I want to like reassure him "it's not you, it's me" kind of thing. That sounds ridiculous and clich though, so I don't know how else to phrase it or whatever. - 9 months ago

Tell him you wanna sleep around, that the only way he won't feel like the bad guy. - 9 months ago
Just tell him that its not working out and you still want to be friends. Tell him that you guys live to far away and that you can't see him that much. Don't be mean about breaking up with him. If you don't want 2 be with him then don't just make up ur mind up.
Just tell him that its not that he's a bad guy, but that you're just two different eole with different goals in life and that you feel that there is someone better for him that will complement him better and someone better for you too.
you should make it clear that you will do it in person. the worst thing to do is break up over the phone. trust me, breaking up over the phone, over text, over im, over facebook and not in person,...is lame.
so be for real and do it in person. be nice about. tell him he should find another girl who's this blah blah blah and not you etc. and end of story. both of you can move on.
i know it's not easy, but you won't regret breaking his heart even more by using a non-in-person approach this matter.
