What do you normally say to someone you don't see a future with? How to break it to them gently? (Page 2)

[Desconhecida]

I say exactly this. I don't see a future with you. Period.

[Nuespeed]

Pffft my ex gave it to me straight. "I dont see a future with you" but honestly there isn't really a nice way to put it :/

[perezden90]

Nothing but the truth and all truth be ferm to avoid on and off relations no games

[KeshYeLetehBesh]

You don't. There's no gentle way. There's only telling them the truth, being honest. The further it's dragged out, the worse it gets.

[doitson]

Say exactly that, be honest. The longer someone is led on the harder it will be for both people... as in, harder to leave for the one who wants to and itll be harder for the one who was left to get over it.

[knt1432]

Just tell them that your simply not intrested they want the truth instead of dinding out that you lied later on

[GizZzmo]

I walk up with glasses on.. and say, hey baby! Welcome to dumpsville population... you.

[Asker]

Really lol

[GizZzmo]

No, I'd get slapped to shit...

[Asker]

Haha

[gclark2708]

I tell them on my deathbed after we've been together for 50 years, 'I don't see a future with you'

[Pats1213]

Well my ex seriously said my dick was too small. Im in therapy now

[Asker]

Well she was doing it to make you upset, was you the one doing the dumping?

[Bhawks1213]

She said my dick was too skinny. Im 6in length and 4.6in girth

[Asker]

@Bhawks1213 she just saying to make you upset

[Pats1213]

Let me ask you. Is 6in length and 4.6in girth that small

[007James007]

Start off by saying its not you, its me lol then say the truth how you feel and you want to end things on a good level like adults

[Asker]

I thought the "it's not you, its me", what people in the movies say lol

[BareTruth]

Well I’m just honest with it up front and blunt when I need to make a point

[Mcstroj]

You do it like you pull of a bandage. Right off! With one motion. It hurst the least amount. :-(

[HappyWheels]

This isn't working out. I'm not happy. It's time for us to break up and move on. Byyyyye!

[Smegskull]

I don't. I consider "breaking it to me gently" as a synonym for "patronising me".

[Asker]

But if the person does not want to hurt your feelings? Or would being straightforward and harsh be better? For you?

[Smegskull]

Straight forward and concise. I am as insulted by people putting effort into not hurting my feelings as I am by people putting effort into hurting my feelings as much as possible. Mainly because those efforts take up more time and there's not much I can't stand more than people wasting my time.

[Asker]

Yeah there is no right way going about it

[Anonymous]

I don't. I usually am harsh.

[Asker]

That is good though as being straight forward they will get the message. My first attempt the kind way does not work and they still pursue me. Then after I be firm they get the message

[wandererr]

Just stop texting or look for any reason

[Asker]

It does not work, if the person knows where your work or live and they want an explanation.

[wandererr]

Punch his dick off then

[AlexDelux]

"Look this obviously can't work."

[deric_97]

Make it blunt.

[bigjims88]

Just be honest and straightforward the only way

[laughingmale]

Simple make him friend

[Asker]

Sometimes they don't want that
