I'm getting annoyed with questions asking for a nice, non-painful way to reject someone, breakup with someone, or end a friendship.
There isn't one!
Let's face facts here: You've decided that this relationship/friendship just isn't for you [anymore]. If they felt the same way, there would be no dicussion. So obviously, they don't feel the same way. They still think that you're great, awesome, someone they WANT in their lives, in just the way you already are.
And now, you are faced with telling them, "You're not good enough", "I'm not happy with you anymore", or "You've changed/You're not what I thought, and I don't want you around."
SOMEONE is getting hurt. That's inevitable.
So what is the best way?
Blunt, honest, and to the point. If you sugarcoat it, they may not hear you clearly, or maybe they won't take you serioiusly. They might think waiting around and wearing you down is the way to get you [back].
Wussing out and just trying to deal with them to keep them happy isn't the right way either. If you're not happy, it will eventually bleed though and affect them. You're holding both of you back from real happiness by hanging onto an unhappy relationship out of fear of hurting them.
Just gather your thoughts, think of what you want to say, and what you need to say. Stick to facts, and aviod blame as much as possible. Unless they did something really F-ed up that was way out of line and really hurt you.
I always suggest trying to talk out and resolve issues before ending a reltionship of any kind.

Think of it like chopping the head off a chicken in a butcher shop (pleasant I know). It's better to just swing the knife down in one fell swoop then to slowly start to cut which will make the chicken go nuts and flop everywhere and gush blood all over the place. You do it quick and fast and it's over or you try to do it slowly and make a whole mess of it.
I agree 100%.
Nice. LOL Great way to sum it up :-D
... and here I thought one last bend over the desk then switching lanes without signalling was considered nice. Damnit! Err... my bad ex's!
