You have to speak to him and be clear about it. Be natural, give him valid reasons and why you're no longer ready to spend time with him. Tell him how you exactly feel and make him understand that there is no future that's why it is better to tell the truth rather than cheating with a lie or trying to stay there feeling nothing for him.

If it’s a relationship that has been going on for awhile.Firstly you need to establish your reason to end the relationship, and if you’ve lost feelings or just plain don’t want a relationship don’t make anything up. Tell them the exact truth, so they can move in easier. Once you’ve done that I would advise using some sort of notepad or notes app to prewrite what you’re gonna say so you can edit and choose what you’re gonna say before you say it, that way you make less mistakes. After you’ve explained the reason of breakup in the pre-write tell him you can’t do it anymore and it’s probably best for y’all to split up. However if it’s a shorter relationship or a less serious relationship just let them down easy and tell them it’s not working out. I wish you the best of luck ❤️

Break ups can be very difficult. Telling the truth may hurt, but at least you'll know you were honest and that you won't feel guilt eat you slowly from the inside. Just make sure that they won't do anything stupid after said breakup.

I was going to advise you to use Chris Brown's song. "Firstly, I want to start this off by saying that I love you and this thing aint been a walk in park for us. Listen to your heart baby. You know we should be apart. There's never a right time to say goodbye,but we know we've got to go our separate ways. I really don't feel the way I once felt about you. Boy it's not you it's me . I've kind of ,got to figure out what I need. " OR tell him that you want to break up with him for x,y,z. Tell him which direction you want your relationship to go in.

There is no magic way of doing this without hurting him. There just isn't it. You have to be gentle but honest with him. Tell him you just don't feel the same way about him that he does about you, and that the relationship is over. If he is as lovely as you say he isn't going to hate you. He might feel hurt, abandoned and angry at first and it's important that you leave him be and don't try to make him feel better by giving him any false hope. In the end, hopefully he will realise that you did the right thing and did so out of respect for him, because you did not want to string him along. But you can't make him see this straight away. Tell him. Let him grieve. Keep a respectful distance. Whether there is a friendship possibility in the future is really his decision.

Be honest with him and just sit him down and tell him. Also prepare to also tell him why you want the breakup and what made u do it. Cause this are the answers that he would want to know.

I think the best way is to take out any blame if there is any, and make it about you needing something else. Be gentle, and calm and explain what you need.

Its never easy to break up with someone as we don't want to hurt their feelings. Being honest with him is always the best way! Plan what you will choose to say as well as what response he may have that you don't want to deal with. For instance, he could become angry, in denial, or attempt to bargain with you. Be very clear with your reasoning and avoid confrontation as much as possible. You can say things like "I'm sorry you feel that way but..." or "I see you are hurt..." Either way, be prepared, honest and stick to your belief of what is best for you (and him).

I will begin to say that there is no easy way to do this. Your boyfriend will be hurt and that will affect you. On the other hand - be honest with him, tell him that your feelings have changed and you don't want to be with him anymore. You are doing this out of respect for the both of you.
