Face to face in a kind, empathic, understanding, and firm but fair. Give each other time if both of you want to be friends but if not, then, maybe it would be best for both of you not to talk to each other anymore and move on. Effective communication and honesty is the key!

Be honest about why you are breaking up with said person. Try not to be crude. Express your feeling wholestically.

Face to face, honesty and baring your feelings and emotions after you have thought out everything you want to say. Thoughtfully and respectfully.

Face to face. Calmly. Honestly. As many an old song says, breaking up is hard to do but including any of those maxims in your break up will keep things as good as they can be in that moment. Not getting drawn into an argument, maintaining your cool, being clear about why you are having to do the dreadful deed will also have a bearing on whether your break up is 'successful'; in other words, if you want to remain friends with your, soon to be ex, it's more likely if you try and follow the above rules, it will also help spell out to someone why they are being dumped if you feel they have treated so bad to you that you feel you have no choice in leaving them behind. Expressing yourself rationally will have a huge impact on your own ability to heal after you've had that particular conversation with them. Good luck! And stay strong.

Sit them down and talk to them. Let them know the reason why you wanted to break up with them and try to be as nice as possible.

I don't think there's any "easy" way to break up with someone. I personally think the best way is to just meet up with the person and tell them in a respectful way. It's better to end the relationship than to string them along if you aren't happy in the relationship. Of course it may be easier to break up via text, internet, or phone call, but this isn't always the most fair option for the other person. They may need the closure of a break-up in person.

The easiest way to break up with someone is telling them how you truly feel instead of lying about something. It's better to break up with someone than to stay with them and not love them.

There is no easy way to break up with some one. The emotions involved in a break up are powerful and often times raw. The most respectful way is to be 100% honest no matter what method you choose; however, it really should be face to face and not through a text message.
