How do you break up with someone with grace?

If we've been dating a while, face to face. "Look, this just isn't right for me, so I'm breaking this off."

If we just went out once, and he wants to see me again, I just say, "I had a nice time with you, and I don't see this as a romantic match."

Don't get sucked into explanations. "I'd prefer not to discuss it further. I wish you all the best."

Well it depends on the length and nature of the relationship. Assuming it was a serious and healthy relationship, having a sit down talk where you gently tell them that you wish to part ways and say goodbye is in most cases the way to go.

I once did it through text with a guy who had a history of freaking out any time I wanted to discuss something (obvious) he did that I didn't like. He had the potential to be violent. That text was very final. I didn't fuck around. There was no room for hope in it lol. He didn't respond for two weeks LOL. And he was vindictive when he did and then sorry right after because I didn't care.

Coffee shop. Keep it short and sweet “sorry X I don’t think it’s going to work out”

Depends on how long you’ve been going out. In person or over the phone in my opinion

There are way too many potential factors that could change how you’d go about it. If you want to elaborate on your situation it would help.

Haha, fuck grace, it’s a breakup. Do whatever feels right to you it’s all gonna end the same
