How can I break up with my girlfriend, though still be friends?

We both work at the same restaurant, and that's how we met, although I feel like I just need a bit of space... :/ and I really would like to still be friends, plus I don't want work to be awkward....do you think she'll break up with me first if I grow a beard, stop showering and I stopped saying I love you?How can I break up with my girlfriend, though still be friends?
Tell her the truth and be prepared to lose a girlfriend and a friend. Most times after a breakup the couple do not stay friends. Too much has gone on between them for that to happen. This is why you should never date a coworker.How can I break up with my girlfriend, though still be friends?
tell her you want to explore your freedom but you want to be friends. it's up to her if she wants to be friends.. you cant make that happen.. you can only put it out there but it takes two..don't be so extreme with the poor hygiene and appearance. that only shows immaturity.hell yes, julie h. i agree with you. i've been there.
No you need to be honest with her, and tell her you would like to remain her friend and you two be able to work together, but you are breaking up with her, you feel you need your own space.
