How do I break up with my girlfriend without breaking her heart?

My girlfriend just isn't what I am looking for in a girl, but I don't want to hurt her real badly! I would still like to be friends with her though too! We are like complete opposites, but she doesn't see that! I liked her when we were friends when we first met, but she a different person now that we are going out with her than when we were friends! What can I do to get rid of her so I can get another girl without breaking her heart too badly?How do I break up with my girlfriend without breaking her heart?
Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. Just tell her you feel that you don't have anything in common anymore as a couple and your life is going in another direction now and you feel that it is time that each of you date other people. Tell her she is a good person, but that your life is moving into a different direction and you actually don't want a girlfriend right now. Which is true, BECAUSE , you should NEVER rebound. Meaning get another girl too quickly. It WILL hurt her feelings, and it is unproductive for you as well. Give yourself plenty of time to think of what you REALLY want. When I was searching I actually made a list of must haves in an individual so I wouldn't waste my time. Do you have time that you would like to waste? Make a list. I highly recommend it. Think about your own personality, but temper it with humility. One must not be on the arrogant side. Women pick up on that really quickly and it's a big, big, turnoff. So keep that in mind. And don't have sex with her and then tell her, that's bad form. You can't really be friends, that just isn't in the cards my friend. It rarely works out and it becomes an emotional train wreck. You need to keep a distance for a little while. Good luck. Remember, there's 50 ways to leave your lover. Sorry, couldn't resist.How do I break up with my girlfriend without breaking her heart?
impossible
you don't. there is nothing to you can do to let someone down easy or break up with them without hurting them. you just have to tell them and pray that they take it easily. and do not expect her to be your friend. that is one of the crappiest things that people can do to someone after they break up with them. i don't like you, but can we still be friends? why would she still want to be your friend? being around you is just going to remind her of you. give her the choice and don't be offended if she doesn't want to be friends.
You can get into a major fight with and make her think it's her decision to be breaking up with you. Fight over something stupid so that in the future you can reconnect as friends. Just don't say anything that you can never take back.
* Have things turned around in your relationship?Know for sure that you really do want to break up. If you are simply upset with your partner, you should consider talking about what upset you rather than ending the relationship





*Before having ';the talk'; that ends the relationship, think about the reasons you are breaking up. Your partner will ask you why you want out, and you should be prepared with answers. If you have trouble remembering examples during emotional discussions or arguments, write your reasons down in advance.





*Plan out how long you are willing to spend ';breaking up'; and stick to your schedule. You may even want to arrange an appointment with a friend in a neutral location so that you can say ';I'm supposed to meet John at the restaurant in fifteen minutes, so I have to go now.';





*Sit down with your partner and let him or her know that you need to have a serious talk. When asked ';why?'; or ';about what?';, simply respond that you've decided to end the relationship.





*Expect your partner to do any or all of the following:


---Question -- He or she will want to know why, and whether there was anything he or she could have done to prevent the breakup. Answer the questions as honestly as possible.


--Cry -- The other person will likely be upset, and it will show. It is okay to comfort him or her, but don't allow yourself to be manipulated into changing your decision.


---Argue -- He or she may dispute anything you've said during the breakup, including examples you used in your reasons for breaking up. Don't get dragged into a fight, and don't split hairs. Let your partner know that arguing isn't going to change your decision.


---Bargain/Beg -- He or she may offer to change, or to do things differently in order to preserve the relationship. If the person didn't change when you've discussed your problems in the past, it is too late to expect him or her to truly change now.


----Lash Out -- Whether it's as simple as saying ';You'll never find anyone as good as me'; or as scary as saying ';I'll make you regret this';, he or she is usually just trying to make himself or herself feel better.
