When you don’t want date someone anymore, you should always show respect. Even when you dislike someone so much your stomach turns, you still have to show respect.
No excuses:
Just dropping someone and not talking to them with no explanation is not only disrespectful, it shows how much of a coward you are. It can be uncomfortable to break up with someone, but if that is what you want then you can at least have courage to tell them.
Just dropping someone and not talking to them with no explanation is not only disrespectful, it shows how much of a coward you are. It can be uncomfortable to break up with someone, but if that is what you want then you can at least have courage to tell them.
With no explanation, the other person will be harmed – it can send people crazy! They might always harrass you, stalk you, talk bad to your mutual friends and family. They will always wonder what they did wrong or what happened to you.
It may seem like a mean thing to do, but a break up provides someone with a down point from which everyone can grow and learn.
DO:
Think over what you want and why you want it. Take time to consider your feelings and the reasons for your decision. …
Think about what you’ll say and how the other person might react. …
Have good intentions. …
Be honest — but not brutal. …
Say it in person. …
If it helps, confide in someone you trust.

How it’s done:
Communicate properly. Be precise.
Communicate properly. Be precise.
The three key things to say are:
1. The relationship is over!
Do not be vague. Say you are not dating them anymore and that you will date other people. Say you do not love them truly. That you hope they will date other people too.
2. There is no hope for the future!
Do not give a false hope. This is very cruel and keeps the person hanging on to you for no reason. They will think they still have a chance with you and pray on it. Give the person CLOSURE.
3. Thanks!
Even when you are not thankful, you should be. This person spent their time on you (and possibly more was spent than just time). So say thank you always.

If you’ve only dated that person for a short while, or even only just one date, they still deserve respect. A text message saying “it isn’t going to work” is good enough (but not good enough for something longer than 3 dates).
Why:
Because how can you respect yourself if you don’t respect others? If you give a good close to the relationship the other person can start to move on properly instead of waiting and wondering all the time.

Difference between a relationship break and a break UP:
Taking a break from relationship commitments is different to ending relationships. If you need a break from the commitments for some reason be careful and precise. If you want to take a break to taste other people, and leave the other person hanging and waiting around for you, you are disrespectful and a coward. Let the person go before you cheat.

It is important to be respectful when you take a break too.
How to communicate a relationship break:
1. Tell the person you need a break for whatever reason. That you are not breaking UP, you just need some time away from relationship commitment (for study, work, family etc.)
2. Tell them you still love them and will come back in a decided amount of time. Make sure you tell them how much time it will take before you contact them again.
3. IMPORTANT!!! Tell them you won’t date or sleep with another person during the break.

You need them to be confident in your partnership so they honour your need for a break. Likewise, they won’t find someone else because they have no confidence in you or your words.
EVERYONE DESERVES RESPECT.
