9. Selfish remarks: “I don’t get butterflies in my stomach around you anymore.”
“There’s no way for me to recover after hearing something like that, and it just leaves me with an incredibly powerless feeling,” said one guy. This method confronts him with the fact that you no longer have romantic feelings for him. If you add in specific personal shortcomings like “whenever we go on a date, it’s always the same” or “you’ve gotten to be a real slob,” that could help the break-up process go more smoothly.
Of course, deciding to break up is a selfish decision. It’s probably better for both of you if you accept the fact that you might leave him with a bad impression of you before you start the conversation.
