    first of all, don't break up with him through text messaging or through a friend or any of that crap because that just leads to bigger problems... do it face to face and DEFINITELY not online (aim, msn etc.)

    now that i got that out of the way... this is the type of question you will need to figure out yourself. if you don't feel comfortable around him anymore or you just feel like you don't like him as more than a friend all together, chances are you've lost feelings for him. don't let the fact that his friends might start hating you stop you from breaking up with him, because that's just illogical. chances are, if they are nice friends they won't hate you just because you simply ended a relationship with one of their close friends.

    and if you do go through with all of this, i highly suggest you keep it between you and him. talking about your feelings with your close friends will only start rumors and gossip is not good in these situations

    Source(s): i've had a long time to think these kinds of things over.

    Unfortunately, sometimes love doesn't last forever. Tell him the truth, there's no point leading him on, that'd just hurt him more if he is heartbroken, and he would then have a reason to be disappointed with you. Breaking up is difficult, if your friends are true friends, they'll support and listen to you. You can even still be really close to this guy if you do end up breaking up. Just because you break up doesn't mean you become enemies. Follow your heart

    It seems like you only want to be good friends with him. There is no way that you won't hurt him. Even if you think of a good one, in some degree there will be a hurt there. But at least his heart will just have a cut not shattered or broken. Sometimes you just have to tell him straight up. The sooner the better. About your friends getting mad, well, they're not feeling what you're feeling. They just have to respect that. It's just that way sometimes. We can't love everyone and we can't be loved by everyone.

    Ok, as a guy I will tell you honestly. You aren't doing him or yourself any favors by letting your relationship go on like this. If you are falling out of love with him, and If you aren't attracted to him the way you once were, chances are great that you will never feel the same as you once did. You're feeling wishy washy, having doubts about your feelings and about what to do, trust me, you're heart isn't in it anymore, and it isn't healthy for either of you to let it drag on. Be honest, tell him that you can't do this anymore, that your heart isn't in it, and it isn't fair to him to keep stringing him along. Feelings are going to get hurt, it's just unavoidable; but what's worse? A loveless, unattractive relationship? Or just moving on so the both of you can eventually be in a happier place? If your mutual friends are good friends, then they shouldn't choose sides. If they do choose out of your favor, then they just aren't good friends; are they? Just move on.

    I'm not a guy, but if you do break up with him don't let it drag on and on after you have actually broken up, as the two of you will just feel unhappy then.

    You could try to distance yourself from him before breaking up with him, so he can adjust to life without you, but whatever happens, feelings wil get hurt. If he cares about you, it's unavoidable.

    If you want to keep friends, don't break up with him cruelly, but as you aren't likely to do that because you don't want to hurt him, there's not much else you van do.

    Also think really hard about it before you make the decision about whether or not to break up with him, remember that you have to live with your decision, whatever it might be.

    Someone always gets hurt, you cant be afraid of it, you cant get around it, and you cant waste time being in a relationship and being polite. I've been in relationships where I started to get seriously annoyed with the guy. I let some time pass, see if it would pass, it didn't, so I knew what I had to do. I always trust myself. Trust my decisions. Don't prolong something like this, you're just wasting your time and HIS.

    You just have to say how you feel and do it. You will BOTH get over it, trust me. And one day, some guy will be asking the same questions you have been asking here...about you.

    The best thing to do is be honest with him tell him how you feel. If you stay with him not being in love your hurting him already because your lying to him by not feeling the way he expects you to feel. If he is a mature individual he'll except it and appreciate you for being honest with him. As far as his friends they shouldn't be mad at you because the relatonship you have with him doesn't have to do anything with the friendship you got with them. I've always thought that to stay with someone there has to be somekind of chemistry.

    There is no easy way to end it but try to be honest with him and say what your feeling. If they are a true friend they will understand that you care for the guy but he is not the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. Good luck

    I'm not a boy but I have friends that are ... just tell him the truth your not really that into him. laying to him and keeping him around because you feel bad for him, won't make anyone feel good about them selves.
