How do you break up with a girl you really respect?

I really love this girl, but I am simply not ready for a relationship. I hinted the other day I needed some time to think, but she's still pushing for more (moving in, etc.). I think breaking up will devastate her, and need some suggestions on a soft way to do this. In public, at her place? etc. I don't want her to feel left out or second best....How do you break up with a girl you really respect?
Tell her when u two are alone, Don't humiliate the poor girl. Tell her ur simply not ready for a serious relationship, tell her u don't want to hurt her but by being with her ur giving her false pretences. Be honest with her, honesty is always the best way to go at anything. Tell her u love her a lot but as a friend. Just be honest and words will coem easily from ur mouth.How do you break up with a girl you really respect?

you got it good so keep respecting and ...you really dont do it you'll regret it later if you do...
It's wonderful that you are thinking of her feelings. Tell her the truth. No matter what you do or say, it will be very hard for both of you, but in the end the truth will be the best. You never know when you are ready to commit, you may want it to be with her, so don't burn any bridges.





Tell her exactly how you feel, all of it. Tell her you care about her and don't want to hurt her, but you have to be honest about how you feel. I would do it at her place, where she can feel most comfortable. That way if it does upset her, she isn't out somewhere where she isn't comfortable.





Remember to tell her what you said on here too, that you really respect her and treat her like the special and wonderful person she is. It sounds like you are really trying to go about this the right way, just remember to be true to her and yourself.





Hope this helps. :)
