He is my first boyfriend so tell me how to dump him without making him cry... ;)
1. Do it yourself. In person. Don't text them, email them, tell them over the phone, or even have a friend do it for you.
2. Choose a place where your boyfriend will be able to get emotional (since he cries) or ask questions. You owe them the opportunity to talk to you about why you're letting them go.
3. Allow enough time for your partner to process the information. Remember, you've known for some time that you were going to break up, but it might take a few minutes for your partner to be okay with the news.
4. Be respectful.
5. State your reasons for breaking up in a straightforward but thoughtful manner.
6. Don't suggest you two can remain friends if you have no intention of doing so. Using this line is a cop out and will only serve to give your BF false hope.
7. Wish them the best, and mean it.
8. Don't play emotional games after the break up. It's natural to be lonely in the days immediately following a break up, but don't use that as an excuse to call up your ex and toy with the idea of getting back together.
9. Give your ex some space.
10. Stick with your decision.
