Breaking up with someone? What not to do.

We humans are a funny lot, huh?

...especially when it comes to our relationships.

I recently came across a piece on how to break up and got to thinking about girls I have known.

How about you; dating someone?

How is it going?

...not well??

How are you going to tell him, it's over?

Will you tell the truth or lie.

No one has a good enough memory to be a good liar, so I guess it's gotta be the truth, huh?

I have lied.

I don't like it; I feel like a bozo, but I hate the heat that comes with the truth.

But I've been lied to and I hated it because I knew I was being handed a line and thought, ''...come on soon to be ex-girlfriend, I'm smarter than you're giving me credit for, give it to me me straight.''

If you're thinking about breaking off with someone, the advice from the experts is to not ever say, not ever, ''...it's me, not you''.

Those words will want to come out, but they are sooo transparent.
.
..and please avoid, ''...I just want to be friends.''

Girls, us guys know what that really means.

breakupgirl.net is a website that offers advice of how to get out of a relationship.

White lies are o-k if you've only been dating a short time and regardless of how long you've been together, don't ever tell a whopper, because then you have to work like the devil to keep it going and guys, women are soooo much smarter.

They start to ask questions and before long, with the memories they've got, you will be so done, standing there, mouth agap, looking like a fish on the end of a hook, desparately wishing an earthquake would suddenly happen, to end the madness!

The sole goal of any lie in a relationship, should be to prevent hurt.

Never should it be, to get YOU out of anything.

And the deeper you're in a relationship, the more you have to tell the truth.

Knowing the reason a relationship is ending, saves the one being tossed under the bus the angst of asking that one question that keeps us up at night, makes us lose weight and drives us nuts.

...why??

And sometimes there's no answer to that one, and that's when it ok for you to say to yourself,  ''...IT IS YOU, IT'S NOT ME!!''
