I love my girlfriend, but recently we have become distant (we have a long distance relationship, I'm in college, she's in high school). I have been thinking about us for the past week ever since she mentioned taking a break. At first I was upset that she wanted a break, and then she said she didn't and she thought about it and said she fell in love with me all over again. But I had been thinking about actually breaking up with her. I'm pretty sure I want to end things now. I have moved on and just don't see her as I used to see her. I want to be single for a while and enjoy life. How should I go about breaking up with my girlfriend?

 Yes, just be straight with her. Don't keep contact at all if you can do that otherwise you will be locked in a cycle of guilt or feeling sorry for her. End it properly though and you will get respect for that. If you both are meant to be together there will be a way because wild horses won't keep you apart. So let her know you are finishing and get on with your life, see how you feel without her in it. Hope this helps.

Well it's good that you've seen this now. There's no easy way to break up. that said, meet her face to face, look in her eyes and tell her it's over. Keep it very short, controlled, polite and calm. Then, you'll need to cease all contact with her to allow her to move on. Don't give her any false hopes. I know this sounds cruel, but it's really the only way to do it. She'll be upset, yes. But she'll get over it so long as you make sure you don't have contact and lead her on.
