Here's the Truth: It's More Like 5

I've found the key to breaking up with a guy you've only been dating for a few weeks — and it involves performing a ridiculous number of sit-ups in a busy city park while he watches with increasing concern (and then pretending to pass out while your best friend comes running over with a sandwich and bottle of water) .
I'm kidding, of course.
But in all seriousness, breaking up with someone is never easy. And while there's no one-size-fits-all solution, there are a few things you can do to make the process a little bit smoother.
First, be honest with yourself about your reasons for wanting to break up. Are you really not feeling it anymore, or are you just having a bad day? If you're not sure, it's probably best to wait and see how you feel tomorrow.

Second, be kind and respectful to your partner. This doesn't mean you have to sugarcoat things, but it does mean being honest and direct without being hurtful.
Third, be prepared for a reaction. Your partner may be sad, angry, or even relieved. Whatever their reaction, be understanding and supportive.
