7. Do It In Person
Like with any sort of breakup, your friend deserves the respect of a face-to-face conversation about why you’re deciding to end your relationship. "I'm always a fan of the in-person conversation for these types of conversations," says Bonior. Doing it over text/email/Facebook is selfish, and your tone and meaning may get lost. If you really can't handle the awkwardness of a conversation, a digital "this is over" (put more nicely than that, I would hope) is better than nothing.
