The very best way to dump someone

If it depends on science

Dumping a fling is just a little different. It certainly doesn't fall under the category of ‘fun activities’, but if you don't feel it, then you just don't feel it and there's no point in continuing. However, if this is about someone you've been with for a longer time, who comes over to your family and vice versa, and you know each other's friends, then it's a bit trickier to make the step ‘I love you, but I'm not in love with you’. And the how-part of the break-up remains tricky as well. If it depends on science, there is only one way to best dump someone, and it actually makes complete sense why that way is the best.

Get straight to the point. That's it. Don't make it a long story, don't try to sugarcoat it, just say right away that you want to break up. Science Daily also indicates after a study on break-ups conducted at Brigham Young University in Utah that you start with the ‘we need to talk’ spiel so that the other person is prepared for the fact that there is not such good news coming, immediately followed by the message that you want to end the relationship.

Yes, it can get messy. Arguments will arise, accusations, you name it, but over time he will appreciate the way you did it. That you didn't spend half an hour on small talk before you let such an emotional bomb explode. And once it's over, you check off these nine things and then hopefully you are rid of your heartbreak as soon as possible. And if you think at some point in the near future that you feel like trying out the most popular way of dating, then you score by mentioning guacamole the most dates. I kid you not.
