What is the best way to break up with someone who is madly in love with you without hurting them?

sadly, there isn't one. rejection hurts. rejection from someone you think your in love with crushes. the best thing you can do is "break it to him gentally" if you let him down easy it might still hurt a lot, but not as much as if you just all out dump him without explanation. in the long run, if you break it to him easy, it will be easier for him to let you go

You shouldn't. That person could really feel strongly about you, and you're using their feelings to get to someone else.\n\nYou should stop befor someone gets hurt. Pleas,e just break up with them, but give the honest answer WHY. A liar is less appriciated than a truth with bad consequences, trust me.\n\nGood luck. ^_^

Best approach is to be direct! Be polite, just tell them the truth and hopefully they'll understand. Well unless you're with them for very long already and suddenly you fall for someone else...

Seems to me the best way to address the situation is to be forthright and talk to him about your concerns.  If your decision is to move on to find someone more accessible to you, then say that.  There is no real way to break up with someone that won't result in hurt feelings.  But to be true to yourself and the most fair to your boyfriend, tell him how you feel and what you want.  Personally, I would recommend doing it face to face, even though it may be uncomfortable.  You may want to continue seeing one another after talking about it, but if it does end, be able to step away knowing that in the long run it may be the best thing for your both.

I know how it feels and its really hard, but you got to be straight up with the person. Tell him how you feel ( as nice as possible) that way you don't bruise his feelings. Try to be as calm as you can and tell him why you can't be with him, or why you need your space... or whatever the problem is... remember to be yourself and as open and REAL as possible, thats ALWAYS the best way.

As the saying goes " There's no easy way to break somebody's heart" There will always be heartaches and disagreements especially if one doesn't want to let go. What worked for me is remaining good friends with my EX. :-)

I don't think you can break it off without hurting with them.  But you do owe it to them and yourself to be honest with them.  Good luck.

Walk away.  Seriously.  Don't waste your life because you don't wanna hurt her.\n\nI stayed with a girl I didn't love for a year and a half after I realized I didn't care about her any more... why?  Because she loved me and needed me.\n\nIt's lost time, and I'll never get it back.

No I wouldn't just break up with someone because I couldn't spend enough time with them, I would break up with them because of the truth...usually people say one thing and mean another because they are afraid of hurting someone, I don't know why people think that the truth is gonna hurt more then finding out that they are lying but they do. and its stupid.

some things are better left unsaid so just break it off with you'll live in boyfriend and tell him that it's not working out anymore and tell the next guy you made a big mistake but now you know that you only want to be with him and him only

Contemplate and think about the reasons that led up to you feeling that you need to part from them.  Then think about what you want to say very carefully and then tell him.  After you tell him that you don't want to be with him anymore and then why, cut off all communication.

Just be honest and tell him how you feel. Be alone with him and tell him that you really love him and don't want to loose him. Ask him to forgive you and to try to leave it all behind and start over but this time instead of fighting, you guys need to learn to communicate and take things slowly. Don't jump into conclusions because that just makes arguments. Remember communication and trust are the key things to a communication. Trust in him and be honest about how you feel. It will be okay. All couples go through this don't' take it to harsh.
