[mrmcdonaldduck]

hey vt, could you please help?

i've got this friend who i've know for years, but i dont want to be his friend anymore. cept i dont know how to tell him i dont want to be friends any more.

Are there any suggestions on how to break it off gently?

The question that must first be addressed is, why do you not want to be his friend anymore?

The best approach to take, often depends on one's situation.

Don't stop being friends with him. If you liked him before you should still like him now. If he's behaving in a way you don't think is good just tell him without making him feel bad. Keeping friends is important.

i think if you need to ask how to tell someone u dont wanna be their driend without hurting threir feelings u have to think if u rele wanna break up the friendship

Well, Jason, make sure you really want to stop being friends with him.

Then, maybe slowly stop talking to him and eventually, you'll grow apart. That sometimes happen without we even knowing. That's the worst thing... :(

Before you even try and break apart your friendship, you should think about why you dont wanna be his friend. once you have identified that, talk to him about it. if its the way he acts, what he says, who hes involved with, or just his attitude recently, talk to him about it. if you two were really good friends, then he should understand and make an effort to fix it.

and if he doesnt want to fix it, and i know it will suck, then u just have to tell him that you cant be friends. i kno you will be hurting, and maybe if you just put it out like that, he will get it. who knows?
