Lets face it breaking up is hard to do. Especially if you know the other person might not take it the right way. However contrary to belief you can break up and stay friends. It’s a matter of still wanting contact that person and making an effort to have it. Follow these tips and you should be breaking up with people and staying friends in no time.
Boys: Listen, you can destroy a friendship with a person by not thinking before you speak. When you break up with your girlfriend/boyfriend make it known that you still want to be in their lives. When in the act of breaking up don’t look angry. This little detail can be an easy one to not notice when you are breaking up. This is off putting to anyone so when saying that you are breaking up can tell a person that you don’t wanna be friends when you really do. The next detail is your voice tone. You don’t wanna sound angry either just stay calm and relaxed. So, remember when breaking up remember your body language and the way you sound when you are breaking up.
Girls: It’s easier for you guys to come off as still caring. However don’t come off as holier-than-thou. No guy/girl wants a sympathy friendship. You also need to be mindful of the way you sound when you are breaking up. Even though you sound like you still want to be friends your voice can say “I’m only doing this to be nice and I really don’t like you” this is not the message you want to convey. You want to send a “I want to be your friend because I want to.” I also recommend standing in a friendly stance as opposed to being slouched. Smile and talk with confidence. Remember, you are not trying to comfort a puppy but an ex boyfriend.
In closing, remember that just because you break up does not mean you have to avoid each other. It just means you don’t have to date. It’s only awkward if you want it to be.
