Hello,
I have a friend (who shall remain nameless /points) who needs to dump a girl he has been seeing for a few weeks and he wants to let her down gently, as she has taken the whole situation far more seriously than he has and thought he likes her as a friend he doesnt' want to hurt her.
Now as far as I know that however nice you are about dumping someone at the end of the day you are always going to hurt them.
However I thought i would throw it out to the site massive for thier words of wisdom.
(Also its a bit of an LDR thing (and not THAT serious) so meeting up isn't that feasable)

maybe the old "its not you, its me", "youre too good for me", etc
But he lets her down gently, it wont be shouldnt be too much of a big deal if they have only been going out 2 weeks, she will get over it
Sorry not to have better news for your friend - but it's always worth doing it in the most gentle way possible, because at least it will be easier for the girl to look back on the relationship fondly in later life.
