No matter what, don't do it via IM. Avoid via phone call, as well.

Make sure you're on the ground and not in motion. Lower your arms slowly while making sure she doesn't slip.

That is how you let her down gently.

Those are actually the only ways we have of communicating, as it was fairly long distance.

The deed's done now, just need to deal with the after effects.

Fake your death?

Best wishes, then! I ended a long distance relationship via IM, and it was horrible. But after a couple years, we're (not close) friends, so it all blew over.

Yeah, when it's long distance you don't really wanna spend $100+ just to go tell her "we're done" face-to-face.

I did it over the phone the one time I thought I had a girlfriend. Really, she didn't actually like me; she just wanted anyone. She's a crazy wreck and I've never made a smarter decision.
