What's so bad about text message breakups? A text seems like a clean, practical way to end something without having to talk about it or seeing someone cry or crying in front of someone or something.
People who have been dumped before via text, how did that make you feel? Do you wish you could have seen that person face-to-face? Why? Are we afraid of technology/the future?
-
seems like the best option for both involved
-
probably depends on the serious levels of the relationship.
1 month of dating? yeah fire away texters
1 year of a real relationship? probably deserves more of a heart to heart than a "we need 2 tk a brk"
imo

I'd rather do the second one after a long term as well. I mean, what's to discuss? plus would save some people from the sad attempt to save it.

I think text message breakups should be reserved for the mentally unstable. And you should never be in a relationship with someone mentally unstable longer than a month.

I can always trust mocat to get it 100% right 90% of the time.

I generally would take my exes to a nice place when I broke up with them and buy them dinner. Maybe I'm just too nice, but I mean, it seemed like the least I could do if I was going to ruin their whole week.

Wackycat was an innocent in that. Don't shoot the messenger.

I think you guys are being harsh. My IRL friends loved it. One still shows me the picture every time he sees me.

I like to have frank do it for me.
I need a recap of emo's creepiness.

True, but that isn't why I prefer to do it that way.

But why? What are both parties hoping to gain from a face-to-face?
I'm assuming that in a long term relationship, attempts to salvage it have already been attempted face to face. If you get to the point it can't be salvaged, just put it out if its misery with a clean shot (text).
-
I like the face to face because it kinda slams the door.. ya know?

Feedback is nice. Sort of a opportunity for lessons learnt. That's assuming people are mature enough to give honest feedback and receive it without throwing a fit.

so you're saying there needs to be face to face talk(s) before the text? ok same page here

Emotional closure, I would guess.
Also, respect, imo.

only if it's, like, living together serious.

I don't understand why telling someone you don't like them to their face is more respectful, or gives that person more "emotional closure", whatever that is.

I'm still working on the text message hookups. :frown:

Seems cowardly to me, but I could see how if you were hoping for it to end and the other person texted it was over, you might be relieved to just move on.

So when Phil Collins notified his wife of a divorce by fax, he was actually a trendsetter. Stud/boss move IMO

I suppose it's a little cowardly, but bravery is extremely overrated. That's kind of another thread.

I broke up with a girl over AIM when I was a freshman in high school. I thought it went well. We got back together a week later and dated for over a year.
-
fun fact- ksc has never broken up with a girl. all of them were either mutual or i got dumped. closest i ever got was the girl starting and then i walked out. i count that as mutual.

I send a form letter but via courier. I have a wax seal I use to class it up.

I think duration of relationship makes a difference. A date or two, text seems like it would be okay. A month or less, a call seems alright. Longer than that, I think you should go out for a cup of coffee.

Who in the world gets exclusive after a date or two?
-
i broke up with a girl i had been dating for 2 years with an e-mail. pretty sure she was in jail at the time, so i'm not real sure she got it.
