I've been seeing someone for about 2 months, and it's apparent it's not going to work, so I'm trying to think of the best way to handle the breakup. Should I just say it's not working, or should I tell her the specific reasons why? On the one hand I'd want to let her know why I'm ending it, but on the other I don't want to seem too brutal or hurt her feelings unnecessarily. Also I don't want to waste too much time debating whether my reasons are valid or not, as there's basically a lack of understanding between us and I don't think she'd really comprehend my point of view anyway.

Just end it the way you feel most comfortable ending it. I just hope you didn't lead this girl on. You've only been dating for two months. If you guys were intimate, she might take it pretty hard. I hope that's not the case.

 

Good luck!

I don't think you owe too much of an explanation after 2 months. People should never have their expectations too high in the first few months of dating someone new.

 

I don't think she'd really comprehend my point of view anyway.

 

All the more reason to stay away from specifics then. If she wants an explanation just stress that there is nothing wrong with her. You've had a nice time getting to know her, but you don't see this turning into anything serious.
