  4. kriisco says:

    NO ITS NOT COOL, *****.

  5. eh says:

    depends on how long you were together.
    anything over a couple of weeks deserves at least a voicemail.

  6. Likeomgnoway says:

    dude atleast call her and do it.

  7. CandyCane says:

    That is so not a good idea…..

  8. nina sarafina says:

    no no no never do that

  9. Cynthia says:

    It’s totally babyish.
    If your gonna break her heart at least me a man and say it to her face!

  10. that one girl... says:

    yeah…if you break up via text, you need to grow a dic k. seriously…who does that?

  11. ♥♥muah♥♥ says:

    it is soo babyish! tell it her face, u could at least do that much if you’re going to break up with her

    it is soo hurtful to send a text

  12. eponine1028 says:

    It’s a total cowardly thing to do. Grow some balls and break up face to face. Yes, it won’t be fun, but not all of life is fun.

  13. wow says:

    Totally NOT cool. I **** when guys do that. Jus tell her to her face.

  14. Sara says:

    Oh come on.

    Don’t be a coward.

    Tell her to her face.

  15. stephanie a says:

    You can’t text message break up….you cant text message break up!

    ugh

    deck!

  16. Tea Dollie says:

    No. Not cool. No. I don’t even understand how someone could ask this.

  17. K D says:

    unless you’re Britney Spears then don’t do it.

  18. Kristi C says:

    No it is NOT cool! Just break up with her face to face! Actually, if you don’t want to go to her face to face and you actually WANT to break up with her through a text message, I bet she won’t even care! You’re probably such a horrible boyfriend that she will be GLAD!

  19. i love green eggs and ham! says:

    I agree with EVERYBODY except for “eh”

  20. avasmum says:

    NOT COOL.. you gotta have some balls and tell her to her face… she will respect you more for it and you can maybe be friends. if you dump her by text she will **** you and tell all her mates and then it will get around about what a jerk you are and ruin your chances with anyone else.

  21. heyhey! :) says:

    YOU CANT TEXT MESSAGE BREAKUP!
    That shows your too ***** to do it to her face.
    And also would make her feel like she ment nothing to you.
    tsktsk :(

  22. Emma~ says:

    Definitely uncool. It is really low and shallow to break up with a girl over the phone, computer, or through a text message. Try to face her upfront in person. You will both feel much better about the situation and more comfortable about the situation to come. Please do the right thing and spare her heart. Good Luck!

  23. cpw says:

    what a *** hole if u do come yes thats childish do it face to face be a man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. RAGE MORE!! says:

    thats low.
    tell her face to face.

    just say something like “hey, you know I don’t think our relationship is working out to well, maybe we should go back to just being friends”

  25. i luv monkeys monkey shawtiie says:

    it makes the girl think you are some kind of wossy or worse a big baby

  26. scooter says:

    It is wrong and babyish. If you can’t tell it to her face you shouldn’t do it.
    Think it out before you do it, what you will say, where you will be, etc.

  27. Always Sleepy says:

    That is low, even worse than doing it over aim. People like you who’d even consider doing that don’t deserve a girlfriend. I hope she finds you and slaps you.

  28. xyz.anuptaphobia says:

    No! That is NOT cool.
    By any means.
    If you would do something like that,
    then that makes you a terrible person.
    if you can’t break up with her, then why did you ask her out?

  29. ukgirlandusagirl2 says:

    Thats so mean. Im sorry but it just horrible. Do it in person!!

  30. lala says:

    I can understand why your asking this question.
    I’ve been in the same vote.
    I wrote to an ex boyfriend threw txt, cause i was basically afraid of doing so in person.

    But in the end it isn’t right at all.

    The best thing to do is tell her in person.
    Breaking up with someone over txt is cruel.
    I know i’ve done it.

    But you learn from your mistakes.

    So it’s just best to tell her in person & it will be less harsh.

    hopefully, it’s goes all well darl.

  31. I'm Thinking says:

    That is stupid and offensive. I’d find you and slap you if you broke up with me over text. It’d be easier doing it in person – less anger.

  32. aminiwitch says:

    If you do it by text and not face to face, you were not worthy of the relationship to start with. A good relationship is based on COMMUNICATION not text messages! VERY Uncool and not even as sophisticated as a hand written Dear John letter (or Joan in this instance)!

  33. Jenna I says:

    it’s pretty babyish.
    if a guy did that for me it wouldn’t be me hitting him it would be a mob of big guys.

  34. ♥Na`Cole♥ says:

    That is SO NOT COOL! And its babyish. The best way was to meet face to face with her.

  35. Nikki (Is a yahooligin) says:

    i bet your in middle school. no its not cool its sad. if you cant handle the breaking up your not ready to be in any kind of relationship.

  36. CRAZYYYY160 says:

    I THINK IT IS VERY UNCOOL AND BABYISH BECAUSE YOU DO NOT HAVE THE COURAGE TO TELL HER STRAIGHT UP IN HER FACE

  37. lOri J says:

    i recommend that you write a letter.it shows you actually took your time out…and you dont look like a jerk.you can give it to her face to face and then walk away or mail it to her.if you put something cheesy like a pressed flower or something i’m sure she’d be less angry and stuff.

  38. Simply Me♥ says:

    really its not cool.
    but im gonna say this since i dont know your situation and relationship you and her have had.

    if you think its ok then it just might be, it is kind of imature but who am i to tell you that.
    i tried to break up with my boyfriend (now ex) over myspace But he called me after he read the message and i just did it on the phone.. i THINK or i may have done it on myspace i have no idea lol but the point is if it was a NOT so serious relationship i think its fine.
    i know its wrong of me to say this but it my opionion.

    GOOOOODLUCK

  39. Status; Ballin' says:

    TELL HER ! face to face man. if you cant be a man and tell her then your not even ready for a gf.

    Good Luck !

  40. cat cat says:

    no that will make it way worse and she’ll spead it around that you broke up with her like that and then all the girls will think you a jerk

  41. Beth M says:

    That would definately be a loser thing to do, and with that stupidity you will be alone for ever.!!!!!!!!!!!

  42. mommy2be says:

    That’s mean and childish. If you can’t do it to her face then you are too young and immature to have a girlfriend.

  43. Michelle D says:

    At least call her she can’t punch u through the phone. Gosh you are such a pussy

  44. skating, for sure! says:

    NOOO
    NOOO
    NOOO
    NOOO

    she can still hit you tomorrow!!!!

    That’s uncool and no one will ever go out with you again. yeah, she’ll be hurt, but she deserves to be broken up with in person.

  45. Lars H says:

    You’re a loser if you do… proves you never wanted to put any effort into your relationship. She’s better of without, so at least you’ll have done her a favour.

  46. Ami L says:

    wel i depends how long youv been going out.

    if it was like one of those 1 week things where everyone is scared to hold hands coz they might catch “cooties”
    then just do it!

    if they relationship didnt mean that much to either of you, then the break up shouldnt be a big deal.

    But if it was a serios relationship, and you were both invsted in each other, then text messaging isnt the way to go.

    you need to look at the relationship and figure it out. But either way you do it, you need to be confident and not act like a tool!

  47. Bretagne says:

    Very “uncool.”
    I find it very disrespectful and it shows that you don’t have any balls to say it to her face.
    When you do it through a text message it’s basically saying that you never really had much interest in her, so your just going to type a few words, press send, and BAM it’s done just like that.
    A good relationship is based on communication. Tell her that you didn’t think that it was working out too well and would find it better if you just got back to being mates.

  48. Angel says:

    No its not cool

  49. Smartblonde<3 says:

    omg my friend just got dumped by text.

    seriosuly, that is THE most pathetic thing a guy can do.
    grow some balls and do it to her face.

  50. mesa dentist says:

    It seems that if you have already answered your question. I think you are doing the right thing choice.however do not blame your parents for being old-fashioned, sometimes parents see it really is. Ultimately, God has already forgiven you, and your parents are so good, they simply have not reached that point n time. Good luck and I wish you the best. Remember to treat her like a princess every day of your waking life together, because when he dies, your relationship.
