If things just aren't going well, it might be time to learn how to breakup with your girlfriend. If your relationship isn't working out or you realize that the two of you aren't good together, it is time to put things to an end and move on. When you know how to breakup with your girlfriend you can take the first steps to moving on with your life.

Be sure of your decision. If you want to breakup with your girlfriend you should do it. However you don't want to say that things are over just to turn around and change your mind later. This can cause things to become tense and if you get back together the relationship will be strained.
Find a time to talk to her. The best way to breakup with your girlfriend is to meet face to face. There are other options but you don't want to give her any reason to make you look bad now that things are over. See if she can arrange to meet you somewhere.
Choose a location. Depending on how the relationship was when you go to breakup with your girlfriend you may want to be in a public place or you may want to avoid people and crowds. The decision is yours but most times breakups cause people to react and it is a good idea to guess in advance what you think she is going to do.
Tell her that you want to breakup. Whether or not you choose to elaborate why you are breaking up with your girlfriend is up to you. Whatever you say, be sure to have a calm, collected voice and say what you want to say. Don't drag it out. Be sure to make yourself clear.
Decide whether you will stay and talk or just leave. If you want to keep up a friendship you may want to stay and see if that is possible. If you know the breakup with your girlfriend isn't going to go well you may want to just leave after you have explained yourself.
Don't take any calls. If you know that it is over and you aren't going to change your mind, there is no reason to answer the phone and go over the entire relationship again. If you have something of hers and vice versa you need to arrange for the exchange to take place.
