Breaking up with a nice guy is never an easy thing to do. He may do everything you’ve ever wanted, but if you’re still not into him don’t think that one day you’ll just wake up and fall in love. You have to break it off and there’s a right way to do it. Relationship expert Dr. Michelle Callahan gave us her best tips.
