I can't say it better than Nada Surf already did. So without further adieu:
Three important rules for breaking up. Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to. Prolonging the situation only makes it worse.
Tell [her] honestly, simply, kindly, but firmly. Don't make a big production. Don't make up an elaborate story. This will help you avoid a big tear jerking scene.
If you wanna date other people say so. Be prepared for the [girl] to feel hurt and rejected. Even if you've gone together for only a short time, and haven't been too serious, there's still a feeling of rejection when someone says [he] prefers the company of others to your exclusive company.
But if you're honest, and direct, and avoid making a flowery emotional speech when you brake the news, the [girl] will respect you for your frankness. And honestly [s]he'll appreciate the kind of straight forward manner in which you told [her] your decision Unless [s]he's a real jerk or a cry baby you'll remain friends.
Hope this helps.
Later
Bob
PS This might help, too.
