What is the best way to break up with someone?

Please be serious. No jokes.

We have not been dating long, but we have revealed a lot of secrets to each other and so I think he feels very close to me and might already be in love with me.

Also it is a long distance relationship, so I will have to do it on the phone.

What should I say?

Letting him hate you a little might work (don't purposely self-sabotage though, obviously). It will be easier for him to move on/accept the break and find some solace. But honesty is the best policy, especially since it's over the phone. Just tell him how you feel and why you want to break up.
