Where to Go to Break Up On Valentine's DayGreat Toronto spots for ditching your sweetheart this February 14.Stacey McLeodSometimes faking a whole days worth of sentiment and sweet nothings is just too hard to do. If youre dumping someone this Valentines Day, chances are youve already come to terms with your lack of breakup tact -- but you can still be strategic.

Picking the right location can help set the tone of the breakup so here are some ideas for where you can go to get it over with.

Its Not You, Its Me: Sneaky Dee's
This College Street bar is one of the few Toronto spots where you can scrawl obscenities about someone on the walls and tables without getting arrested. If you want to demonstrate your ultra-sensitive side, you could softly tell them to let it out, then give them a pen so they can vent graffiti-style. (Ive scrawled a few admissions myself in moments of unbearable heartache. Look for them in the first booth on the right.) The music is so loud, if they start verbally assaulting you, other people wont hear and theres a good chance you wont either.

Dumping a Commitment-phobe: The One and The Only
Tell your partner the night is about decoding hidden meanings and then take them for coffee at The One on the Danforth, then next door for drinks at The Only. Wait until they start to squirm before whipping out a baby name book and a highlighter.

Blame Shifting: Various Locations
Are you so non-confrontational that your best breakup strategy is to make them break up with you? There are many ways this can be achieved. Forget to call her, show up late for the date and then take her to Scotiabank Theatre for Hes Just Not That Into You. She can do the math. Or, tell her you got her a ring, pretend to drop it (so you have to get down on your knees to retrieve it) and then give her a bottle-opener ring from Urban OUtfitter Although nothing says lovin like being equipped to crack a beer bottle, Im sure shell want to chuck you after that.

We Need To Talk: The Victory Cafe
Serious chats can be had at this little bar. Single booths along the wall in the downstairs area give the illusion of privacy, but in reality, everyone can hear you. You might want to remember your indoor voices. (Ive personally heard a few breakup talks go on here.)

Totally Random, Where-Did-This-Come-From Breakup: Ferret & Firkin
I have no idea why this is a good breakup spot (or at least a good place for a teary dispute) but it must be because I have seen anguished couples here on many occasions. Worse, Ive even had a few teary discussions over fried food there myself so I can vouch for this. Im pretty sure the servers know to approach with caution.

Drunk and Tired Breakup: New Ho King at 3 a.m.
Afraid you may change your mind come morning? Do it over a plate of fried rice at New Ho King. This Chinatown restaurant is filled with ridiculously drunk club district after-party diners and sporadic people racing to the door to vomit on the sidewalk. Your awkward moment is bound to go unnoticed. If you do regret your decision in the morning, you can blame it on your foggy 3 a.m. head.

The Quick and Cheap Breakup: The Rhino
The Rhinos cheap and usually really loud so nobody will hear you. There is absolutely no ambience here, so you wont be easily sucked into an inappropriate hand-holding, shoulder-lending session when the deed is done.

The Too-Deep-To-Be-Understood Dumper: The Green Room
The Green Room is a good setting for mascara-streaked cheeks and heavy blanket statements about a loveless future. The dark, candlelit backdrop is moody enough on its own and its generally filled with angst-ridden art students who dampen the mood anyway. If you really want to make an exit statement, you could say goodbye and then buy a rose off that guy who is always everywhere on every night selling roses. You know that guy.

Busted Cheater: Jacl Astor's
If you busted your partner cheating and want to make a loud statement on Valentines Day, you could always take them to Jack Astors. Theres the name (obvious) and its inexpensive so you arent wasting much cash on someone who doesnt deserve it. If you want to be super dramatic, you could write goodbye in massive, colourful block letters with the crayons on the paper tablecloths. Or, better yet, you could draw a diagram of them with their lover and you finding out, and the repercussions. Which, of course, are them winding up alone. Then storm out smiling.

The All-Nighter: 7 West Cafe or Fran's Diner
Cheesecake, coffee, dark corners, 24 hours -- need I say more? Theres something about 7 West that makes it conducive to long, overdrawn conversations. All-night breakfast at Frans Diner isnt as dark so it may be better for the lets stay friends kind of chats. At either spot, you can talk all night and get it all out of the way so hopefully, you never have to look back.

The Compromise: Wicked
Hes just not that into you and as it turns out, youre just not that into him either. Maybe its time for a trade-in.
