Not unlike the situation presented here recently by another enquiring mind, the dude's birthday is this weekend and she had made plans to cook him birthday dinner. She's prepared to go through with this (the dinner thing), but thinks it's probably better to just call it off beforehand.
The question... (she acknowledges how junior-high-school this is, but whatever -- I told her I knew the perfect place to get the answer to junior-high-type questions) is, what's her "lead-in"? Just launch into "I don't want to date anymore?"
Board, don't fail me now!!!

Oh my God, I think I'm dating your friend! My birthday is this weekend! Oh boy, I'm good at this.
First:
Sweetheart, let's talk.
About what? Well, I don't see this going anywhere.
Why? Because I honestly don't feel as strongly as I should, and its not something I can help. Sorry, really.
Don't worry, I've wanted her to do this for some time, so its all cool.
Wow, whudda thunk it.
Hello
