I kinda have this thing about people who don't know anything about relationships messing around with people, who, well, may expect them to have real, actual relationship skills. It's not very considerate to involve yourself in a social scenario that carries social responsibilities--namely, another person's feelings about her significance to you--if you yourself have no idea how to handle this element of the arrangement.

Bail. And do it over the phone so she'll have more reason to resent and dislike you. It's not just that she deserves to have that much at least, but there's no reason for either of you to potentially endanger yourself in a motor vehicle after the end of this relationship. And I wouldn't worry about looking like the "bad guy" to mutual friends. First of all, you're not dating your mutual friends, so their opinion of how you handle your relationships isn't their business and shouldn't be a factor. Also, I get the feeling that the sort of friends you have are not the types to care how you dump a woman. Call. "It's over...sorry." Click. Please consider doing it right after you read this.
