I know how you feel
I went through that a few weeks ago. I told him that I love him but just not in the way where I want to take the chance to ruin that love I have for him. He agreed and we are best friends.

I was in the exact situation...
That is so weird. I came on here and read that whole thing and I was shocked that it sounds exactly like what I was going through yesterday! What I did was, I talked to him face to face because the phone and especially instant messenger are so not personal. I was dating this guy I was totally head over heels for and for some reason...the feelings sort of faded away. I felt bad, because it didn't make sense to him and I couldn't explain it. I just told him how I felt and asked him how he felt about it and even if you still want to be friends, just give him a couple days to let it sink in. It's hard and it seems like you're the "bad guy" but it's better to do it sooner then later because leading him on longer is just mean. Good luck, I'm still trying to get over feeling bad, but time heals all wounds...don't worry about it sweetie, and just tell him exactly what you said on this site.
Good luck :)

Tell the Truth
Just tell him how you feel and if he cares about your feelings, he'll let you have your way. Just ask if you guys could be friends. And hopefully he'll understand sooner or later!

Yello
Since you can't think of how to tell him, just come out and say it in the nicest way possible. Be true to yourself. If you don't think the relationship is growing, then do what's best for you- leave before it gets too complicated so you don't hurt him and so you don't get hurt

Here's my opinion....
Unfortunately, I think everyone has had this problem with someone they're dating, but here's my advice: if I were you, I'd continue dating him for a short while longer - this may just be a phase you're going through; your feelings for him may come back, or something might cause you to feel a new spark for him. After a little while, if there's still no spark, I'd tell him the truth... Telling the truth can sometimes be hard (especially in situations like this), but it's for the best.

Tell the truth
You should tell him. That might be a little awkward, and it might hurt his feelings, but it's better for him to know the truth. I have been lead on by guys who say they like me and then suddenly stop. It hurts to know that they don't like you anymore, but it feels better than to be lead on aimlessly. If you tell him, then you can both move on.

Got it
My main advice is to just hold your head up high, take a deep breath, take him to a private place (not a date place because he will think, "Oh, we just had a good time and now she is dumping me?!"), and tell him how you feel about the whole thing. Good luck!

You should say something to him as soon as possible. It's not going to be easy, but when I break up with a guy I say that I don't feel like it's going to work out long term in this type of relationship, but maybe we should try being friends. I still value them. I'm friends with most of my ex's and I still like to hang out with them. Just tell him you'd rather be friends right now, and you still care for him--as a friend though. He may be hurt, but if he's genuine he'll understand you're doing the right thing.
