How do I tell someone I’m not in love with them without breaking them?
I really like this person but I figured out that I like who they are and all their qualities but I’m not in love with them but would hate to lose them as a friend, I feel really bad and I know I should’ve figured this out before I started anything and I know now that this was a really dumb decision 😫

It doesn’t sound like you did anything wrong.
You don’t know if you will fall in love with someone unless you date and see them for awhile.
You just say it. We’ve all had our hearts hurt at some point and we all continue to function after some sadness and hurt. It’s only natural. It would be more unkind to hold onto that person when you know you aren’t on the same page when the kind thing to do is set them free so they can look for there person.
Don’t delay it, just do it.
You just have to do it. And it really sucks to hurt someone you adore, and that adores you, it really makes you feel like shit but you have to be honest for yourself and for them, so you just go through it and go through whatever the fallout is, and if you can both manage an adoring friendship, it will fall into place in the future.
I dated a guy on and off for 6 months, I too didn’t feel anything in love with at all but he was an extremely good person, wonderful heart and would do anything for me but I wasn’t in love with him. I told him exactly this, it broke his heart he didn’t speak to me for abit afterwards but now we are still really good friends.
