I'm 14 and I have a crush. He likes me back and already said those 3 words to me. We planned about the future and he asked if he could ask me out the next school year. I believe I said something kind of "Yes" and got his hopes up. We called and did a lot of stuff together. He loved me since we were in 5th grade and now, over summer, I kind of found someone else and lost feelings. He kept on texting and I kept on ignoring it. Even though I loved him for 4 years straight. I need your help, how could I tell him how I feel without hurting him? Well I think he kind of deserved it because last year, when I came back from Singapore, he didn't talk to me since then. I was hurting for a year straight but never gave up until he came back and started talking to me again. Does he deserve my lost feelings? Even though the answer's yes, I couldn't hurt him simply because Im not that person. HELP!

Would you lie to spare his feelings? That would be wrong. Just tell the straight up honest truth, as respectfully a possible.

Its going to hurt anyway, so why lie and make it worse?

Tell him the truth. I'm sure he will get over it. It does no good to lie.
