<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

I've never broken up with a guy. I'm only 19 and this is my first relationship so I am very inexperienced. I've avoided serious relationships because someone always gets hurt. 

My boyfriend and I have only been together for about two and a half months. We met at school. While he seems to be seriously into me, I am unfortunately starting to realize that I don't feel the same way about him. I have no romantic or sexual attraction towards him at all. I only like him as a friend. 

I feel like a total asshole for stringing him along. So I've decided that the best decision is to break up with him as soon as possible. 

I don't know know how to go about doing this. I really don't want to break his heart but I know it will be worse to string him along and then break up with him later. 

Would saying "I like you as a friend" be a bit too harsh? Should I just say a white lie and say that I don't want a serious relationship? Or tell him that we need to take a break over the summer? We live in different towns so we haven't met up yet. 

Please, I would appreciate some advice on how to break up with someone.
