<human>: Throwaway account, since a lot of my friends know I reddit. We're 19/20, female(me)/male(him). Almost exactly a year ago this boy from my high school and I became friends through a shared friend giving my number to him, thinking we'd 'get along well.' We used to hang out at playgrounds at midnight just chilling and talking and stargazing, etc. We really clicked. Near the end of the summer we started a more physical relationship and now refer to ourselves as 'bf-sh/gf-ish' since we're sort of dating, but not really. It's sort of a complicated thing that seems to be accepted by the two of us. Yes, he and I should really talk more about this. It's not an open relationship though, we're exclusive.

We went to different colleges, and would text and phone often, and we'd visit each other occasionally. But now that it's summer and we see each other almost everyday, I'm realizing that I see him as more of a friend than a boyfriend. Neither of us are very romantic people, so we're really not 'cutesy coupley,' and there's just a general passion missing in the physical side of our relationship.

I think he puts more value into this relationship than I do, and I don't want to be a bad girlfriend-ish and do something I'll regret, but I really don't want to lose his friendship, since it's one of the most genuine, perfect-for-eachother-as-friends friendship I have. How should I go about ending this without losing him as a friend?

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Friends started dating-ish long distance. But we're not right for each other romantically. How do I go back to just friends?
