how do tell a guy if you want to break up with him but not hurt his feelings? I am in a situation right now where he still likes me but I don't exactly like him and there is this guy who asked me out and I said "yeah sure" and my "boyfriend" was sick that day and then he found out and somehow i need a way to say sorry and break up with him

It's good to do your best to be kind, but you can't make it 'not hurt'. If you try to make it 'not hurt' him you'll end up causing confusion and even more pain.
The right way to do this is the simple, straightforward and completely honest way.
Be direct and clear: Let him know the relationship is completely 100% over. Don't let there be any doubt. Don't ask to be friends unless you want actually want to be friends.
And yeah, you should apologize for accepting a date with somsone else before breaking up with him. That really sucks. At very least you could have told the other guy you'd get back to him. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]

Breaking up is never easy on anyone, but being honest can help the other person deal with it faster. My advice would be that you tell him the truth in the kindest way possible, and show him that you really are sorry. It might make it a bit easier.
If you don't think that way would be ok then you could tell him you weren't serious and that you were just flirting around or something, depending on your situation
all the best [ its_me's advice column | Ask its_me A Question ]
