Tell him the truth, but tell him you really care about him and want to remain friends, do it in private so he is not embarrassed and come to an agreement to keep the details of your relationship confidential. If he is mature enough, you may well stay friend’s indefinitely. I had the same situation and it work out well for everyone, although it was upsetting for a couple of weeks. Make sure you still do things together afterwards, but avoid anything that might be misconstrued as romantic in the first few months.

Thats is not true! You could be going out with someone for however long and still be thinking about someone else you would want to be with, its totally normal! There is a boarderline though. It seems that you do care about your boyfriend but it does not seem like its so seriouse between you two. You are still very young. Only 16 so you said that you been with him for 2 yrs but dont love him, you only care about him. So maybe its that time to start somthing neew and see how it goes with the boy at the hair salon vus you will never know until you try.
