she's your friend.
this is the hardest breakup reason in the world.
but you must not live with her or lead her on
you must in fact end the relationship.
sadly she will be so heartbroken she will probably want to go NO CONTACT at least for a while so be prepared for that.
be prepared for crying, asking why, begging pleading.. etc.
you must BE STRONG and honest...

You should break up with your girlfriend. There is no other alternative here. Just be gentle when you do it, and let her know that while you feel friendship for her, you feel like you want to go in a different direction.
It's good that you don't want to cheat on your girlfriend. Stay with that thought, and do the hard thing and break up with her. It will be rough. It won't be pleasant, but keep it short and don't draw it out. Resist the whole "We can still be friends" line, because you don't want to just be friends. A breakup is a clean break, because what new relationship can handle regular contact with an ex?
Don't minimize it out of guilt. Be gentle, but final.
