Iv complicated things. Now how do I break-up gently?

Question - (18 October 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 18 October 2010)
A female United States age 36-40, *nteup writes:

I met this guy a few years ago. He was married at the time and we got along well and stayed in touch casually, a coffee every so often but nothing more.

He and his wife are now in the process of divorce with her making the move to leave him. He and i also started spending more time together and I am well aware he is on the rebound. This would otherwise be ok for me as i don't want anything serious with him.

Now we have also fooled around a bit and i'm discovering i don't want us to go beyond friends. I certainly don't want to lead him on either.

I enjoy having him in my life but the sex didn't have a connection. Plus, i'm wondering if being with him to much would keep me from meeting someone i do have a stronger connection with. I have every intention of being up front and honest with him, but can anyone offer advice on how to break this to him gently? He's going through this rough time and i'm worried that all i've done is complicated things for him.

thanks in advance!
