ahaha waitttt you do know valentines day is in a few days? If I were you and I care for the guy I would wait a couple days after valentines day and then let him go. but if you must don’t give him some type of cliche excuse like “it’s not you it’s me”…just be straight forward that you want space. Once this break up happens and you still want him as a friend you still must take at least a month off from each other and then gradually make that step back to become friends with random text messages about anything that DOES NOT involve you guys expressing the old feelings you had for each other. or you could take the route of just never speaking to each other lol…that’s if you hate him or something like that. I’m a lil rusty at the giving advice thing b/c i haven’t done it in a while but I hope this helps
