I don't feel the same

Me and DP broke up. Its been 2 months. We have seen each other in a friend capacity and it was nice. I didn't want to be back together. Ex then kissed me and I felt nothing. Ex said they felt butterflies. I don't know how to tell Ex without breaking their heart that I don't feel the same. This is not a nice situation to be in and I don't want to string Ex along. I feel sad because I know once I told them that they will no longer want to be in my life. Which is understandable because Ex has feelings still.

Stop meeting up as friends for a start. No need. Especially when one still has feelings. Be clear on your stance and firmly but kindly say that the relationship is over and that it's best you don't stay friends as you don't want lines blurred.
I appreciate you don't want to hurt them, but by being friendly, chances are this will do more damage.

If you continue to see them, you will be stringing them along. They need the chance to get over things and that's without you in their life. Then you can both move on.

I know I'm being unfair. I guess because I don't have many friends and I spoke to them about everything that I'm scared of losing that close person. Again I know I'm being selfish

You are going to have to rip the plaster off. Sorry, but it is going to hurt.
