Online Dating

So I done something stupid.
I started online dating and in the last 3 months I been talking to two guys. I have only met up with one of them a few times and like him more.
The other guy I feel really bad like I lead him on. How do I "end" something that hasn't really started cause I feel so bad.

It sounds like you're in a bit of a jam. I've been in this situation before, and I've always found that it's best just to be honest with the other person. Gently let them know that you think they're a great person but you don't want to pursue a relationship with them. You can give your reasons if you feel comfortable doing that but you're under no obligation. Like you said, you can't end something that hasn't really started!
It's totally normal to feel a little guilty or like you're leading someone on but just remember, you've done absolutely nothing wrong. Dating is all about exploring your options and figuring out what you want.
I agree with @chubbydumpling, sometimes honesty is the best policy
I just wanted to add something else.
Try not to feel bad. Especially when online dating. Online dating allows you to date with ease. You seem interested in someone and not interested in the other person, which was likely to happen. Rejection is an expectation when dating so please try not to worry about this too much. We don't like everybody and everybody doesn't like us!
Happy dating!
