How do you break up with someone you still like?
I'm young and I just started going out with this girl and I've come to realize that I am her rebound, I really do like her and would love to continue our relationship but I just can deal with the fact that I'm a second choice, an option other than a need
So you would I break up with her in a way we would still be friends and that would be easiest for my to handle, and I suppose leave the option of getting back together with her open (though this might just be me being stupid)
That's the thing, I'm not sure she has any emotions invested in our realtionship and I not want to be the only one who does. I think she just needed a friend more than a boyfriend after her breakup.

If you love her, you'd get over that fact and trust that she loves you. Your pride might be hurt, but breaking up with her wont help it anymore. Just one less thing you love.
Unless she directly told you "oh, you were my rebound", you shouldn't dump her.
If you dump her for that reason, she might never come back to you.

I would basically sit her down and tell her what you just said. "I really do like you and I would like to continue to go out with you, but I feel that I'm only your rebound and I don't want to be." She'll have one of two reactions: one she will deny it and possibly wake up to how great you are or two, she'll confirm it and you have a decision to make. At that point, you can say, "Let's just be friends until you figure things out, okay? There's no use in either of us getting hurt and I want you to be able to think about it and make the right decision." Easy and to the point without being hurtful. You respected her and she will definitely give it thorough thought about going back out of with you when she is ready. Good luck!
