Did I do the right thing?

Hey everyone, first post here, and I know im not exactly a "teen" anymore but hopefully that wont matter too much. I need some advice.

A few weeks back I met this girl online. She was a few years younger than me, young enough for me not to want to date her. We talked and got to know each other a little and we ended up having discussions that were... less than wholesome.

Now that was fine but the problem is she began to feel more for me than I felt for her. In the end she told me she was madly in love with me and wanted to be with me. I didnt have the same feelings for her at all.

Last night, I confessed that I like another girl and that I want to be with her and not this girl. She was very hurt and upset, understandably and said some things that made me feel so bad about the whole thing.

I had tried my best not to lead her on and had told her that I didn't feel the same way as she did. I told her that I might in the future but I couldn't say for sure.

So I guess what i'm saying is, Did I do the right thing telling her?

She said I shouldnt have said anything but I think the way it happened was fairer to her right? Rather than just dropping the bomb of getting together with another girl?

Any advice about what I should do/say to her about this would be appreciated

Aww poor girl xD Yea anyways I guess it was a good idea telling her about the other girl and that you don't feel the same way.
She probably wasn't madly in love with you, she just really liked you and of course she was hurt when you told her about the other girl but she would have been more hurt if you waited longer to tell her.

yes you kinda did the right thing,
if you didn't she might of spend the rest of her life wondering how you feel about her,
