Yes, it's selfish. If you are with someone you don't care about you are doing it strictly for yourself. You may think you are doing it for them to protect them from getting hurt or something, but you're not. Perhaps you are doing it to protect yourself from feeling like a jerk when you break up with them. Or maybe they do something for you - good sex, buy you things. . . regardless of why you are staying with them it isn't right.
If you don't care about someone, and you know you won't you have to give them some dignity and break up with them. Maybe you're waiting for them to break up with you, but sometimes people will hang on. Hoping you'll see how good the relationship is, how good they are to you, hoping if they do enough, if they try hard enough, you'll suddenly wake up one day and realize that you feel the same way. If you know you don't care about them, and you aren't going to you have to end it, so they can move on.
It's not easy, but you can't expect to go through life without hurting people. Sometimes you'll be the dumpee, sometimes you'll be the dumper. That's life. You can't stay with someone if it isn't right.
However, after reading above, I do want to add if you're in an extremely serious relationship, such as you are married or have kids together it is more important to try and work through the relationship. If this is the case I think you probably did really care about the person at some point and it would be good to seek counselling to see if you could resurrect those feelings.

It is if you lead him to believe that you DO love and care about him. Living a lie is always bad. It's only a matter of time until he gets hurt.

My answer is "yes". I do think it is wrong but men do it all the time. Besides, who is the Einstien when it comes to the definition of love. I'm sure he knows that you don't care about him. Who knows, he may not even care about you. The two of you should just enjoy the ride.

I think that they're you're playing with his heart, and that is not right at all. Sooner or later you'll leave someone that you don't love. Why not sooner instead of later ? You're leading that man on, and that's not right at all. Think how you'd feel if someone whispered sweet nothings in your ears for years, you gave them your all...boom the bomb hits! and all of a sudden said they didn't love you...I think your heart would be crushed, broken, and pulvarized into twenty million pieces.

This can be very problematic, especially if he is led to believe that you are interested and are open to developing a relationship with him. The best thing to do in these types of situation is make sure there are no misunderstandings about how you feel about him.

To do something like that is to degrade your dignity, make a mockery of love, disgrace the female species and all in all to really let down your dignity. If you are in this situation, stop this. it is best for you to get out.

How do you know that you don't have feeling for him. You may say not but if that is the reality .What are you doing? You must love your self first. And may be he is doing the same to you. Think about it.

Obviously it is amoral. No one should be with anyone they are not comfortable with. Yes, that includes idiots who marry for $$$$$ & think they won't pay a price. "Better to live in the serenity of solitude than be with a parasite!"

Well, if you don't love or care about him, why bother with him? However, if it is just for sex and he knows it and feels the same way. Go for it.
