I understand what you're going through...it's happened to me before.
The hard part is if you're great friends with the guy, you don't want to lose him in your life. I suggest thinking about this a little before acting on it. Try to decide how hard he'll take it. If it's still possible to have a friendship after breaking up and he won't be too devastated, go for it and break it off. If you think he might take it a little hard though, try to stick it out a little bit and let him down as lightly as you can, reassuring him of the friendship you want to still have with him.
If you think that someday in the future your friendship with him might blossom into more, just tell him you need some time before commiting yourself to someone (kind of giving him some light at the end on the tunnel).
But hands down, it's about being honest to yourself and trusting your feelings. It might be hard to let down a friend, but it's not worth you suffering a relationship when your heart's not in it.
