Just sit him down and tell him straight out how you feel. Don't be nasty or mean about it, but don't soften the blow either or he'll feel like you're patronising him. Just be honest. Hope all works out. [ endilwen's advice column | Ask endilwen A Question ]

(Insert name here), it isn't working. I'm sorry, but I don't think I like you as much as you like me. You need someone who can see what an amazing person you are (make it look good for him) and I don't think I'm the right person.

You don't need to outline reasons or feel guilty about it or anything, just do it. Breaking up happens and it's nobody's fault, but the sooner you get it done the less he'll lose out so hurry.
