Well, if you are doing the dumping, then do it like this:
- pick a time when neither of you are stressed
- get some private time where you can be alone together
- explain clearly your reason (I'm sorry but I just think we're drifting apart and it's not working out anymore...)
Be prepared to answer any questions that he asks like 'Is it me?' 'Don't you like me anymore?'
Be kind and gentle in your replies, particularly if he is an emotional or sensitive guy (yes there are some out there!)
Once it's over, be strong - don't be tempted to go back out with him again if you feel a bit miserable in the period whilst you are re-adjusting to being single again.
~hope this helps

It is better to end the friendship totally.
Be open and honest with him and tell him that you like him as a friend but you do not feel that he is the person you want to be in a committed relationship with.
If you are still in high school or college, tell him that you are not ready to settle down with one person right now and you want to date other men so you can learn what it is that you truly want in a relationship.
Please don't tell him that you would really like to be his friend still. If he does have feelings for you, it will hurt his feelings when you break it off. It is almost impossible for a guy to remain a friend when he sees you with another man and he knows what he lost in you. It will be like a dagger in his heart. Down the road if your paths cross again, there is a good chance that he can and will be your friend.
End it as gently and respectfully as you possible can. Let him know that it is not an easy decision and it hurts you to make it but you know it is the right decision for you.
Good luck to you both.
