Be honest with him if he gets mad at least at the end he can respect the fact that you were upfront and honest. Just explain to him how you feel and tell him that you don't really want a relationship right now but you still want to be friends with him.

Do you love him as more than a friend? I think that's the question you need to worry about. If your interest is purely platonic, then it is not fair to him - or you - to continue the relationship. You're preventing both of you from finding someone else you can truly enjoy being with.
If you want to break up with him, make sure you do it in a gentle way that indicates that you value his friendship so much that you think continuing the romantic relationship will ruin it. If you don't handle it in a nice way, you will lose him completely and that's always sad. :(
Good luck.

You shouldn't have to change your stance just because he's sensitive. If you only want to be friends and not anything else, that's how it should be. If he's sensitive, maybe prepare in advance what you'd say to him and polish and refine it in a way that not hurt him a lot. Maybe even bounce it off your friends to see how it sounds. But, that's the best you can do. Be crystal clear about what you have to convey - yet in the nicest way you possibly can. If he's a real friend, he'll understand.

Wait, why are you breaking up with him? He's sensitive? That's a plus! You enjoy his friendship, so why jeopardize that by breaking up with him. If you have problems with the relationship itself, talk to him and work them out. If they really are irreconcilable, then yes, it's time to move on, but you will lose a great friend.

You can't be with him if you don't want it. It leads to nothing; you'll be unhappy and he, of course, will soon realise that he's not the kind of boy you'd like to be with. I think you should tell him it, of course politely and in the most sensitive way that's possible... I hope he'll understand and you'll be just friends once more. Good luck!

Sweet and sensitive doesn't take care of your needs. Dump the loser, but do it in a nice way.
Oh, and sweetie, for a guy, SENSITIVE = GAY
