I need to end things with my LD b/f but I don't want to come across as being a jerk

Happy Easter everyone. I’m in a bit of a fix and struggling to comprehend it myself. Will try and vocalise it the best I can. Right theres this guy I’ve known for two years now, we went out for a while and then I broke it off (because it was long distance and my family were very anti) but we kept it friendly, too friendly most of the time. I’ve got to a stage now where I want to and am ready to cut ties and be completely single (off to college next year, exams to study for and I’ve realised that I don’t want to be with him, its too safe and ultimately he’s not right for me despite being an utterly lovely guy) I’m just not feeling it. I’m not in love with him; I love how it feels to be loved by him. Feel so awful saying it!!! It’s only just dawned on me that that’s the case, I don’t want to string him along any more, he’s too dear to me. Don’t want to hurt him and I know I’m using him because it feels good to be loved. What can I do/say… I can’t do it in person because its long distance and I really can’t get away from high school/revising at the moment, we talk mainly via msn. Feel a bit lost, don't want to be awful and I hate knowing I cant reciprocate how he feels. Thank you in advanced xxx
