 First of all, do it in person! Never in an email, text, facebook, phone, etc. Much better in person.
Next, you can use the line I gave my boyfriend back in school when I wanted to break things off: "I'm just not ready for a relationship, but if I was, I'd definitely want to be with you." Yes, it may be a little white lie in your mind, but it's a good way to let him down easily instead of saying "I hate you and never want to see you again!"

 The master lines, "You are a great guy," "I just wanna be friends," "I am not ready for a relationship right now." are going to make him angry. I think you should be honest with him and tell him reasons why you choose to be single, and that even when a greater guy comes along you won't be interested. He has to respect that and no amount of persistence would change your mind.

The best way to do it is to just say that though he is a lovely guy, you're in no way ready to commit and you think it would be better for you both to move on. Just say you're not ready for a committed relationship and don't want to waste his time. Be gentle but firm when dumping, and be direct. He'll understand after a while, and both of you will move on.
