I want to break up with my boyfriend...?

Okay so me and my boyfriend, lets say Jeremy, have been going out for almost five months now. I care about him and everything like I don't wanna lose him completely... But I really think we jumped into a relationship to fast. Like we didn't make time to get to know each other first and now the relationship for me is not worth wile for me anymore. I feel like being his friend and maybe us talking and hanging out like taking a break from commitment and step back so we wont end up hating each other or never talking again. The problem is he's inlove with me , and likes the relationship alot more than I do right now. I want a break from commitment and I want to be free. How do I tell him this? I don't want to hurt him, but I need to do this soon. I'm tired of being committed and living a lie. But whenever I get the courage to do it, I see him and I see how happy I make him and I chicken out. Help?I want to break up with my boyfriend...?
listen, if you just tell him EXACTLY this, he will really understand. don't be afraid. he won't be sad. or mad. or angry. just do it (:I want to break up with my boyfriend...?
i agree with the 1st answer, if he really does love you as much as your saying they he would let you be happy with the decision your about to make
thee way you could tell him this without hurting him is probably being friends with''benefits'' therefore you can go to thee movies talk nd get to know each other when no one is being rushed and when you feel like you are ready to get back on board then you work everything out back to the way it was
