Don't wait for a "good moment" to tell him. There will never be a good moment to tell bad news. You'll only be delaying the inevitable and he will feel it. With that in mind, wait to be in a good environment. You don't want to do it in public where he could feel trapped and ill at ease to process the info. You want him to be in a place where he can express his feeling without being embarrassed.
It is important for closure to tell him why you don't want to be with him anymore. Try and find answers to the question you could have asked if/when you were in his position.
It feels bad to breakup with someone when the other seems to still love/like you and you've fallen out of it and you'll feel guilt, but by breaking up as soon as you are sure, you are respecting the other's feeling by not lying to them about still liking them and that's also how you'll feel better.

Hello!
I would be honest, yet be kind. Find the reason you don't want to be with him and explain it nicely.
Example-He is too clingy. Say something like, i feel like we are better friends than boyfriend and girlfriend.

I would sit down with your boyfriend and have an open discussion about your worries and how your feelings have changed towards wanting a relationship. Be honest, kind and remain open and honest.

Just tell him. Think about it, find a good place and try to understand him. Think what is he feeling and understand him.

Take him to something that he likes to do. Explain to him that you've had fun, but that you don't believe this relationship is heading where you want it to. You explain that it's been over in your mind for a while. If he tries to keep you around, explain to him that he deserves someone who actually loves him.

Be brutally honest and open about it without being insensitive.
There is no plan or guide that will outline how to soften some sort of blow.

Writing it gently in a letter may soften the blow. You can be firm, gentle and honest at the same time. Good luck!

Be honest and upfront. He will aprreciate that more than lying, cheating or being deceiving. Just let him know the truth, it will hurt him either way but being upfront and honest hurts less than being lied and cheated on. Tell him when you felt this way, if there is a reason as to way, or if it’s just that your feelings faded. Try to end on good terms. Takes a while but you can do it
