Should I break off the engagement?

Dear Panel,

I am twenty years old. I attend college full-time, work part-time, and enjoy staying active.

He is twenty, tall, nice guy, very loving and caring. He likes the outdoors and cars.

Once upon a time, there was this girl who met this guy at a party (at a time when things were a little hectic in her life). She became best friends with this guy and thought he was very sweet and loving, but this guy eventually fell in love with her.

Unfortunately, she didn't feel the same way, but she did care about him and love him as a best friend. After having asked her out numerous times before, she eventually gave in, even though he was her best friend and it seemed a little weird. She kinda felt sorry for him and thought he deserved a chance.

After one year of dating, things got bad for this girl at home. This guy offered this girl a place to stay, where he lived with his parents. Being that she trusted him, she accepted his proposal.

After two years, he proposed to her and she accepted.

Every now and then she has her doubts and doesn't feel really ready. She does try to talk to him about it, but he starts to get sad on her. She truly does love him and doesn't want to hurt him. She just doesn't feel really sure about this much of a commitment, not right now anyways (even though she did except his proposal).

How do I tell him that I'm not ready? Should I?
