Old high school friend and dating continued

On June 17th, I posted a song that an old high school friend wanted me to listen to and I had mentioned that we were going on a first date. Well time has gone by, and it looks like I still have not found the man of my dreams. We have gone out every weekend since that night and each date has revealed characteristics that just make me think we just are not compatible. I'm very outgoing, and he is not. I love sports, he could care less about them. I love to dance, he won't go there. He does not like to be around too many people, I love to meet new people and I can strike a conversation with just about anyone. He is very sweet to me and loves to take me out places where he feels comfortable, but the more I get to know him, the more I see we are just different people. Physically he is not my normal type but I thought I would try someone different for a change. Not working! I have been trying to figure out if I should give him more time to break out of his shell because I have noticed that since he has been dating me, he seems to be trying things he had not done before, but he seems to have a fear of people he does not know or being around people. I have been advised by friends, family members and co-workers on what I should do and all of them have said I should end it now. He is not for me they say. I see it, but I guess I'm just being too nice. Now I am contemplating the break up. When and how? Any advise? I could use some good break up ideas that are easy on the heart.
