 Difficult to assess without knowing the personalities.  I'd say propose, but that one can backfire on you big time.  
I think there is more bad Karma to maintaining a relationship without the zing to it than there is to having the hard conversation.  And more likelihood they'll drop out of your life forever if the relationship suffers before dying. 
Oh, and S^2's suggestion really doesn't always work.  Like I said, it depends on the personalities.
