You don't understand how much you've hurt this guy already just by saying yes! He's now filled with hope and thinks he's finally found a girl that likes him as much as he likes her. But you've just got his hopes up. The only way you can get out of this is to tell him the turth!
Ok, so he'll be hurt at first, but he will get over it. Do you really want to be the b*tch that went out with a boy cause you felt sorry for him THEN lied to him about it?!
Make up your own mind, but think about how he feels.

First off get him on his own, he'll be mortified if you dump him publically. Then gently tell him that you would just like to be friends. Simple!
To avoid yourself getting into other sticky situations like this, tell all the other lads that ask you out but you don't want to go out with, that you would just like to be friends.

well, tell him to his face when you are both alone as soon as possible sounds like youre a thoughtfull enough person to put the right words together,but be clear as people can choose to only hear the parts they wanna hear sometimes

Now you have said yes, the situation may be hard to get out of, because he obviously thinks your interested and you have given him false hopes. I know you haven't done this intentionally, but that is the way it's turned out. You need to finish the relationship and get it overwith if your not happy. The best way to do this is let him down gently, however i don't think there's anyway around it without hurting his feelings. Just say to him that you've had a long, hard think about it, and you have realised that you think of him as a friend and not a potential boyfriend. Tell him that you truly value him as a friend and you hope you can still be friends.
Good luck
