If you are really concerned about his feelings, you could really step out on the limb and try to hook him up with someone else. If he will allow you to do so.

It wasn't particularly fun, but one thing I can tell you for sure is that I have a lot more respect for this guy today because he was honest with me. It was a slightly different situation, but he still had to get the guts up to tell me. It was worth it. [ downwithhydrogen's advice column | Ask downwithhydrogen A Question ]
mycete answered Thursday October 16 2003, 9:06 pm: There is no good way to tell a guy that you don't like him. No matter how soft you make it, it is still rejection. If you want to be his friend be sure to say that. It will make it a bit softer. I would also tell him as soon as possible so that he can find someone else to go with. If you know him, you could mention to one of your friends that he is available for homecoming. [ mycete's advice column | Ask mycete A Question ]
Turc answered Thursday October 16 2003, 9:04 pm: Don't lie to him, because if he finds out you were lying it would only hurt him worse. Instead, tell him you're sorry, but you're going with someone else. That way, you aren't making an excuse- you ARE going with someone else; and he'll just be upset some other guy "cut to the chase" quicker than he did. Just be straightforward and honest about it, don't beat around the bush. [ Turc's advice column | Ask Turc A Question ]
snarfism answered Thursday October 16 2003, 8:28 pm: You should probably tell him you are are really sorry but you only see him as a friend. Don't lie, it will only end in anger and embarassment. [ snarfism's advice column | Ask snarfism A Question ]
