Today it was that I had to go back to the theatre because I left my ID and money there. I didn't. I just really don't want to get to the point where I absolutely have to say, "Look, you're a good friend, but I'm not interested, and I'm sorry," or lie and pretend to return the feelings.
I feel like a total douche.

If you feel you've given him a proper chance, I'd say let him off as soon as you can. It's usually only as awkward as you make it and it's better that you let him know sooner rather than later. Guys don't know how to look for signals very well, so you'll probably have to be direct but soft. Make sure he knows you enjoy his company as a friend but don't harbor those kinds of feelings toward him. And hide every let down between two compliments.
Just my 2 cents
