A boy in my class asked me out this week. He's sweet but I don't like him like that, so I said no. Now I feel like I've made him sad and I don't want him to be sad.

The alternative is to say yes and make yourself unhappy. That's not much of a choice
I think the best thing to do in this situation is to be friendly to him. I know some would say something about a "friend zone" but maybe it's better to leave it to him if he wants to be friends or not. This is a difficult situation for both people to be in, but unless you have interest in him that way there's really nothing else you can do (without being outright rude, which I'm guessing isn't what you want) -
that's hard situation. It would make him sad now. But if you were to go out with him, be even sader if you did go out for a while then told him (after he'd got more feeling for you)
I'm with Cayce. If he likes you and knows how you feel, and wants to be just friends, you can still both be happy like that. In the future things could change and you do like him like that, or you help him with someone else who likes him back. Then he can be happy with that

I’ve been on both ends of this sort of situation, liking someone who didn’t like me in that way, AND being asked out by someone who I wasn’t attracted to. It’s difficult, whatever the situation, but I think all you can be is honest with yourself and the other person. Hopefully you can stay friends, especially if he’s a nice guy, like you say.

I think he'll get over it.
I'm sure he'll hear a "NO" more often in his life.
-
relax, he'll get over it, just stay friends with him, and dont spread it around that you said "no"
-
It would be worse to say yes and lead him on, you can still be friends and you may get to know him betterI’m not clumsy its just the floor hates me, the tables and chairs are bullies and the wall gets in the way

Unfortunately, there's no way to turn someone down and not make them sad, no matter how much you sugar coat it. Being rejected sucks balls, but he'll get over it eventually.Keyboard not found. Press F1 for help.

It will be ok. They will get over it. And the at least they asked rather than leaving it bottled up inside.
You may need to distance yourself from them for a bit for them to get over it. -
Thank you. He will I think I just like him and don't want him to be upset, but it's hard that he hasn't really talked to me much the last few days like he used to.

honestly is always best. If you go he'll get the wrong idea and it'll be harder in the long run. Just have to be nice about saying no.

Yes that's the hard part because he's always been one that I've joked around with and looked for when I get to school and now he's hardly talked to me for a few days.

it's never easy when one person has feelings that the other doesn't have.

Either he'll get over it or not but that's on him, not you. -
You want to not go out with him
He wants to go out with you
it’s your choice about whether you wanted to or not and you wouldn’t want to get uncomfortable if he wants to get real serious. That would just be weird
