I'm happy to give you a serious answer instead of a snarky one, but frankly, I wouldn't rely much on my advice. Dating is something I've never pretended to understand, and generally view asking relationship advice of me as similar to asking your 90-something grandparent for help on the internet: it's nice of you to listen, but probably not a big learning opportunity for you.
If you want him to be a friend, just treat him that way, and invite him on things that don't look like one-on-one "dates". Tell him you're heading to sports bar X to see the game with a couple of people and invite him along.
It doesn't sound like it's gone so far to make friendship uncomfortable, but another date or two and that won't be true. Whether you talk to him about the friend thing or just behave like you're just friends and go with it, I'd avoid anything that looks like a date. If he asks you to something that does, then I'd say, let's not do a date, but I'm happy to hang out as friends.
And of course he's gay.
