Yes, you are stuck. He drove from another city, the absolute bare minimum you can do is sit through dinner and provide good conversation. He may feel the same way about you, but he's looking at it from a "welp... already here... might as well" mentality. I've been on dozens of blind dates where I knew it was going nowhere. We still finished our dinner/dessert, perhaps a post dinner drink and went on our way. Society need not devolve to ashes because two people in the same room don't want to fuck.

Oof. That doesn’t sound fun. Must have been awkward.
Next time, I’d suggest trying to assess people better before meeting. 🥂
Have the dinner, participate in polite small talk, don’t drag it out, offer to split the bill, afterwards you can say that you appreciate them coming out to meet you but you just want to be ‘friends’. 🙃
Basically, don’t lead them on—but also don’t be rude either.
In my opinion, that would be the best way to minimize drama and keep a good reputation.

I once had a woman do that. It was a blind date, we had met through the personals -- this was before the Internet, etc. As soon as she saw me, her expression was one of disappointment, and although she didn't say anything, I knew it wasn't happening, so I just asked her where she lived and drove her home.
What? You said you were going to tell him you weren't interested. You knew this dude was a creep so you made your own mess.
Be polite but be firm at the end of your date
Good luckSadly it's just one of those things you just have to put up with in life, It's odviously going to be Awkward and Uncomfortable so you can only try to to be polite to him and avoid it Happening again in the future.
Why don't you say that you don't see him as a potential partner
Just do the best to enjoy yourself. He went out of his way to see you. Even if there's no second date, he tried.
He drove from another city. At least have dinner with him. The more you get to know a person, the more their physical looks can even change. Give the guy a chance.
You can stand anything until Tuesday.
You could if you want or you can tell him in a nice way you not interested
