Don't worry about letting the guy down easily. Its not like this is the ONLY bp available, and if this convinces his girlfriend that getting a BP is a good idea then you still did the guy a favor by helping to convince the girlfriend.

If you decide you absolutely want to keep this BP and you feel awkward about telling them then just get misty eyed and start apologizing to them, if you become overly emotional they will naturally feel the need to calm you down and say its okay (and if they don't then you have reason to question their character...haha.)

Just be sure that you will be the better long term home, by that I mean be sure you will be willing to sacrifice for this little guy in the future by putting his needs first when you move to new places and such (don't take an apartment that says "no pets") etc...
