Even if he is unimaginably depressed and is upset, you cannot lie to him just to make him feel better cuz in the longrun you will only be hurting him more and ruining the friendship you two have together. If he is your BEST friend he'll understand when you tell him you just enjoy him being there as a best friend rather than a boyfriend. Guys don't usually like hearing the horrible words: "LETS JUST BE FRIENDS". its like nails on a chalkboard to them, but in this situation, he's your best friend. It would be 100 times better to tell him how you feel and explain things to him. If he's really your friend, he'll understand and let it go, and appreciate having you as, at least, a friend!

Tell him that he's your best friend & that you don't want anything to ever happen to mess that up & if you went out & ended up breaking up, things might change & you don't want that.
Since he gets depressed easily, tell him that there are plenty of girls who would be happy to go out with him to make him feel better. Then hang out with him not too long after telling him. That way he knows that nothing has changed with your friendship.
