Done beat around the bush and just straight up tell them your not interested. I know this sounds harsh but if you dont tell them from the start your going to lead them on and then they really will get hurt! Its better to be honest in the beginning!

Hope i helped (:

Be straight forward and tell it like it is, This saying doesn't mean "Well you are kind of ugly or short and not really my type" Simply say, I am not interested in having a romantic relationship with you. That is just about as nice as it's going to get. Beating around bush, Is only going to think that maybe somewhere down the line there might be hope for them and that you will think about it or take it into consideration. Hey if someone isn't your type just tell them you'd rather remain friends.

By not beating around the bush!
You don't need to think up some long winded, sugar coated speech to let someone know you're not interested. You can't help how you feel.
Just say something simple and to the point, such as "I just want to be friends".. It gets the point across and isn't harsh. Just make sure afterwards, you don't lead them on in any way.. as some people hold on to that tiny little bit of hope..

"I'm not interested in you."

Clarity is nice. Most people think they should be delicate, and that is pretty much just plain wrong in 99% of cases. The kindest thing you can do is make sure your position is clear, so there is no false hope or begging and desperate trying to win you over afterwards. That is just embaressing and unpleasant for everyone, and it can kill friendships.

Honestly is nice. Honesty is the only chance you and he have at becoming friends. Be completely honest. If the answer is "No. Never. Don't see you like that at all." say that. You owe him the truth.
