No need to hash up anything about how he just got dumped. His being dumped is probably why he's asking you out to begin with. To rake him over the coals about that would just cause him to be hurt all the more, and that's just cruel. [ Brandi_S's advice column | Ask Brandi_S A Question ]

solidadvice4teens answered Tuesday January 15 2013, 11:58 pm: Tell him "Look you just broke up with my best-friend about a week ago. It isn't fair for me to go out with someone she just broke up with and I won't. I like you but not romantically. If you want a friend that would be great but if not I'm just not into you that way. Sorry."
I would have to think he can't possibly have genuinely loved her or you for that matter as he's jumping from her to you or whomever else really fast and likely just to have someone rather than nobody.
If our friend kicked him to the curb there has to be a bloody good reason for it. Find out. Even if you dig this guy consider him poison for now at least. Why? If you got involved you would piss your friend off perhaps for good and ruin a friendship. She may have dumped him but believe me hurts still for having done so.
What you should do is tell her you are friends with this guy but that he put you in a tough spot and asked you out immediately after the break-up. Tell her you said "no way" but that this guy has a lot of nerve and you aren't interested and set him straight. She needs to know.
